Afrocentrism

Afrocentrism is an intellectual and cultural movement that emphasizes the importance of African history, culture, and contributions to civilization. It seeks to re-center African people and their experiences in the narrative of world history, countering Eurocentric perspectives that often overlook or marginalize African influence. By highlighting achievements in art, science, literature, and philosophy from Africa and the African diaspora, Afrocentrism aims to foster pride, awareness, and a deeper understanding of African heritage, promoting the idea that African culture is integral to global history and identity.
