Kwanzaa is a celebratory period of seven days from December 26 -
January 1 that acknowledges spirit, the ancestors, and seven
principles for living more harmoniously in a ritual that is popular
with many African Americans. It celebrates certain values to be
embraced by the community, the family, and the individual to help
create better, more productive, and fulfilled lives. Although the
African American community is small in the Hawaiian Islands,
resident groups of African Americans and their friends and families
gather together in a tradition to celebrate the 7 principles of
Kwanzaa at the end of each year. The principles are: umoja, ujima,
ujamaa, kujuchagulia, nia, kuumba, and imani. Dr. Ayin Adams has
put together this delightfully creative and informative book to
share the philosophical values, cultural poetry, recipes, and
photographs of the unique beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and
enhance the meaning, scope, depth, and intimate ritual of Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa in Hawaii is a wonderful book for children and adults, for
people of all races and cultures, genders and abilities, to
encourage the conscious instillation of values to live by in order
to strengthen one's personal and collective lives. A unique
presentation The everlasting dream of the mother land of the
ancestors, for most exist in virtual reality, as a scent, a rhythm,
a beat, a song, a dance, and as a fascination. Without ever having
put foot on Africa's soil Adams' voice rings the call of Mama
Africa to love and worship her as her children living in the global
Diaspora. Adams' poetry resonates all of this, in beautiful phrases
and metaphors. Most of all, Adams captures the heritage - that
special gift - expressed in simple words 'Hawaii, you see/ is
Africa to me'. Adams articulates that there is acceptance wherever
you live and that you carry your heritage and identity deep within
you, always, as a treasure to cherish, and with pride and dignity
