Lefkowitz and the Afrocentric question
Article Abstract:
Mary Lefkowitz disagrees with Martin Bernal's theory that Greek culture actually came from Egypt. She writes in her book, 'Not Out of Africa: How Afrocentrism Became an Excuse to Teach Myth as History,' that it is a fallacy that Greek civilization came from Africa and specifically from Egypt. She argues that this myth should not be taught in schools as part of history. Her book not only refutes this misconception but describes the conflict between academic freedom and political correctness.
