This is one of my favorite topics love that you covered this, feels like not many people know of this rich history or maybe they don't care but still it's great that people like you out there who do keep it up.
Someday I might teach my course Africa Travels, Travels to Africa again; I think the point was too esoteric for my undergraduates, but I was trying to emphasize this great new historiographical work on Africans outside the continent in contexts other than enslavement, and particularly to look at late medieval and early modern Iberia and the Mediterranean as a contact zone full of shipwrecked sailors, travellers, wanderers, itinerants, pilgrims, and just plain lost people that absolutely included Africans from the eastern coast, the Horn of Africa and the savannah belt south of the Sahara.
BRICS rates a few citations and is likely to become more prominent.
Theme - The Decline of The West, which will accelerate as African States resort to trade off the US Dollar System, off SWIFT and remove the European, British and American colonial presence.

It's still a very new topic indeed, and i think more research will uncover a much greater African presence outside the continent.
You certainly deserve more comments.
