Africological Historiography is scholarship dedicated to the
preservation of African cosmology in the telling of African history.
Such an historiography also serves as a means to tease out the agency of
African people in any circumstance of marginality, misinterpretation,
suppression, and omission of said historical agency. For the purposes of
developing Africological Historiography, Africologists may take on
various interests in other fields in order to garner the data necessary
for their inquiries. However, it is important to make sure that the data
garnered from other disciplines are approached using Afrocentric
methodology or they will be no good for Africological research. In this
article, I explore the benefits and dangers of other fields of
interests, the dangers of Eurocentric theoretical models, afrophobic
historiographies, and the inherent praxis of the discipline in its use
for producing Africological Historiography. These are primary
considerations for Africologists in the presentation of African history.
