Afrocentricity: The Theory of Social Change -- Molefi Kete Asante

The central topic of this cross-disciplinary work is the theory of "Afrocentricity," which mandates that Africans be viewed as subjects rather than objects; and looks at how this philosophy, ethos, and world view 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.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Molefi Kete Asante<br><b>Publisher:</b> African American Images<br><b>Published:</b> 09/01/2003<br><b>Pages:</b> 172<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780913543795<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Molefi Kete Asante</b> is the founder of the African American studies department at Temple University.
