• W237491133 abstract "An Afrocentric Manifesto Molefi Kete Asante, An Afrocentric Manifesto: Toward an Renaissance (Cambridge, UK and Malden, MA) Polity Press, 2007. 174pp. ISBN 9780745641034 Proponents of the globalization process argue that the homogenization of world culture is reflective of the growing universality of norms and customs reflective of both democracy and liberal market economies. The Afrocentric Manifesto rightly questions these assertions of multiculturalism which fail to recognize the legitimate contribution of Africans to the world's historical, artistic, and intellectual development, while simultaneously challenging cultural hegemony. Afrocentricity, according of Asante is not simply an ideological and theoretical foundation which acknowledges the experience for people; it also serves as a personal narrative illustrating the sustainability of an intellectual praxis which has yet to reach its full potential. In connecting to the previous works of Cheikh Anta Diop, Maulana Karenga, and Harold Cruse, Asante seeks to rescue the continent from the clutches of anthropologists through establishing a genuine narrative of Africa through explaining how Diopian Histography, Kawaida, and Black Nationalism movements all influence Afrocentricity but remain distinctively different in its ideological orientation. In the first chapter Assante revisits Afrocentricity through the lens of Martinique scholar Ama Mazama in an attempt not to focus on the temporality of events as African history and Africa need no defense, but to place the subject at the center of historical analysis, in the interpretation and manifestation of cultural will and cultural consciousness. According to Mazama, the notion of Afrocentricity connects Africa to the essential processes of agency and voice, through which Africans throughout the Diaspora situate their learned experiences in a localized and global context outside the boundaries of ethnocentrism and racism. This recognition of values unmasks the rhetoric of power, privilege, and position as Africans discover social experiences conducive to the enhancement of individual and collective selfworth. The thematic core of Afrocentricity in the following chapters emphasize the importance of theory in practice as a liberation model which extends beyond the notion of Africa itself through the application of strategies in education and history. Of particular importance In Search of an Afrocentric Historiography is emblematic in its critique of the continued suppression of intellectual history and impact of post colonial vestiges on the psychological condition. The dominance of power based ideologies within the Western world, have allowed Eurocentric values to maintain their privileged assumptions in which differences between Africa and Europe are erroneously accentuated. Stanley Crouch (Stanley Crouch. Beyond the Afrocentric Con, Alternatives to Afrocentrism, Center for the New American Community, Manhattan Institute, 1994, pp. 62-63) and other critics have argued that Afrocentricity offers little in the form of intellectual substance based on its particularistic nature, which is a direct result of racial isolationism.1 Asante uses this chapter to invalidate the notion that Eurocentric historiography is not universal but particularistic as it relates to the human experience. Through distinguishing between these two forms of historiography as a rebuttal to such assaults Asante's focus on solely on Africa does not alienate Afrocentric thought, but invigorates the political and cultural imagination of Africa's larger communities through its influence on attitude, language, and direction. The ability of Afrocentricity to foster collective agency and open discourse in favor of multiculturalism is imperative for the preservation of culture and society, as each are complimentary to Western civilization rather than subordinate to its doctrine. …" @default.
