[Shapiro, Fred]

Afrocentric (OED 1966)

1963 _Muhammad Speaks_ 18 Frb. 11/1 (JSTOR)  "Encyclopedia Africana" must be unashamedly Afrocentric but not indifferent to the impact of the outside world upon Africa, or to the impact of Africa upon the outside world." ... So concluded the Secretariat for the Encyclopedia Africana.
