An African-Centered Analysis of Penn et al.'s Critique of the Own-Race Preference Assumption Underlying Africentric Models of Personality.

Kambon, Kobi K. K.; Hopkins, Reginald

Journal of Black Psychology, v19 n3 p342-49 Aug 1993

In "On the Desirability of Own-Group Preference" (1993), Michael L. Penn, Stanley O. Gaines, and Layli Phillips argue that misguided and mythical ideal of racial-social integration in America is the only reasonable and effective foundation for real African empowerment in American society. Serious intellectual battle will be required to liberate the African experience from Eurocentric scholarship. (SLD)
