Towards Subjectivity A Paradigm Shift to “Identity” in Sub-Saharan Context Authors

Abstract

This article examines the ambiguity facing contemporary sub-Saharan African society. It explores the traditional Africa community, which had values embedded but that are now disintegrating. Communities have turned into primarily one symbols of identification and refuge without adding many values and meaning. Some individuals (as I sight from a context I understand—Kenya) have held their communities for their own personal and selfish gains, mostly for politics and when accused of corruption. On political, social, religious, and ecological matters, and in terms of a societal way forward, this article explores individuality within the community.
