The second emancipation : Nkrumah, pan-Africanism, and global Blackness at high tide
French, Howard W.2025
Books
'The Second Emancipation', a work of Odyssean dimension, recasts the liberation of post-Second World War colonial Africa and the American civil rights struggle through the lens of Ghana's revolutionary visionary Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972), who emerges as the most significant African leader of the twentieth century. Determined that readers fully understand Nkrumah's legacy, Howard W. French newly dramatises the Nkrumah story. The language soars as French evokes a continent in the throes of liberation and a roiling United States in the Cold War era. In its dramatic depiction of a continent that once exuded the promise of a newly won freedom, 'The Second Emancipation' is a generational work that positions not only Africa but also the American civil rights movement at the forefront of modern-day history.
