Afrocentrism

Afrocentrism (also Afrocentricity) is a cultural ideology or worldview that focuses on the history of people of African descent. It is a response to global (Eurocentric) attitudes about African people and their historical contributions; it revisits their history with an African cultural and ideological focus.
The term "Afrocentrism" dates to 1962.[10] The adjective "Afrocentric" appears in a typescript proposal for an entry in Encyclopedia Africana, possibly due to W. E. B. Du Bois.[11] The abstract noun "Afrocentricity" dates to the 1970s,[12][page needed] and was popularized by Molefi Asante's Afrocentricity: The Theory of Social Change(1980).
