In An Afrocentric Manifesto, Molefi Kete Asante examines
and explores the cultural perspective closest to the existential
reality of African people in order to present an innovative
interpretation on the modern issues confronting contemporary
society.
Thus, this book engages the major critiques of Afrocentricity, defends the necessity for African people to view themselves as agents instead of as objects on the fringes of Europe, and proposes a more democratic framework for human relationships.
An Afrocentric Manifesto completes Asante's quartet on Afrocentric theory. It is at the cutting edge of this new paradigm with implications for all disciplines and fields of study. It will be essential reading for urban studies, philosophy, African and African American Studies, social work, sociology, political science, and communication.
