Afrocentrism

In this provocative study Stephen Howe traces the sources and ancestries of the Afrocentric movement and closely analyses the writings of its leading proponents. Hard-hitting yet subtle and scholarly in its appraisal of Afrocentric ideas and based on wide-ranging research in the histories both of Afro-America and of Africa itself <i>Afrocentrism</i> not only demolishes the mythical “history” taught by black ultra-nationalists but suggests paths towards a true historical consciousness of Africa and its diaspora.
