Black to The future

Abstract

The aim of this article is to look for common ground in the philosophies advanced by Africans in the diaspora. The Africana response to racism establishes a tradition of resistance to oppression, grounded in a philosophy of freedom. What is the meaning of being Black in the world's future? What new philosophy emerges out of Africana experience? Challenging the orthodoxy of racist ideology, this article argues that Afrocentricity allows one to embrace the divergent cultural experiences of a global village.
