Description
Book Synopsis
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, Afrocentrism not only demolishes the mythical "history" taught by black ultra-nationalists but suggests paths towards a true historical consciousness of Africa and its diaspora.Review Quotes
"The bravest work to appear from the academy in years."--Financial Times Books of the Year (1998) "Precise and courageous ... Howe's book is a landmark."--Brian Appleyard, Sunday Times "A spirited, meticulously researched polemic ... With unrelenting energy and intellectual rigour, Howe traces the history and development of Afrocentric ideas."--Kate Teltscher, Guardian "Stephen Howe's candid book goes right to the heart of one of the most vexing of contemporary America's problems ... A great service for all who are interested in the intellectual study of race and racism in the US."--Caryl Phillips, Financial Times
