Definition

  • The concept of dislocation was first advanced by Molefi Asante as a critical conceptual component of the Afrocentric Theory in the 1980s, and it was further developed in the 1990s. According to the Afrocentric Theory, each ethnic group occupies a particular space, based on its history, culture, and biology. [Source: Encyclopedia of Black Studies; Dislocation]
