Afrocentric refers to a perspective that centers African culture, history, and experiences in understanding the world. It emphasizes the importance of African contributions to civilization and seeks to challenge Eurocentric narratives that often dominate historical discourse. This approach encourages a deeper appreciation of African heritage and its influence on global culture. In education, Afrocentric curricula aim to include African history, literature, and art, promoting a more balanced view of history. Key figures in the Afrocentric movement include scholars like Molefi Kete Asante and Marimba Ani, who advocate for the recognition of African identity and the significance of African philosophies in shaping contemporary society.
