Asante's book Kemet, Afrocentricity, and
Knowledge continues his project of forging a new discipline out of the many
strands of Black Studies. Like his previous works, this is a profound statement
of the Afrocentric perspective.

American Studies, Temple University.
This volume is a joy to read. It is
accessible to anyone because of its richly textured images, ideas, and concepts.
It is filled with intellectual allusions and rare insight into African culture.
I find this book truly refreshing.
Nilgun Anadolu Okur, Ph.D., American Studies, Izmir University, Turkey.
This book addresses the most important
theoretical and methodological questions facing the discipline of African
Studies. Asante's point is that Africology is discipline, not a group of courses
related only their subject matter. He makes a phenomenal advance in our
conceptualization.
