[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] The origins of the term "Afrocentrism" date to 1961 or 1962. The term "Afrocentric" appears in a typescript proposal for an Encyclopedia Africana. W. E. B. Du Bois may have been responsible for inserting the word. However the most influential Afrocentric text prior to this naming is Stolen Legacy, George G. M. James. (influenced by Marcus Garvey) One of James" principal sources was a book called The Ancient Mysteries and Modern Masonry (1909) by the Rev. Charles H. Vail, which also goes back to a book called Sethos, a History or Biography, based on Unpublished Memoirs of Ancient Egypt (1731) by the Abbé Jean Terrasson (1670-1750),a professor of Greek. alTakruri tries to make Afrocentricity seem as if it were a product of Universities. In fact it was a reaction to the traditional academia. Later with Asante it became a part of the university system. [/qb][/QUOTE]100% Co-sign If you read Drusilla Dundee Houstons, Wonderful Ethiopians, you see that the type of claims that would become characteristic of Afrocentism later on predate the 60s. It's available on the web. Don't post excerpts though, quite a few wordsmiths here will not hestitate to flip things around and find a way to make it defend Afrocentricity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
