Evidence

Retrojection is the method by which ethnophilosophy alters and disfigures traditional reality by secretly introducing at the descriptive onset present-day values and ideas which can be considered completely alien to Africa, rediscovering them in a militant profession of faith, “authenticated in terms of their so-called Africanity.” — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 546
