Facing South to Africa : Toward an Afrocentric Critical Orientation Hardback
by Molefi Kete Asante
Part of the Critical Africana Studies series
Hardback
Description
Facing South to Africa is a bold synthesis of the ideas that have made Afrocentric theorists the leading voices of the African renaissance.
Written from the vantage point of the philosophical and political discourse that emerged over the past twenty-five years, this is a highly readable and accessible introduction to African social and cultural criticism.
Molefi Kete Asante engages in the practice of critical thinking by raising fundamental questions about how Africans view themselves and the world.
Tackling the themes of culture, education, social sciences, the university, politics, African unity, and the prospects for peace in Africa, Facing South to Africa is a fresh, daring, and popularizing synthesis of the best critical thought on the issues of modern knowledge.
Asante’s plan is to reorient our thinking on Africa by asking questions of Africa and Africans rather than imposing preconceived, external ideas on African issues.
