Afrocentricity: The Theory of Social Change

Discussed in this cross-disciplinary work is the theory of 'Afrocentricity', which mandates that Africans be viewed as subjects rather than objects and is driven by the question: Is it in the best interest of African people? This book looks at how this philosophy, ethos, and worldview gives Africans a better understanding of how to interpret issues affecting their communities. History, psychology, sociology, literature, economics, and education are explored, including discussions on Washingtonianism, Garveyism, Du Bois, Malcolm X, race and identity, Marxism, and breakthrough strategies.Molefi Kete Asante is the author of 'Afrocentricity: The Theory of Social Change', published 2003 under ISBN 9780913543795 and ISBN 0913543799.
