Kwame Nkrumah

The Father of African Nationalism

Beschreibung

Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972) turned a dream of liberation into a political reality. He was the leader of Ghana who urged Africa to shed the colonial yoke and who inspired black people everywhere to seek their freedom. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate classes, David Birmingham's wonderfully concise biography addresses the issues pertaining to colonial transition, African nationalism, and pan-Africanism. In this new edition, Birmingham also examines Nkrumah's exile and provides insight into the image of Nkrumah that has emerged in the light of research recently published.
