Hey, I spent a quarter in "Ujama" (its actually spelled Ujamaa). Only half the residents are African-American. It was like a carrier flight deck in one way--- it was loud!
And what does Ujuama mean? Collectivism!!
The concept of Ujamaa is an African form of collectivism in living. Explicitly, "Ujamaa" means collective economics and is from the Swahili word "Jamaa", meaning family. Only through Ujamaa - family - do we find the oneness with others like us that is necessary for us to grow to our full individual potentials. Only through Ujamaa - collectivism - will we find the strength to overcome. And only through Jamaa - family - can we find expression for our ideas, culture, and uniqueness that will endure beyond our brief passage in life.
