ABSTRACT
One of the classic examples of Eurocentric African Departures is by a distinguished European Oxford University scholar who said the following: Undergraduates, seduced, as always, by changing breadth of journalistic fashion, demand that they should be taught the history of black Africa. Earlier, G. Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a distinguished German philosopher, thought of the position of Africans in human history along the same lines. He claimed that: The peculiarly African character is difficult to comprehend, for the very reason that in reference to it, we must quite give up the principle which naturally accompanies all our ideas – the category of Universality. Contrary to Euro-Western evangelism in the African world, it is not evident that there is one and only one philosophy of history. The racialization of Africans by Europeans marks a historic epoch in which African homelessness is set in motion.
