Eurocentrism Vs. Afrocentrism. A Geopolitical Linkage Analysis

It is totally racist to suggest that Afrocentrism sometimes distorts facts and turns history into 'ethnic cheerleading' (Daley, 1990). The salient fact is that there is absolutely no need for Afrocentrism to falsify, distort, or misrepresent world history. Afrocentrism presents and deals with an authentic and specific culture and history a cultural history that did not begin in Father Europe but a human/ world history that began in Mother Africa. Indeed, the stark reality is that Eurocentrism had to and still continues to falsify, misrepresent, and distort human/world history as His-Story, HisEurocentric-Story in order to maintain European global dominance/ hegemony. Eurocentrism indeed represents a racist, divisive, ahistorical, and dysfunctional view of world history. The purpose of this article is to engage in an Afrocentric geopolitical linkage analysis of the struggle between Eurocentrism and Afrocentrism.
