  Francis, don't you contradict yourself parading the works of western trained African-Americans such as Mazama and Molefi Asante, who want to interpret the African psyche and religion when they themselves are sequestrated from their roots.? Or is it because they are high-perched and have the resources? Why not leave such work to the likes of my former lecturer Dr Kofi Asare Opoku, Dr Akonor and African-born souls who have the praxis of what they study and write about.

  Again, the white man can write many encyclopedias about our religion, as well as our African Americans, but the real epistemological underpinnings of the African religion can only be written from source and soul by only the African born, not foreign born black who is caught hanging between two worlds and looks through African affairs with tainted western glasses. Leave Kofi Asare Opoku, Akonor, Kobena Nketsiah, Ayi Kwei Armah, Anton Diop etc to teach them.

  Nana Kwarteng, there was no need for that response. These guys were confused in their critique to your erudite and insightful article. First, one person or group of persons--either the Africans at home or in the diaspora cannot alone restore the dismantled African story into its proper commentary.
  
  Second, African scholars (with afrocentric mindset) in the Diaspora and at home are in one team. They always work together throughout history. They are not on separate camps in restoring the glorious African story. They way some of your critics judged Asante and Mazama should have informed you that they have not read their works. You are doing a wonderful job. Don't allow distractions to divert your attention. God bless!
