Kofi Abrefa Busia (1914–1978), born a member of the royal house
of Wenchi, Ghana was a Ghanaian political leader and sociologist.
He was a scholar by inclination and temperament and symbolized the
dilemma of the intellectual in politics – the man of thought
forced by events to become the man of action. These three volumes,
originally published between 1962 and 1967, reissued here together
for the first time, each with new introductory material, were all
written in exile, and contemplate the continent of Africa
undergoing rapid social transformation. Together they act as
testimonials to the importance of, and difficulty in, implementing
democratic traditions. In these works Busia considered the
centrality of traditional African ideologies and practices and the
institutions they supported, to comprehend the influence of native
institutions and systems of thought on the modern national state
and to reflect on their continuing role in creating a healthy
democratic environment. The principles he taught continue to live
on in the influences he made on African studies in general and
Ghanaian politics in particular to the extent that his name had
become a shorthand for the establishment of free Democratic
traditions in Ghana today.
