Historians Su Lin Lewis (University of Bristol) and Rachel Leow (Cambridge University) came together with Tarim, a digital technologist to develop a database that maps the vibrant, transnational networks of activists, intellectuals, and artists moving between Africa and Asia in the 1950s and 1960s. This historical data has been contributed by a wider collaborative research network of historians, literary scholars, philosophers and political scientists.

You can read more on the Afro-Asian Networks website and on the Afro-Asian Visions Blog. 

The Afro-Asian Networks Visualised project builds on research gathered by a group of scholars in these collaborations.

Thanks to the Brigstow Institute for part-funding this project.
