Abstract

This paper is devoted to exposing the inherent connection with the African roots and their spiritual affinity to the African ancestors. Its main purpose is to unveil the African Americans' close attachment to the tenuous African homeland in spite of living in a racist society. It not only focuses on their challenges in a white society, but also reflects their journey to a spiritual fulfillment through the commitment to the African cosmology. In this sense, the paper makes room for the African cosmological beliefs. In other words, it is set to celebrate the deeply-rooted perspective of African spiritualties. It tackles the continual inheritance of the old traditions and spiritual beliefs that tie them to the African nature. In doing so, the present article evokes the ethics of the African community's bonding and wisdom that will exclusively be examined through the lens of Harris's ecowomanism, a theory that enhances the existence of African American women and their unique contributions in the African American environmental history.
