Question 2

After reading through the articles from Asante, West, Hooks, and Bell, I was able to get an understanding coming from various points of views. Asante's article focused on one main argument. It expressed resentment toward the European view point on African American Culture and focused on the concept of Afrocentricity. By Asante focusing on one side of the argument, I believe it made for a little harder of a read. On the other hand, West, Hooks, and Bell focused on both sides of the argument. They perceived the modern day African American culture as to be molded by both African and European cultures. I believe to fully understand an argument being made about either past or present events, it is necessary to understand both sides rather than just one.
