The Maafa

 

The term "Maafa" (from the book, "Let The Circle Be Unbroken", by Dr. Marimba Ani) is a kiswahili word for "disaster" that we are now using to reclaim our right to tell our own story. Maafa refers to the enslavement of our people and to the sustained attempt to dehumanize us. Because the Maafa has disconnected us from our cultural origins, we have remained vulnerable in a social order that does not reflect our cultural identity.
