<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this provocative study, Stephen Howe traces the sources and ancestries of the Afrocentric movement, and closely analyses the writings of its leading proponents. Hard-hitting yet subtle and scholarly in its appraisal of Afrocentric ideas, and based on wide-ranging research in the histories both of Afro-America and of Africa itself, <i>Afrocentrism</i> not only demolishes the mythical "history" taught by black ultra-nationalists but suggests paths towards a true historical consciousness of Africa and its diaspora.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The bravest work to appear from the academy in years."--<i>Financial Times</i> Books of the Year (1998) <p/>"Precise and courageous ... Howe's book is a landmark."--Brian Appleyard, <i>Sunday Times</i> <p/>"A spirited, meticulously researched polemic ... With unrelenting energy and intellectual rigour, Howe traces the history and development of Afrocentric ideas."--Kate Teltscher, <i>Guardian</i> <p/>"Stephen Howe's candid book goes right to the heart of one of the most vexing of contemporary America's problems ... A great service for all who are interested in the intellectual study of race and racism in the US."--Caryl Phillips, <i>Financial Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stephen Howe</b> is Professor in the History and Culture of Colonialism at Bristol University.
