2020: Vol 1-2
UHURU is dedicated to all Africans in love with their continent, to the African diaspora seeking to understand the inextricable threads of their identity, to those willing to learn more and to the Mother continent that we all cherish.
In trying to understand the theme (Africa Now), our team stumbled upon an academic, literary and artistic treasure taking us on a tour of the continent from Morocco to South Africa and from Ghana to Kenya. The multiple subjects pay close attention to the dynamics of the continent in a freedom of tone, style and academic or non-academic form.
In 2020, Africans continue to build the threads that weave the beauty of the multifaceted continent. In 2020, students continue to rethink the continent's past, its effect on the present and the challenges facing its future. In 2020, Africa, riddled with legacies of a heavy past (still affecting contemporary societies), is this journal’s focus as a reminder that freedom still needs restoration. In 2020, students continually pave the way to a truer understanding of Africa.
UHURU, freedom in Swahili, reminds us that the future is played out in the mind and that the words we attribute give meaning to them and that producing decolonized, nuanced and balanced knowledge is a key to educate about Africa, recognizing its beauty and its challenges and where they come from. In this edition, we emphasize that the key to liberty, the essence of being able to re-think Africa and its issues, is the most powerful tool, knowledge.
