<< "This book is based on an international conference on the African Diaspora

and the Modern World that I organized as director of the Center for African

and African American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin in

February 1996.  [...] The conference was made possible by the support of

UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural

Organization. [...] At the University of Texas the conference benefited

from the encouragement and support of then dean of the College of Liberal

Arts and now executive vice president and provost, Dr. Sheldon

Ekland-Olson, as well as that of the Office of the President and the

Institute of Latin American Studies.  [...]  Cosponsored by UNESCO (United

Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization), the conference

was the principal event held in the United States under the aegis of the

United Nations International Year for Tolerance. [...]
