Ethnocentrism : Biased cultural evaluation :: Afrocentrism : ?

Ethnocentrism is the practice of judging another culture by the standards of one's own culture, often leading to a biased evaluation of that culture. Similarly, Afrocentrism can be seen as an approach that emphasizes the importance of African culture and perspectives, often in response to the dominance of Eurocentric views. Just as ethnocentrism can lead to misunderstanding and a lack of appreciation for other cultures, Afrocentrism seeks to highlight the value and contributions of African history and culture. For example, if a person only views history through a European lens, they might overlook significant achievements of African civilizations. Thus, while ethnocentrism represents a biased view against other cultures, Afrocentrism aims to correct that bias by celebrating African heritage.
