B. DuBois, adopted a transnational perspective. ████ ███ ████ ███ ███████ ████████ ███ ███ █████ ██ █████ ███ ███ █████████ ██ █████ ██ ██ ███████ ███████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ███████ █████████ ██ ███ ██████ ██████ ████ ██ ██ ███████ █████████

Main point ·
Early African American historians who took a transnational perspective were nationalist, too
This nationalism is based on a diasporic community (spread across different countries). These historians wrote the history of a people with a collective identity, who saw themselves as part "nation" without a homeland or with Africa as home.

Although we know that some black leaders called for emigration, we don’t know whether any historians did, or whether those historians were the “most prominent African American historians.”

Not supported. We have no reason to think historians who took a nationalist approach focused on “entirely different events.” Maybe there was some overlap in the events each kind of historian studied.
