The theory of Afrocentricity mandates that Africans be viewed as subjects rather than objects and is driven by the question Is it in the best interest of African people?This book looks at how the philosophy, ethos, and worldview of Afrocentricity gives Africans a better understanding of how to interpret issues affecting their communities. History, psychology, sociology, literature, economics, and education are explored, including discussions on Washingtonianism, Garveyism, Du Bois, Malcolm X, race and identity, Marxism, and breakthrough strategies.
