Samuel Snyderman is a proud PhD student in the Africology and African American Studies department. He understands and utilizes Afrocentric methodology to critique Arab, European, and American historical ideas about Africans on the continent and in the diaspora. Samuel received his B.A. from Temple University in History with minor in Arabic Language and Culture. Upon reaching for higher meaning to history, opposed a popular or liberal historical narrative, led him to Africology for his M.A., and now Ph.D. Samuel currently concentrates on Ancient African (Egyptian) language and culture, and Afrocentric Location analysis of African authors' connection to Western history and philosophic hegemony to see how they reflected or transcended it in their writing.
