The present article posits the existence of conflicting relationships between born-in-Africa Africans and Diaspora Africans, two peoples that are actually one, though separated by history and geography. Leaning on historiography, sociology, psychology, Afrocentrism, and postcolonialism as theories, and axiology and panopticism as paradigms, the paper analyzes the relationship between Africa and her Diaspora, with Africa used metaphorically as „Mother‟ and ‟Motherland.‟ It also explores the us versus them dichotomy in (re)shaping self through theorizing space/place, culture, and identity (ies). It further analyzes the politicization of race and ethnicity that dialogues the „in-group‟ and „out-group‟ formation as it paves the way for the politics of discursive de-racialization, de-ethnicization, and de-territorialization for togetherness in a differentiated otherization and ethos.
