Join us on Nov. 13 at 5:30 p.m. for an online discussion about Ujamaa, an ideology of self-reliance, response to colonialism and attitude of mind that formed the basis of African socialism under J.K. Nyerere, Tanzania’s first president after the country’s independence.
Joseph Albert, coordinator for international programs and instructor at Loyola High School, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, will discuss the basis for this movement and how Ujamaa functions in Tanzanian society today, connecting it to Ignatian philosophy and practices.
This livestreamed talk, hosted by Detroit Mercy’s African American Studies Program, sponsored by College of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences (CHASS) and Carney Latin American Solidarity Archive (CLASA), is free and open to the university community and public. Opening reflections will be given by Fr. Charles Oduke, director of Mission Integration.
