For centuries, racist, colonial, and Eurocentric bias has blocked or distorted knowledge of Africans, their histories and cultures, resulting in a counter mythology claiming the innate superiority of African-descended peoples. In this provocative study, historian Stephen Howe challenges this Afrocentric rewriting of African history. 16 photos.This volume argues that the Afrocentric movement is guilty of reproducing all the central features of Euro-racist scholarship. Offering a mostly fictional history of Africa and its diaspora, it suggests that Afrocentrisum is a symptom of, rather than a cure for, political and economic problems.
