African-American Studies (Afrocentricity)
Afrocentricity and Afrocentrism
Afrocentricity is the academic approach to scholarship that is centered around the experiences of
African people and the people of the African diaspora, relative to their own historical, cultural, and
sociological heritage.
Afrocentrism seeks to counter the mistakes and ideas which were perpetuated by the racist philosophical underpinnings
of Western academic disciplines as they developed during and since Europe's Early Renaissance. Such rationales were used to
justify the enslavement of other peoples. In order to enable a more accurate account of the African people, as well as all
people, we need to take a better look into the contributions the African people to world history.
The central topic of 'Afrocentricity: The Theory of Social Change', mandates that Africans be
viewed as subjects rather than objects. When looked to correctly, this philosophy, ethos, and world view
gives Africans a better understanding of how to interpret issues affecting their communities. History, psychology,
sociology, literature, economics, and education should be explored through the minds (thinking) of Dr. King, Du Bois,
Malcolm X, Garvey and many other great thinkers of African heritage who provided breakthrough strategies for social change.

Afrocentricity and the African American Experiences The beginnings of modern Afrocentric scholarship can be found in the work of African-American and
Caribbean intellectuals early in the twentieth century. Publications such as The Crisis and the Journal of Negro History sought to counter the
prevailing view in the West that Africa had contributed nothing of value to human history that was not the result of incursions by Europeans and Arabs.

Edenic people, African Americans people of the Bible African Americans are a special people because Africa is the original Eden. Therefore, Africans and African Americans are Edenic people. African
Edenic peoples are the progenitors of the human race. The feasts of Israel were saturated with Edenic symbolism, as God's People celebrated the bounty of God's provision and enjoyed the
fullness of life. The Edenic way of living would allow people to completely feed themselves from the land that they live on, while eating the freshest organic foods. People, food, and the
earth can strengthen each other, work in harmony, and promote life. Being Edenic means you are the original man, remnants of a pre-Sumerian people - the African/Edenic people were the
torch-bearers of civilization.

African Mud Cloth Traditionally, African mudcloth sheets are handwoven one sheet at a time. The African artisans hand-dye the symbols into these fabrics so as to tell stories about their villages and African proverbs. Thus, no two pieces of mud cloth are exactly alike. Therefore, the colors shown are available, but the exact patterns vary from one piece to the next. Mud Cloth is great for clothing, home decoration, crafts and other creative pursuits.

Black Indians and Trail of Tears My primary interest in this writing about the Black Seminoles is due to my family heritage being of African Hebrew, Spanish Jew, Gullah, and Muscogee (Creek) ancestry. Throughout my website, I seek to build a sense of Prosperity Consciousness - the act of building a holistic mindset for repairing the world (Tikkun Olam). It is extremely important to build a sense of family unity with our ancestry. As "Holistic Mindset" means - Emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts; The best way I know to do so (repairing the world), is to learn and express our common or shared history.
