Textul de pe ultima copertă
"Two threads of belief are featured throughout this book: namely, the belief in the universal truth of the equality of peoples and the belief in education as a crucial phenomenon to improve the lives of African peoples. The Afrocentricity featured in this book is void of the reproduction of racial stereotypes that undergird cultural and genetic superiority of one racial group over another. Rather, the authors present a renewed examination of Afrocentricity that emphasizes the appreciation of African cultural, historical and political heritage in the development of the individual and the nation state. The authors lend support to the adage to know your history is to know yourself."
—Dr. Ciyata Dinah Coleman, former Associate Professor, Clark Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
This book contends that Afrocentricity and other ideas birthed by major contemporary Black thinkers in the Diaspora are wellsprings for helping to build a new Africa. This book examines these ideas, which have given rise to the Africanist Perspective on the Motherland to place Africa at the center of all intellectual discourses pertaining to African people everywhere while at the same time challenging the pervasive and pernicious Eurocentric myth of African people being inactive agents in history. These contributions from a global range of scholars across disciplines examine the work of contemporary great Black thinkers as sources that can be employed to help in the construction of a new Africa. Each chapter examines how these thinkers conceptualized Africa in their works, with the main objective of delineating their conceptualizations to generate suggestions on how to rebuild the continent.
