Page "Afrocentrism" Paragraph 18

In 1996 the historian August Meier critically reviewed the new work of Mary Lefkowitz on Afrocentrism as " Eurocentric ".

He criticized her book Not out of Africa: How Afrocentrism became an Excuse to Teach Myth as History for what he saw as her neglect of the African-American historic literature of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Meier believes she fails to take the African-American experiences into account, to the extent that she " fails to answer the question raised in this book's subtitle ".
