Book excerpt: Molefi Kete Asante, one of the major Afrocentric thinkers, argues in this book that the African narrative based on African cultural values could underpin a new academic paradigm, which is brutally necessary. The problem is the degree to which Africans have become enamored through Greek, English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese with Westernity to the detriment of African ideas and ideals. Only in the re-centering of the African World in its own narrative subjectivity can true freedom of thought, innovation, and liberation exist as a way to enhance human knowledge. The Pan European Academy with all of its structural capital amassed over the centuries and enshrined in the educational systems of Africans has continued to dominate the theoretical base of African inquiries. The Precarious Center, or When will the African Narrative Hold, is a response to the dangers of a rampant racist ideology. It advances an African value quest in the discourse of humanity.
