Daniel M. Mengara, ed. Afrocentricity: Towards a New Understanding of the African Experience. Contribution by Molefi Kete Asante. Coming Soon: To be published by the University Press of America.
Afrocentrism or Afrocentricity as an intellectual movement has grown in strength and respectability in the past four decades mostly thanks to the unwavering efforts of such black scholars and activists as Cheikh Anta Diop, G.G. James, Molefi Asante, John Henrik Clarke, among others, as well as those of early Afrocentrists from the 19th century who spearheaded the movement in their bid to seek the ultimate liberation of black people, whatever such liberation meant for them. The various contributors to this volume will shed further light on the African experience as shared by Africans and peoples of African descent from antiquity to date.
