Preferred term

African American Studies at Temple University  

Definition

  • For 4 years, from 1997 to 2001, an ideological struggle was waged over the philosophical direction of the Department of African American Studies (DAAS) at Temple University (TU) in Philadelphia. The department had gained national and international fame in the late 1980s for its Afrocentric orientation, as well as for being the first program in the country to grant a Ph.D. in African American Studies (AAS), under the leadership of Molefi Kete Asante, the founder of the Afrocentric paradigm.
