Afrocentricity is a paradigm based on the idea that African people should reassert
a sense of agency in order to achieve sanity. During the l960s a group of African
American intellectuals in the newly-formed Black Studies departments at universities
began to formulate novel ways of analyzing information. In some cases, these new
ways were called looking at information from “a black perspective” as opposed to what
had been considered the “white perspective” of most information in the American
academy.
