The Theoretical and Methodological Crisis of the Afrocentric Conception.
Banks, W. Curtis
Journal of Negro Education, v61 n3 p262-72 Sum 1992
Defines the theory of the Afrocentric conception, and comments on Afrocentric research methodology. The Afrocentric conception is likely to succeed if it constructs a particularist theory in contrast to cross-cultural relativism and because it relies on the methodology of the absolute rather than the comparative.
