Political thought is an essential ingredient of politics and the
study of political ideas is equally essential for the analysis of
political systems. Although the study of African politics has
expanded in past years, African political ideas have been
relatively neglected. Yet a significant characteristic of African
political activity is that those who exert the greatest influence
in practical politics also take the lead in formulating those ideas
that might be characterised as political thought. The relationship
between African political thought and African political action is,
in formal terms, a close one. In addition to the main introduction,
which discusses the characteristics and significance of African
political ideology, the editors have provided short introductions
to each major section of documents, biographies of the authors
quoted, and a substantial bibliography of works by individual
Africans or non-Africans who have influenced thought, as well as of
more general sources. With this book the reader will be able to
understand readily the issues which are of the most fundamental
concern in African politics, and the attitudes which inform the
actions of those in crucial posts of political authority.
