Dr. Molefi Kete Asante

Afrocentricity: Agency, Knowledge, and Liberation

Central inquiry: How does Asante connect cultural location, the production of knowledge, and African agency across his published writings?

Students analyze Asante’s arguments through brief attributed excerpts and source-specific paraphrases, compare his concepts across four publications, and develop an evidence-based scholarly response.

Three separate PDFs included

• 13-page student RST organized across five instructional days, with standards connections, Do Now and Quick Write tasks, and interdisciplinary inquiry.
• 15 multiple-choice assessment questions, five per page.
• Two full RACE response pages with 47 ruled writing lines for Restate, Answer, Cite, and Explain.
• Separate Teacher Notes and Answer Key, plus a separate Teacher Guide.

Published scholarship studied

• Kemet, Afrocentricity, and Knowledge (1990)
• Afrocentricity: Notes on a Disciplinary Position (2006)
• An Afrocentric Manifesto (2007)
• Afrocentricity: Opening the African Mouth and Mind (2025)

Questions ask students to distinguish cultural location from biological classification, examine knowledge production, analyze agency, and support conclusions with evidence from the readings.
