Abstract

Kenneth B. Clark, whose scientific and political legacy has been the subject of controversy over the years, presented as an important model of Afrocentric scientific praxis. Key characteristics of the Afrocentric scholar are outlined. Using Clark's academic and nonacademic writings as evidence, it is argued that Clark, though complex, exemplifies these characteristics. Clark's profound yet at times obscure vision of integration and his views on the role of empathy and respect in education are presented in detail. Clark's life and work are than reexamined and recast through the lens of W.E. Cross's (1971,1991) nigrescence model and the political-historical lens of the 2-phase Black social movement. It is concluded that academicians interested in promoting diversity, particularly within the social sciences, as well as psychologists looking for models of activist praxis, examine and learn from the life and work of Clark.

摘要

多年来，肯尼斯·B·克拉克的科学和政治遗产一直是争议的焦点，他被视为以非洲为中心的科学实践的重要典范。文中概述了以非洲为中心的学者的关键特征。以克拉克的学术和非学术著作为证据，认为克拉克虽然复杂，但体现了这些特征。详细阐述了克拉克对融合的深刻但有时晦涩的愿景以及他对同理心和尊重在教育中的作用的看法。然后通过W.E.克罗斯（1971年、1991年）的黑人化模型以及两阶段黑人社会运动的政治历史视角，对克拉克的生活和工作进行重新审视和重塑。得出的结论是，对促进多样性感兴趣的学者，尤其是社会科学领域的学者，以及寻找激进实践模式的心理学家，应该审视克拉克的生活和工作并从中学习。
