Afrocentrism

Afrocentrism reclaims African and African diaspora contributions to world history and knowledge that Eurocentric education systematically erased, but it risks overcorrection into selective narratives or essentialist thinking that flattens the continent's actual diversity. The underlying impulse—recovering stolen intellectual and cultural inheritance—is vital; the execution demands rigor and honesty.
