Document Abstract / Summary Overview

In this paper I discuss the nature of intellectual dislocation as argued in Afrocentric theory. To delineate the main contours of the critical canon of analytic Afrocentricity, I seek to establish the idea of sentinel statements as positive identifiers in the process of cultural and historical dislocation. Two narrative works—Glaude’s Exodus and Diawara’s In Search of Africa—are examined within this critical frame in order to more adequately demonstrate how the telling of the African story in America, whether from a historical or sociological standpoint, is often outside the reality of the masses of African people
