Womanism and Afrocentrism are the two most influential currents in
contemporary African American culture. They both heighten black
cultural self-awareness, even as they deepen knowledge of its
historical sources. As womanism mines the ways and wisdom of
African American women for Christian theology, so Afrocentricity
excavates an African past to liberate the oppressed from
Eurocentric worldviews. Yet are the two compatible? What does the
mostly male Afrocentric scholarship contribute to the survival,
wholeness, and liberation of black women? In this volume social
ethicist Cheryl Sanders and other leading womanist thinkers take
the measure of the Afrocentric idea and explore the intricate
relationship between Afrocentric and womanist perspectives in their
lives and commitments. Their strong, frank assessments form a
creative engagement of these two momentous streams.
