Beskrivning

Kwame Nkrumah’s Political Kingdom and Pan-Africanism ReInterpreted, 1909-1972 provides an in-depth study of the life of the late Pan-African leader from the former Gold Coast, Kwame Nkrumah. Authors A.B. Assensoh and Yvette M. Alex-Assensoh analyze Nkrumah’s life from his birth on the Gold Coast through his studies in the United Kingdom and the United States, his activism and political life, and his exile and death. Throughout, Assensoh and Alex-Assensoh present a twenty-first-century reinterpretation of Nkrumah’s Pan-Africanist views in the context of Black unity as well as Black liberation within the African continent and the United States and Caribbean diaspora.

Recensioner i media

Indeed, Professors Assensoh and Alex-Assensoh have written a book that creatively combines a fresh intellectual biography of Kwame Nkrumah with the genealogical history of Pan-Africanism, and they have done so in the most concise and comprehensive way. Above all, it is also a timely contribution to African History, Pan-African Studies and Africana Studies in general.
