Abstract:

Kwame Nkrumah remains a towering figure in African history. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent campaign of civil disobedience to achieve political ends, he led present-day Ghana to independence in 1957. Nkrumah made Ghana a beacon of hope for not only Ghanaians but also people of African descent throughout the world. Perhaps no other African leader of the 1950s and 1960s personified the dreams, principles and aspirations of this era. At the centre of my analysis of Nkrumah's political, social and economic thought will be his own writings. I begin my re-examination of Nkrumah's life and t

Includes bibliographical references.<br>The study focuses on an examination of the political speeches of Kwame Nkrumah. The primary data of the study comprises audio-recorded and five volumes of selected published speeches of Nkrumah. Beyond these sources, the study explores the historical, political, and diplomatic circumstances which gave birth to Nkrumah's rhetorical inventions. In terms of the theoretical framework, the study applied three main correlative approaches: Aristotle (2007) on Levels of Proofs and Rhetorical Regimes, Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (1969) on Argument and Lloyd Bit

Abstract:

This thesis employs the norm entrepreneurship approach to explore Ghana’s foreign policy during the post-independence era, with a particular focus on the country’s first President Kwame Nkrumah’s policy of Pan-Africanism. Pan-Africanism may be defined as the idea of protecting Africa’s selfdetermination, and promoting a sense of consciousness and group solidarity amongst people of African origin. This thesis critically examines Nkrumah’s leadership in the post-independence period, and the way in which his Pan-African ideal and legacy has continued to influence Ghana’s foreign policy engagement

Abstract:

La pensee politique de nkrumah est a placer dans le contexte colonial. Reaction a celui-ci, elle porte un jugement negatif sur toute entreprise coloniale parce qu'elle ne serait qu'une exploitation des peuples colonises. Pour pouvoir se developper pleinement, le colonise devrait se liberer du joug colonial. A cet effet nkrumah a concu le consciencisme philosophique, qui est une synthese des valeurs etrangeres, notamment islamiques et europeennes, qui ont influence l'afrique, et des valeurs africaines. Le consciencisme philosophique serait l'arme veritable pour la decolonisation. Mais le develo

A la suite du Congrès panafricain de Manchester (octobre 1945), puis de son indépendance en mars 1957, le Ghana a été jusqu'en 1966 le centre de dynamiques transnationales trouvant leur origine dans la transformation sociale et politique de l'espace franco-africain. Considérant que l'indépendance du Ghana était liée à la libération totale du continent africain, Kwame Nkrumah a travaillé à construire la jeune nation africaine en tant que porte-drapeau du panafricanisme et embryon d'une union d'États africains indépendants et affranchis des cadres hérités de la période coloniale.

Abstract:

This study deals with leadership and 'humanness' and compares the perceptions of human equality of two outstanding African leaders, 'fathers of their nations', Kwame Nkrumah, first president of Ghana, and Julius Nyerere, first president of Tanganyika, later Tanzania. Leadership is a key issue for political, economic and social development in Africa and worldwide. This is especially true in times of financial and economic globalisation that affects people in poor African countries significantly.

Pourtant un intérêt profond pour ce continent existe déjà dans différents milieux américains. Cet intérêt coexiste avec la présence de leaders nationalistes africains venus faire leurs études aux États-Unis dans les années 1930. C'est le cas de Kwame Nkrumah, né en 1909 en gold coast, une colonie britannique d’Afrique de l'ouest.

In the second half of the Twentieth century a distinctive phenomenon crossed through Sub-Saharan Africa that modified not only the geopolitical aspect of the continent, but also the worldly north-south relation. From 1957 until 1990 all African countries had been freed from the burden of colonialism. The new leaders of these countries, who had lead liberation movements in the previous decades, strongly condemned (neo)-colonialism and advocated for a new international order in which African and Asian countries could have a greater voice. Among these leaders, Kwame Nkrumah stands out as he contr

Abstract:

In the 20th century the relationship between African-Americans and Africa grew into a prominent subject in the lives and perspectives of people who claim Africanheritage because almost every facet of American life distinguished people based on skin color. The prevailing discourse of the day said that the way a person looked was deeply to who they were.1 People with dark skin were associated with Africa, and the notion of this connection has survived to this day. Scholars such as Molefi Kete Asante point to cultural retentions as evidence of the enduring connection between African-Americans and

In six years the highly educated and charismatic Nkrumah gained independence for the Gold Coast, which he promptly renamed Ghana, on March 6, 1957.

Abstract:

Kwame Nkrumah was the first African leader to pursue the idea of Africa’s continent-wide unity with fervour. Many thought that African unity will only be the pooling of poverty and that Nkrumah’s dream was impossible. Nkrumah was known for his philosophy "Seek ye first the political kingdom and all things shall be added unto it". He thought that political unity should precede economic unity, which would naturally follow. Even though the newly independent African states agreed on the necessity of unity, his philosophy was not welcomed when the Organisation of African Unity was established
