Maulana Karenga : an intellectual portrait
In this book, the most prolific contemporary African American scholar and cultural theorist Molefi Kete Asante leads the reader on an informative journey through the mind of Maulana Karenga, one of the key cultural philosophers of our tune. Not only is Karenga the creator of Kwanzaa, an extensive and widespread celebratory holiday based on his philosophy of Kawaida, he is an activist-scholar committed to a #x93;dignity-affirming#x94; life for all human beings. Asante examines the sources of Karenga's intellectual preoccupations and demonstrates that his concerns with the liberation narratives and mythic realities of African people are rooted in the best interests of a collective humanity
