Especially during the last decade, demonstrations, meetings, books and documentaries have focused on this phenomenon, but not sufficiently on people of the African Diaspora. The Central Pennsylvania Consortium addresses this through the 2004 African American Studies Conference, "Globalizations and the African World" on February 27-28 at Gettysburg College.
