Basil Davidson's Black Star remains one of the most thoughtful and
insightful views into the life and times of Kwame Nkrumah
(1909-1972)'.- Emmanuel Akyeampong, from the book's new Foreword
Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah seized opportunities to lead the
countries of sub-Saharan Africa away from colonialism. In 1957, he
became the first Prime Minister of Ghana. By the time he was
overthrown in a coup in 1966 most African countries, outside the
settler-dominated South, had also achieved independence. ' As a
visionary Nkrumah was ahead of his times, with an astute
understanding of colonialism that made the twin goals of socialism
at home (Ghana) and African unity the abiding principles of his
work and life.... Nkrumah's monumental role and place in modern
Ghana's history mystifies him as a national hero; Black Star
humanizes Nkrumah in important ways, and the reader gains a new
understanding of a great man, but still a man.' - From the new
Foreword by Emmanuel Kwaku Akyeampong, Professor of History,
Harvard University
