Publisher Description: Drawing on the published works, correspondence and speeches of Kwame Nkrumah, as well as on contemporary press reportage during Nkrumah's final months in Ghana, Doreatha Mbalia offers a view of the theory and practice of the visionary proponent of a united African continent. This work traces the development Mbalia sees in Nkrumah's theory and practice, from the early formation of his unique ideology that emphasises the crucial role of socialism in the progress towards a united African continent, to the coup that ended his Presidency of Ghana and his subsequent belief that the people of Africa must, when diplomatic and political means had failed, raise arms against neo-colonialism. Mbalia urges that Nkrumah's vision still points the way to Pan-African unity. |
