Although traditional academic circles rarely celebrate the work of African or African American thinkers because performers and political figures were more acceptable to narrating histories, this work projects the ideas of several writers with the confidence that Africology, the Afrocentric study of African phenomena, represents an oasis of innovation in progressive venues. The book brings together some of the most discussed theorists and intellectuals in the field of Africology (Africana Studies) for the purpose of sparking further debate, critical interpretations and extensions, and to reform and reformulate the way we approach our critical thought. The contributors' Afrocentric approach offers new interpretations and analysis, and challenges the predominant frameworks in diverse areas such as philosophy, social justice, literature, and history.

First published in 2010. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
The Black Arts Movement was sparked by the Civil Rights movement
and the urge to produce and revitalize functional, realistic, and
holistic symbols to express African American creativity. When Larry
Neal began his quest for a new dramatic form to epitomize African
American self-determination he laid the foundation upon which his
friends and compatriots-Amiri Baraka and Charles Fuller-would
build. Expressing their individual protests through their writings,
these artists soon united in their attack against Eurocentrism,
which traditionally minimized or neglected the roles played by
Africans and African Americans on the world stage. Their writings
signaled a radical change in the form and content of African
American writing, particularly drama.
