The Disciples of Diop: "DOD"

The Disciples of Diop: "DOD" Hello, welcome...
to the official page of The Disciples of Diop. A sworn follower of this intellectual school of thought is known as a "DOD" for short.

Hello, welcome...

The Disciples of Diop: DOD, Pan-African Cultural & Historical Society, is a page specially devoted towards the groundbreaking research works and unapologetic Afrocentric intellectual philosophies first pioneered and expounded upon by the late great Cheikh Anta Diop. All self-described "Afrocentrists" are truly welcome here, regardless of race, age, religious creed, gend

er identity, color, and/or sexual orientation. Please feel free to join our passionate, ever-growing Pan-African community, and contribute to the ongoing civil and productive discussion at hand. How It Works:
The founding Mission Statement of The Disciples of Diop is to "Reclaim * Restore * Revive." To this end, DODs are encouraged to join and actively participate in the official DOD Facebook group by reading and critically reviewing insightful research content from their peers relating to any of the Afrocentric themes explored within the late great Chiekh Anta Diop's groundbreaking scholarship. DOD group content that receives the highest amount of "Likes" and "Loves" will then later be reviewed by the DOD Admin for republishing on the main official DOD page. The only qualifying criteria are that the DOD research content does not violate Facebook's strict Terms of Services Agreement, and that the material is "Uploaded" into the DOD Facebook group, and not simply just "Shared" from a Third-Party source. Please note that the research material does not necessarily have to be authored by the DOD group member(s), but rather uploaded into the DOD Facebook group's Media files for permanent storage. The following extract is from his official Wikipedia entry:

"Cheikh Anta Diop (29 December 1923 – 7 February 1986) was a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist, and politician who studied the human race's origins and pre-colonial African culture. Diop's work is considered foundational to the theory of Afrocentricity, though he himself never described himself as an Afrocentrist. The questions he posed about cultural bias in scientific research contributed greatly to the postcolonial turn in the study of African civilizations. Diop argued that there was a shared cultural continuity across African people that was more important than the varied development of different ethnic groups shown by differences among languages and cultures over time. Some of his ideas have been criticized as based upon outdated sources and an outdated conception of race. Other scholars have defended his work from what they see as widespread misrepresentation. Cheikh Anta Diop University (formerly known as the University of Dakar), in Dakar, Senegal, is named after him." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheikh_Anta_Diop
