The Afrocentric Idea in Education.

Asante, Molefi Kete

Journal of Negro Education, v60 n2 p170-80 Spr 1991

Discusses Afrocentricity in education and its potential benefit to both Black and White youth. Schools do not sufficiently cover slavery and its aftermath; many Whites are unaware of African American culture and contributions. An Afrocentric formation would also foster academic success among Black youth. (DM)
