Conclusion
Africologists may take on various interests in other fields in order to garner the data necessary for their inquiries. Interests in resources and methods from other fields in the western academy may be necessary to conduct Africological research. However, it is important to make sure that those resources and methods are approached using Afrocentric methodology or they will be no good for Africological research. It is the job of Africologists to ensure the formation and maintenance of Africological historiography is not corrupted by alien cosmology. All Africological inquiry has an inherent praxis, being the use of scholarship in order to advance the Africana World Cultural Project (AWCP), restoring the agency and sovereignty of African people worldwide. The writing of African history is also an exercise in such praxis. The implications of an Africological Historiography are wide ranging and will ensure better control over source material, discourse, and perceptions concerning African phenomena. It will also better assist in the restorative efforts of the AWCP. However, Africological Historiography will never become the dominant voice among African scholarship if it continues its arrest in the western academy. More Africologists and schools of Africology are needed throughout the African diaspora and, perhaps more importantly, on the African continent, in order to ensure our goals come to fruition.
