John K. Marah - Böcker

This book makes a critical contribution to the study of pan-Africanism and the education of African people for continental African citizenship. It is a unique endeavor in that it intersects the social history of pan-Africanism and the education of African people at a 'global' level and provides reflections from a multidisciplinary perspective on the urgency for continental pan-Africanism educational system in order to produce a more renascent African for the twenty-first century.Arguing that Pan-African Education is a mass-based educational system that will ‘craft’ a pan-African African personality, John Marah calls for integrated African school systems and curriculum changes conducive to larger social integration and institutionalized pan-African educational processes. The establishments of pan-African Teachers Colleges; intensive language institutes; pan-African literature courses; the training of African military and police forces; the use of music, sports, media and other extra-curricular activities (the hidden curriculum), etc.; are viewed as essential aspects in the socialization of a pan-African character or personality.Pan-African Education is an essential read for students and scholars of Pan-Africanism, African and Africana Studies, and Black Studies.

African People in the Global Village looks at the place of African people in the global village and the possible direction that they may follow in the future. It takes the unique stance of suggesting ways that African people may eclectically look at themselves from a global perspective to understand their present position and decide what must be accomplished to become competent players in an age of technopoly. This original examination of African people from an open-minded, multidisciplinary perspective allows for a well-rounded understanding of their situations and possible evolution within the global village.
