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.

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. It is a publication that should benefit college students as well as college professors and the general reader interested in Pan-Africanism and African political leadership.
