Abstract
This article analyzes George Padmore’s role in the Gold Coast independence process, as a counterpoint to the works of other intellectuals who participated and wrote about the same process. George Padmore, Richard Wright and Peter Abrahams are treated here as Africans and outsiders, regardless of their places of origin and birth. In this sense, a reflection on exile and the Black Diaspora is proposed, highlighting the tensions between the black identities of this intellectuality in the search for political paths. The narratives constructed by these intellectuals make it possible to revaluate the notion of hybridity, so that the Intellectual History of the African continent is compared and analyzed from a transnational perspective, regarding the complexity that the Black Diaspora and anti-colonial struggles impose.
