Definition of Egyptphobia

[Emeagwali, Gloria (History)]

Egyptphobia is a form of intellectual paralysis and dementia that creates fear and self - loathing, and encourages the abdication of research responsibilities into ancient African developmental models. This mental condition may be driven by micro-nationalism, religious fundamentalism, and in some cases an inordinate passion to placate the forces of Eurocentric propaganda.
