From humble beginnings in a small village, Nkrumah left Africa to be educated abroad, where he met other pan-Africanists who shaped his political understanding. From the time he returned home to the Gold Coast-then a British colony-his story became one with the his country's struggle for independence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWitnessing earlier attempts at West African nationalism that failed to support the masses, and believing that a colonial authority would be more likely to relinquish power to a well-organized government supported by a majority of Ghana's population, he formed the Convention People's Party \"as the democratic instrument of the people's will and aspirations.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere Dr. Nkrumah shares his life and evolving political philosophy over his several-year journey toward becoming the first prime minister and then president of the newly independent Ghana. His embrace of nonviolence and promotion of Pan-African unity earned him the moniker \"the African Nehru.\" Writing in his autobiography, he states, \"Our example must inspire and strengthen those who are still under foreign domination.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNkrumah's passion for the independence of his people and for neighboring African states infuses this book with inspiration. Still relevant after six decades, this lucid, personal recounting of a pivotal moment in African political history is instrumental to understanding the challenges facing today's evolving African society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1635619130).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 356\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53756875243853,"sku":"9781635619126","price":63.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/BRnp91aspT9781635619126.webp?v=1776754683","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/ghana-the-autobiography-of-kwame-nkrumah-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
