Political Legacy of Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana (African Studies (Lewiston, N.Y.), V. 66.)

Western academia and public awareness give scant recognition of the unique contributions that leaders in the developing world are making in formulating political ideas and actions, says Boateng (political science, Kean U., New Jersey), and sets out to redress the neglect. Nkrumah (1909-72) was president of the first black African country to gain independence after World War II, and Boateng shows how as an elder statesman of the African continent, his ideas on Ghanaian and African development have provided some theoretical and practical understanding of the non-industrialized world's pursuit of development.
