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 2020, Africans continue to build the threads that weave the beauty of the multifaceted continent. 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 and nuanced knowledge is a key to educating and recognizing Africa's beauty and its challenges. In this edition (themed Africa Now), we emphasize that the key to liberty, the essence of being able to rethink Africa and its issues, is knowledge.
