From the Invisible to the Visible
African womanist theory as Afrocentric theory explains its principles and objective in listing the important works of the first women who graduated with Africological PhDs from the first department of African American Studies, who built upon and disseminated Afrocentric metatheory created by Molefi Kete Asante, across the world
Race Revisited
More often than not, academics of African descent—from the continent, the diaspora, or other parts of the world—have been trained in Western and Middle Eastern-oriented disciplines that espouse the race paradigm. Imbued with race theory, they seek spiritual, social, and political solutions to critical race issues, in some cases unwittingly maintaining the cultural structure of the dominant group from which the construct arises. This article highl…
A Return to Traditional Health Care Practices
Policy on implementing Western medical practices throughout Africa has led a sustained attack on the relevance of traditional medical practices. The findings of the study on child upbringing practices in some Ghanaian communities emphasize the importance of increasing traditional practices and ethics. The majority of rural people in the study had little or no access to Western health care, nor did they have the finances to use it. Findings showed…
Defining a Mother-Centered Matrix to Analyze the Status of Women
This article focuses on the significance of mother-centeredness to state development. Modern Africa is faced with the imposition of Western states that are fundamentally male-centered and antithetical to the well-being of Africa and her people and, for that matter, all humanity. Defining the Mother-Centered Matrix that underpinned the development of Kemet challenges the belief that the United States and other modern states are necessarily progres…
African Womanism
This article evolves from my study (see Dove, 1993, 1996) of the life herstories2 of African mothers who send their children to culturally affirming schools. I focus on conceptualizing and defining the racialization of the world through European domination/White supremacy. In doing this work, I find it impossible to ignore the specificity of the oppression of African women living in male-centered Western society. My original study included 21 her…
Education and Culture
From an African-centered perspective it has been observed that in Western-oriented societies, schooling is used as a site for inculcating values and beliefs antithetical to the well-being of African children. In this way, African energies and resources are more easily controlled to accommodate European interests. As bearers of culture, African mothers have herstorically provided the unrecognized leadership toward resisting this condition and ther…

The Emergence of Black Supplementary Schools
The author believes that the schooling of Africans in European-centered "educational" institutions is a method of subjugation. It relies on subverting creative human potential through misinformation about who and what we are. We are taught ways of seeing and being that are not conducive to our physical and mental well-being. As culturally influenced institutions, European-centered schools play a major role in maintaining control of interests on a…
