Afrocentricity and the Argument for Civic Commitment: Ideology and Citizenship in a United States of Africa

---

This article discusses an ideological framework, that is, a superstructure for continental civic commitment to African nationalism based on the perceived and practical relationships of Africans with each other. In an attempt to minimize the threats of regional, religious, or ethnic obstacles to continental integration and civic commitment to the continent, the author proposes both intellectual and pragmatic steps for continental integration. Using concrete examples, as well as generative source philosophies, myths, and traditional proverbs as fundamentals for the creation of a new ethic of politics, this article seeks to advance a deeper perspective on continental citizenship.
