Molefi Kete Asante is Professor of African American Studies at Temple University.
"An Afrocentric Manifesto is the most comprehensive response to
those critics that charge Afrocentricity is a closed system.
Building on the work of Cruse, Nkrumah and Karenga, Asante defines
Afrocentricity as a paradigmatic intellectual perspective linking
research to ethical praxis."
Charles P. Henry, University of California, Berkeley
"In An Afrocentric Manifesto, Molefi Kete Asante has
accomplished something quite extraordinary in addressing a wide
range of issues shaping current discourse on Afrocentricity and
related themes."
