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.
Just when we thought we had exhausted our understanding of Kwame Nkrumah’s concept of Pan-Africanism, this refreshing discourse comes by A.B. Assensoh and Yvette M. Alex-Assensoh. Both admirers of Nkrumah, they approach this subject with a balanced academic rigor, seeped in rigorous analysis and respect for credible sources. In the end, we are forced to delight in their brilliant presentation of Pan-Africanism in all its colors, depths, and approaches. Young academics will find this book a useful primer, and seasoned academics will wonder why they had ignored some of these nuances for so long. I recommend this work enthusiastically.
