SUMMARY
"The real problem with Afrocentrism, Lefkowitz concludes, is not that its 'truths' about Greece and Egypt are false. More dangerous is the underlying attitude that all history is fiction, which can be manipulated at will for political ends. The enthronement of this view on campus, Lefkowitz warns, means the death of academic discourse as we know it. Sadly, that seems to be happening. Better for all if 'Not Out of Africa' stirs an equally fierce--and fair--polemic from the other side.Lefkowitz, Mary is the author of 'Not Out of Africa How Afrocentrism Became an Excuse to Teach Myth As History', published 1997 under ISBN 9780465098385 and ISBN 046509838X.
