“Ujima refers to collective work and responsibility. The Bantu word focuses on a shared work ethic and a spirit of collective responsibility. The Kwanzaa principle seeks to repair any damage to the black work ethic which slavery, colonialism and centuries of racism might have inflicted. Collective responsibility is also therapeutic for any form of dependency generated by subjugation.” Linguistic Dilemmas of Afrocentricity | The Diaspora Experience [Social/Political Movements]
