Perspective consists of two significant measures in the African Continent. The first perspective being Africa’s historical phenomenon in which the story is generated. The concept of Africa consists of the experiences of descent within the three continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe. The idea also focuses on the continent’s regional groupings and inclusive Africa’s diversified cultures. The second perspective focuses on understanding and interpreting world occurrences with the inclusion of the East and West values. The perspective provides a hierarchy of the humanistic values that have the histories that can be followed up to the African origins. Africa America Centered aim is to simplify the consequence of allocating an Africa view while identifying all elements of African American history. In this case, African viewed the perspective of history effectively, and thus, automatically became a Centered perspective of African American history.
Consequently, African American classified history into two historical perspectives which include; the totality of all events that have passed among the people and reconstructed events by researchers,’ specialists, and other scholars.’ The totality of all events that has passed among the people entails their economic activities, political, Nina 2 social and their culture can easily be manipulated to cause consciousness or at the same time fail to be passed altogether. On the other hand, reconstructed past events by scholars and researchers are usually processed and passed from one generation to another. The sequence repeats itself frequently in a cyclical pattern. The African Centered Perspective The concept of African centred perspective is used to conduct an in-depth study on the African contribution to the global scholarship on cultures and interactions.
The idea focuses on revealing an informative and insightful history of the African descendants and perspectives. African centred perspectives further introduce the concept of social science, which comprises theories and practices of science, traditions, and research. The term is derived from science, which implies knowledge, and therefore, social science consists of the history of the natural sciences. John Lukacs describes this knowledge from social science as having clusters of understanding. John uses an example that ‘the knowledge that people have on others is not as accurate as of that which people have on animals, minerals, and vegetation.’ John Lukacs revealed that the knowledge that we have on being is to enable us to understand the being to achieve ascertained being. Social sciences help in the reconstruction of the radical overdue.
The interaction between social sciences and history enables the African centred perspective to open new ground that focuses on formulating and application of social sciences in a manner that it re-organizes the understanding and knowledge about people or the natural environment. The idea of African Centered Perspective focuses on demonstrating the geographical concept of African languages and cultures. The concept focuses on the world’s molds and specifically on Europe, which is the epitome of descents. The idea includes studying the Nina 3 global cultures with Europe and other regions included. African Centered Perspective emphasizes that the individuals who transform to control the resources either politically or economically dominate the interest of the Nations status quo. African Centered Perspective holds that the English language is the contemporary concept that focuses on the language of Western Europe. The idea further incorporates the Non-Hegemonic Europe Centered Perspective, which is non-imperial within it and thus implies the practical science of carrying out Europe research. On the other hand, William in 1980, in his discussion on the universal tragedy, revealed that the Capitalist in the modern institutions considers logic as an endless growth.
The capitalists in this quest have the motive to take control of future resources and economic growth; however, the time was unpredictable. African-American centred Perspective of History Consequently, the African American centred history as recorded by scholars and historians apply an African centred perspective. The reason for employing the perspective is because, African perspective used to claim and restore balance in narrated stories about world history since no one else could be as consistent as the African centred researchers, historians, and scholars. Therefore, maintaining the balance while reconstructing and documenting their ideas of world human sacrifice and struggle for justice and humanization. According to Stono (1739), he emphasized that South California is a practical and excellent example of the revolutionary initiative found in Africa.
On the other hand, in southern California, after Angola trying to revolt from enslavement, the pro-enslavement department banned the use of drums since drums signified the African mode of communication. However, most white could not understand the message in a colony that had registered the majority of people who Nina 4 used drums to communicate as Africans enslaved at the period of the American Revolution and specifically in South Carolina. Consequently, when it was identified that the first African American Alabamians, Marylander, Floridians’ and Virginians were African Americans who influenced people not to believe in delusions and myths. Scholars were able to capture their relationship with the African Utility centred perspective, which incorporated changes among an African American creative contribution. Later on, they recognized that the main problem of the American perspective of history as previously taught in history.
Consequently, African Americans were at the place of development, which denied the same significant duty of African Americans. In response, Americans at the peak of the early culture and history alignment of American and African social experience and experiment. An African American entered perspective does not reject the process of ‘becoming America,’ which involves different social novels and dynamics of culture with the new performance that will offer the foundation for ongoing and active research into the near future. Therefore, An African centred approach to American history from the African region with an extensive history of Africa and then show how during historical error, the economy in enslaved African significantly affected African by general elimination of people in all cultures and social dynamics.
Adichie discovered that African culture is based on diverse narratives, and therefore, people should not just base their arguments on one side of a story they hear on another person. Adichie narrates that Fide came from a poor background; however, she was shocked to observe the beautiful basket that was made by Fidel’s brother when she paid a visit to Fide’s family. Adichie’s American roommate had a single story of Africa in which she believed that she had nothing similar to Africans, and that, to her, was something impossible. Nina 5 Adichie narrates that if she could not have grown up in Africa, she could have supported the claim Africa had beautiful landscapes, people, poverty, animals, AIDS, and perpetual wars. Adichie narrates that the origin of the single story of Africa began to wither roommate when she described Africa not to be having any similarity with her. Her roommate pity Africans and don’t relate Africans with complex beings.
John Locke’s writing about Africa was significant on the premise that he emphasized the empirical approaches that were used in the scientific revolution. In his writings, he condemns the grabbing of a property that you don’t own. Adichie’s professor denied the fact that her novel was authentically African on the premise that characters in the novel were not picked from Africa. Adichie describes Mexicans as people who are addicted to drug use and trafficking, and thus, lacks moral standards. Adichie’s position of creating a single story delves around the stereotypes that are not true with that which is incomplete. The two stereotypes influence making one narrative to become the only story. Nigerian writer Adichie in the video emphasized that stories are explained by the principle of’ Nkali’ power.
She meant that stories are always narrated by those in power since they can shape the truth and its impressions. Consequently, in her video, Adichie defined power as the ability of a person not only to share narrative but also to make whole stories of another person. On the other hand, the most straightforward idea to expose people through the narrative is by globalization, colonialism, and culture misperception. However, the single narrative brought about stereotypes and the challenges within it and not that they are unbelievable, but that they are not complete and thus make single-story the only narrative. Adichie, when the single story is rejected, exposes the country and culture at risk causing critical misunderstanding. In conclusion, Adichie emphasized that if the only one hears about Nina 6 a place, people or circumstances from one source are risking getting a full understanding of the whole story.
Conclusion
Africa centred framework is significant in context that it paves ways for the corrective historical insights that focus on examining the globe as social phenomenon incorporation with the African continent, which is the cradle of man and human culture. The contrasting of an African American centred perception and an American perspective to explain why the history of Americans experience all the interpretations of why ‘American dream of freedom’ for European and an’ American nightmare of enslavement for African.’
