Branches of Asanteism

An extraordinary scholar has written on Molefi Asante—the most prominent Afro-centric scholar in the world—elucidating the impact of the multiple knowledges that emerged around his work and legacy. This is a rewarding book that will facilitate engagement with a critical paradigm in the study of Africa. It offers deep understanding of African people and the urgency of situating their realities and struggles within epistemologies tied to power structures. -- Toyin Falola, University of Texas at Austin
Branches of Asanteism is the first of its kind, an exhaustive resource for research education. An enormous undertaking that covers thirteen salient epistemologies and research methodologies, Abdul Bangura delivers to readers in-depth definitions and analyses of some of the following: Afrocentricity, Asiacentric, Afrocentric Feminist Epistemology, Ethnic Studies, Afrenaissance, Ubuntugogy, and African Mathematization. Regardless of your world view, Branches of Asanteism is a treasure trove and a must-read and must-have gift for educators, students, and scholars. -- Onimi Wilcox, Lee College
