The Functional Implications of Afrocentrism.

Okafor, Victor Oguejiofor

Western Journal of Black Studies, v18 n4 p185-94 Win 1994

Examines the present state of the African American community in the United States. Discusses both the symbolic and literal concept of "Back to Africa," arguing that the cultural vitality of Afrocentricity and the African diaspora will profit from symbolic Pan-African linkages, linkages that can rejuvenate the cultural life of the African diaspora.
