Dr. Molefi Kete Asante is a professor in the Department of African American Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. He is the creator of the first doctoral program in African American studies in the world, the author of over 200 scholarly articles, the founder of the Afrocentric philosophical movement and the National Afrocentric Institute.
For Molefi Kete Asante, it is not enough to claim African culture, to wear African clothes and make use of African objects and artefacts to claim Afrocentricity. This is simply Africanness. In the same way, singing gospel for an African from the Americas is cultural, habitual, familial, but should not be religious, these productions not being Afro-centered, and based on parameters independent of Africa and its values. .
