In An Afrocentric Pan Africanist Vision: Afrocentric Essays, Molefi
Kete Asante, engages the age-old debate on Pan Africanism by
providing an innovative orientation to the established discourse
developed during the twentieth century. Asante opens an
interrogation of the Padmorian tradition of a socialist Pan
Africanism by suggesting that a deeper entry into the histories and
narratives of the literary, economic, social, and spiritual values
of the thousands of African societies scattered throughout the
world could sustain a different agency analysis of Pan Africanism
without grafting an external idea on the unity of Africa. Using his
vast knowledge of the history of Africa, Asante suggests that the
African renaissance cannot take place unless there is a commitment
to creating an African community conscious of its own myths,
origins, and economic, cultural, and philosophical traditions.
