Afrocentricity: Implications for Higher Education.

Schiele, Jerome H.

Journal of Black Studies, v25 n2 p150-69 Dec 1994

Discusses some ideas about how Afrocentricity can be promoted and integrated in institutions of higher education in the United States. It argues that Afrocentricity offers an alternative to the more dominant Eurocentric view found in higher education and the world and states that the Eurocentric view subscribes to itself exclusive rights to knowledge.
