Afrocentrism is an approach to the study of world history which stresses the distinctive identity and contributions of African cultures. Afrocentrists commonly argue that Eurocentrism has led to the neglect or denial of the contributions of African people and focused instead on a generally European-centered model of world civilization and history. Therefore, Afrocentrism aims to shift the focus from a European-centered history to an African-centered history. More broadly, Afrocentrism is concerned with distinguishing the influence of European peoples from African achievements.
