A View from the East

Více o knize

Focusing on the historical significance of The East, this second edition delves into its role within the African American civil rights and Black Power movements. Central to The East was Uhuru Sasa Shule, an African-centered school promoting self-reliance through Kawaida philosophy. The venue also flourished as a cultural hub, hosting jazz artists and literary events. Kwasi Konadu enriches the narrative with extensive interviews and archival research, illuminating the interplay of cultural nationalism, education, and the arts, while offering valuable insights for future community initiatives.
