Résumé anglais Based on an analysis of the African diaspora representations in Ryan Coogler's Black Panther (2018), this article argues how the complexities of diasporic blackness and the multiplicities of life experiences in the African Continent were historically reduced and caricatured to acclimate to some pan-Africanist models proposed by intellectuals such as Crummell, Blyden and Du Bois. What blackness is Black Panther talking about? In a dialogue with Kwame Anthony Appiah thoughts, the text discusses issues such as the relationship between tradition/modernity, temporality and ancestry, pointing to a US hegemonic and liberal capitalist logic in the formulation of the pan-Africanist premises enacted in the movie.
