metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is dedicated to afropolitanism, a phenomenon that has arisen in the 21st century among
  young African professionals, ambitious and focused on their careers, and ready to declare their
  readiness to oppose cosmopolitanism and thus defying the older generation. On the one hand,
  afropolitanism can be considered as an alternative to cosmopolitanism, and, on the other, both of
  its offspring (or a variety of it), cosmopolitanism with African roots (or an African face). In fact, it
  is the idea (or complex of ideas), philosophy (and aesthetics), research paradigm and the movement, replacing the Pan-Africanism and Negritude. The author of the article pays special attention to the
  new transcontinental identity, the formation of which is related to the mainstreaming activities of
  young African intellectuals, especially writers, positioning themselves in cyberspace as “AfriGen
  (Generation+Africa)”. They are the African “Talented Ten”: Taye Selassie, an Anglo-American writer
  of Nigerian-Ghanaian origin; Teju Cole and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, African American writers
  of Nigerian descent; Dinaw Mengestu, an Ethiopian-American writer and novelist; the blogger Minna
  Salami (Miss Afropolitan); and others. Refs 28.
