Having critiqued Western “professional helping” systems for their universalism, authoritarianism, and unacknowledged white supremacy in the previous two chapters, Berry turns to the rise in the late twentieth century of Afrocentric thought on the African continent and in Diaspora communities. After providing a survey of key African philosophers and Afrocentric thinkers (including Na’im Akbar, Chiekh Anta Diop, Wade Nobles, Molefi Kete Asante, and Andrew Browder) and their contributions to her thinking about what Indigenous African-centered approaches to healing might look like, Berry argues that an overreliance on Western models of care is harmful, and that an Indigenous African-centered approach to care must “turn inward” to find its own resources. Berry illustrates this argument by providing an account of her experiences exploring alternatives to mainstream Western care, including through Social Therapy. While she concludes that Social Therapy provided an inadequate model for care, her experience with it sharpened her sense of the importance of Indigenous African-centered thinking in charting a way forward.
