From Black Psychology to Sakhu Djaer

Abstract

This article traces the historical evolution of African (Black) psychology in the United States and outlines the main components of an African-centered psychology. The article concludes with a call for the formation of Pan African psychology founded on the notion of Spirit or Sakhu and an invitation for African (Black) psychologists to seize the global opportunity to informally and/or where advantageous formally establish a Pan African (Black) Psychology African World Federation Network.
