Kemet, Afrocentricity and Knowledge

by Molefi Kete Asante | Africa World Press (1990)

Reviews

“Asante's book, Kemet,Afrocentricity,and Knowledge, continues his project of forging a new discipline out of the many strands of Black Studies. Like his previous works, this is a profound statement of the Afrocentric perspective.”
—C. Tsehloane Keto, Ph.D

“This book addresses the most important theoretical and methodological questions facing the discipline of African American Studies. Asante's point is that Africology is a discipline, not a group of courses related only in their subject matter. He makes a phenomenal advance in our conceptualization.”
—Patrick D. Bellegarde-Smith, Ph.D
