Peer reviewedKarenga, Maulana – Journal of Black Studies, 1988
Black Studies is increasingly being shaped and defined for Blacks rather than by Blacks. Black Studies scholars must adopt a position apart from, outside, or in critique of the established paradigm of Eurocentric scholarship, and operate within an Afrocentric historical paradigm. (BJV)

Hood, John – Diversity: A Critical Journal of Race and Culture, 1991
The Afrocentric curriculum in many schools tends to oversimplify history in general and African history in particular. Although Afrocentrists want a curriculum that informs and strengthens African-American students, they forget the real need to teach that Western Civilization is a truly multicultural body of knowledge, ideas, and values.
