Azibo's Metatheory of African Personality: A Holistic, Evolutionary, African-centered, Racial Theory with Quantitative Research and Case Study Support (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798333519771)

Azibo's Metatheory of African Personality should be at the heart of all efforts to set afoot in the 2020s the new African person. It is a deep dive providing concepts, definitions and strategies for fixing the mental maladies set upon African descent people (ADP) globally. It actually provides an answer to the African-U.S. colloquial quip "What's your major maladjustment?" This book is a no holds barred, no tiptoeing appraisal of existing formulations about ADP's personality inclusive of racial identity and psychological Africanity/psychological Blackness. Dr. Azibo's own theory and research are highlighted. A few takeaways are:

• Location in African-centered worldview/asili/cultural deep structure
• Meshing the philosophy of African personhood, "Black" racial identity theory, and African personality theory in a single all-encompassing model
• Dr. Azibo's theory as a metatheory which best organizes all other theories on the topic
• Distinction between racially phylogenetic versus individual ontogenetic aspects of personality and how they work together within the individual
• Plumbing the biogenetic base of personality as situated in spiritual energy

• Explanation of contradictions in African personality/psychological functioning as inherent potentialities
• Provision of African-centered nomenclature and definitions for personality, mental health and associated psychological phenomena
• Demystification and explanation of the multidimensionality zeitgeist in the racial identity literature
• Explanation of when racial identity progression is actually racial identity regression
• Explanation of the impossibility of construct validity for regnant racial identity models of ADP
