SUMMARY:
The African legacy is returning to its heirs. The African Renaissance is a central element in this process. The Senegalese Cheikh Anta Diop, through his research, highlighted African contributions to humanity and proved that the Greeks were in Kemet (Ancient Egypt), where they learned what they later called Greek philosophy. A dynamic was established between the theft of the legacy, the enslavement of Africans, and their dehumanization. Confronting the legacies of enslavement includes reclaiming the legacy and developing historical consciousness. The Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung visited Africa and made extensive references to it in his work. He drew on alchemy, gnosis, and spirituality. There are points of convergence between the lives and works of Diop and Jung that can help people of African descent on their journey back to the mother continent. Diop created the two-cradle theory, specifying the matriarchal foundations of Africa. In Kemet, spirituality was related to women, who were free and had the power to choose their own lives. Enslaved women were subordinated by patriarchy, yet they continued to fight and challenge the prevailing order. Currently, there is a renewed demand for the African legacy, which is strengthening the African Renaissance. Kasa de Maat and the Sankofa Institute of Psychology and Education are two very active institutions in this movement. Although far from ideal, psychology has made strides toward opening up space for spirituality and the racial issue within it. Progress toward Afrocentric praxis is also necessary. In addition, it is essential that African spirituality be incorporated into public health policies. An important aspect of the African ancestral legacy is craftsmanship and its relationship with creativity, resilience, and mental health.
