Overview

In twenty brilliant and illuminating chapters, Molefi Kete Asante explores major intellectual themes confronting African people. Engaging a wide range of issues, such as gender, African hunger, slavery in Mauritania, lack of historical consciousness, the contest over ancient Egypt, and Malcolm X as cultural hero, he sustains one overarching argument: Africans own deference to no one. This is a major book which no African intellectual anywhere in the world should be without.
