Conceptually, Molefi Kete Asante: A Critical Afrocentric Reader is
a reflexive analysis of the editor's space in higher education over
the past three decades. As a historical assessment, this reader is
a narrative that offers a constructive perspective of
Afrocentricity, as the sheer mention of the word draws reaction and
fear from either uniformed or conventional personnel. The book
organizes Asante's writings into four categories: history,
mythology, ethos, and motif. Arranged theoretically, these are the
four concepts that describe and evaluate culture from an
Afrocentric perspective. This study offers an assessment of
Asante's body of literature that continues to position the
philosophy and ideals of the Afrocentric movement internationally.
In the context of being a public intellectual, the core of Asante's
analysis draws inferences in locating Africana occurrences in
place, space, and time. Advancing this idea further, the purpose of
these presages is to motivate scholars in the field of Africana
studies to contribute to the intellectual history of W. E. B. Du
Bois, Maria Stewart, Carter G. Woodson, John Henrik Clarke, and the
countless others who have advanced Africana research and writing.
For many cynics and associates, the scholarship of Asante has not
been thoroughly vetted. Directly or indirectly, Asante offers a
foundation of optimism in forming the outliers of breakdown and
breakthroughs for victorious thought of an Afrocentric perspective.
