*Maangamizi is a Kiswahili term that means the intentional destruction and dispossession of peoplehood, nationhood and relationships to Ancestral Lands that has occurred as a result of the continuum of Afrikan chattel enslavement, colonialism and neocolonialism

Because we paid a hell of a cost
And don't really know what was lost
And the process ain't ever stopped
Akala, Maangamizi
