Subject: Meaning of Swahili (?) word?


Greetings, All!

Can anyone tell me the meaning of the word "Harambe"? It's the title of the
final chapter of Ngugi wa Thiong'o's --A Grain of Wheat--. I ought to know
this--it's a word that, like Uhuru, has passed into a broader "Third World" and
nationalist usage outside Africa.

Thanks for your help,

Josna
