Preferred term

Afrocentricity  

Definition(s)

  • Afrocentricity: The Theory of Social Change, the first edition of which was published in 1980, was Molefi Kete Asante's initial thrust toward a critical theoretical framework that advocates analysis of African history and culture and, more generally, world history and culture from an African perspective. Such an Afrocentric critique situates the analysis of phenomena in the cultural agency of African people. [Source: Encyclopedia of Black Studies; Afrocentricity]
