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.

Question Type

Main point

The author advances the view that the international perspectives of early African American historians could be characterized as nationalist in that they were rooted in the idea of a diasporic nation of peoples with a common culture. This is best expressed in the last paragraph, where the author’s opinion about the early African American historians comes in.

This doesn’t capture the author’s opinion about early African American historians in the last paragraph. Although early African American historians did take a superficially transnationalist perspective, which differed from the perspective of mainstream historians, the author’s point is that we can actually characterize the perspectives of the early African American historians as nationalistic.
