Institutional racism has had a major impact on the development of African American selfesteem and group identity. Through the years, African Americans have developed strong, tenacious concepts of self partially based on African cultural and philosophical retentions and as a reaction to historical injustices. The Concept of Self examines the historical basis for the widely misunderstood ideas of how African Americans think of themselves individually, and how they relate to being part of a group that has been subjected to challenges of their very humanity.Richard Allen examines past scholarship on African American identity to explore a wide range of issues leading to the formation of an individual and collective sense of self. Allen traces the significance of social forces that have impinged on the lives of African Americans and points to the uniqueness of their position in American society. He then focuses on the results from the National Survey of Black Americansa national survey of African Americans on a wide range of political, social, and psychological issuesto develop a model of African self. Allen explores the idea of doubleconsciousness as put forth by W.E.B. DuBois against the more recent debates of Afrocentricity or an Africancentered consciousness. He proposes a set of interrelated hypotheses regarding how African Americans might use an African worldview for the upliftment of Africans in the Diaspora.The Concept of Self will interest students and scholars of African American studies, sociology and population studies.
