If you've ever felt that official definitions of "community" don't match what community actually feels like, this book is for you.
What does it mean to belong? Not just to have a place to live, but to truly belong-to a community, a tradition, a way of life?
Domicile and Community is Volume 1 of A Pan-African Guide for Our People, written by Dr. Tracy L. Johnson and edited by Dr. Xavia Burton.
This volume explores a core African value: we are who we are because of our relationships with others.
This isn't abstract philosophy. It's about home-not just as a physical space, but as the web of relationships that shape who we are.
Combining scholarly research with lived experience, Domicile and Community offers a way to understand how we create belonging and what happens when that sense of belonging is broken.
