The second book to be reviewed is also by Kwame
Nkrumah and is titled “Axioms of Kwame Nkrumahâ€, published in London in
1967 by Thomas Nelson. The book brings together various quotes of Kwame
Nkrumah from various books by him and addresses delivered by him either
in his official capacity as president of Ghana or simply as Kwame
Nkrumah.
Another book that will be used in this work is by
Gideon-Cyrus M. Mutiso and S.W Rohio titled “Readings in African
Political Thoughtâ€, published in London by Heinemann in 1975. The book
as the name suggests contains selected topics from various political
thinkers and the writings from Kwame Nkrumah featured prominently in the
book.
C. Okadigbo’s book titled “Consciencism in African Political
Philosophyâ€, published in Enugu by Fourth Dimension Publishers in 1985
is also under review. In this book, the author provided a review of
contemporary African philosophy with Nkrumah’s ‘consciencism’ under the
spotlight and according to him “there is here an evaluation of the
solution proposed by the same spirit of the African revolutionâ€8.
Another
book here under review is Kwame Nkrumah’s “Towards Colonial Freedomâ€,
published in London by Heinemann Educational Books in 1962. Here the
author describes this book as “a rough blueprint of the process which
colonial people can establish the realization of their complete and
unconditional independenceâ€9.
The sixth book under review is Kwame
Nkrumah’s “Africa Must Uniteâ€, published in London by Panaf Books in
1963. Here the author makes a case for Pan-African unity. He also urged
the people of African descent in the West Indies and in the United
States of America to strive for this unity as it will be a very
important factor in the political and economic emancipation of the
African.
These mentioned books and others written by Kwame Nkrumah and other authors will be used
