Abstract More often than not, academics of African descent—from the continent, the diaspora, or other parts of the world—have been trained in Western and Middle Eastern-oriented disciplines that espouse the race paradigm. Imbued with race theory, they seek spiritual, social, and political solutions to critical race issues, in some cases unwittingly maintaining the cultural structure of the dominant group from which the construct arises. This article highlights the creation of race and race identity by European, Indo-Aryan (white), and Middle Eastern (Semitic) men and women, sanctified by religious ideals that advanced their societies and stigmatised Africans, based on the melanin content of their skin. In these cultural orientations, the blackest-skinned women, men, and children are devalued, debased, and demonised. Race is used as a cultural strategy for fabricating human history and distinctions, shaping thinking, behaviours, and exploits that continue to have deleterious, far-reaching consequences for dark-skinned people across the world. In the light of this critical dilemma, and from an Afrocentric perspective, this article interrogates whether Black academicians in non-African and African cultures can shed the cultural constraints of race as identity, and understand the development of cultural identity as the basis of more progressive ideas regarding humanity.

重新审视种族：反对具有重大意义的文化建设

摘要 通常，来自非洲大陆、散居国外或世界其他地区的非洲裔学者接受过支持种族范式的西方和中东学科的培训。受种族理论的影响，他们寻求对关键种族问题的精神、社会和政治解决方案，在某些情况下，他们在不知不觉中维持了构成这一概念的主导群体的文化结构。本文重点介绍了欧洲、印度-雅利安（白人）和中东（闪族）男性和女性创造的种族和种族认同，这些人被宗教理想所神圣化，这些理想推动了他们的社会并污蔑了非洲人，基于他们皮肤的黑色素含量. 在这些文化取向中，最黑皮肤的女人、男人和儿童被贬低、贬低和妖魔化。种族被用作一种文化策略，用于编造人类历史和差异，塑造思想、行为和剥削，这些思想、行为和剥削继续对世界各地的黑皮肤人群产生有害而深远的影响。鉴于这一关键困境，并从非洲中心主义的角度，本文探讨了非非洲和非洲文化中的黑人院士能否摆脱种族作为身份的文化约束，并将文化身份的发展理解为更进步的基础。关于人性的想法。
