Kwanzaa & the Nguzo Saba

About the Book

The insights and perspectives presented in this work seek to encourage and facilitate the deepest understanding and most diligent undertaking of the principles, precepts and practices of the Kwanzaa/Nguzo Saba tradition, to allow the historical-cultural-spiritual dynamics which they embody to have their greatest, transformative and liberating impact on the lives of individuals, families, communities, and nations, throughout the world-wide community of sons and daughters of Africa. “We must not allow the power and potentials of this magnificent body of African history, heritage and promise to be lost to the anti-African forces, values and practices that seek to undermine their eternal truth, beauty and goodness.” --Min. Mxolisi Ozo-Sowande
