In this new edition of Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution, C. L. R. James tells the history of the socialist revolution led by Kwame Nkrumah, the first president and prime minister of Ghana. Although James wrote it in the immediate post-independence period around 1958, he did not publish it until nearly twenty years later, when he added a series of his own letters, speeches, and articles from the 1960s. Although Nkrumah led the revolution, James emphasizes that it was a popular mass movement fundamentally realized by the actions of everyday Ghanaians. Moreover, James shows that Ghana's independence movement was an exceptional moment in global revolutionary history: it moved revolutionary activity to the African continent and employed new tactics not seen in previous revolutions. Featuring a new introduction by Leslie James, an unpublished draft of C. L. R. James's introduction to the 1977 edition, and correspondence, this definitive edition of Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution offers a revised understanding of Africa's shaping of freedom movements and insight into the possibilities for decolonial futures.

From the mid 1700s in Edinburgh until today ... "The Clock "winds its way through time and tides. Through the centuries it stands, a sentinel in many a home, some grand, some not so grand. Always it stands and keeps time for the owner. It keeps watch in more ways than one. Some owners are proud of the clock and keep it front and center, while others are ambivalent towards it and hardly notice its presence. Still it ticks and tocks its way through the ocean of time that two centuries avail. It was built as a pass into the Hammermen Society of Edinburgh; the boy genius craftsman that gave it birth could never have imagined the journey it went on ... neither can you

Many stories boast truth. They describe themselves as "based on a real-life incident." The story of the clock is indeed is based on a very true story.

Author James Leslie Payne is a broadcast executive in radio and television. He lives on Canada's West Coast with his wife, a golden retriever named Billy, and the Sentinel-yes, the Sentinel. It turns out that's the latest stop on its incredible journey-one that Payne is eager to share with you.

Turn your collar to the cold winds of time; let's begin the journey of "The Clock."

3000 BCE, east Mediterranean. A slave digs a silver nugget out of the ground at an Anatolian mine, launching it on a journey through the ages to the present day. Crisscrossing the globe, travelling into space and plunging to the seabed, it features in a series of world-changing historical events. Over fifteen chapters it falls into the hands of Alexander the Great, Judas Iscariot, Attila the Hun, William the Conqueror, Ferdinand Magellan, Marie Antoinette, Adolf Hitler and many more. As such, it witnesses human endeavour in all its moods, from exploration to invention, from creation to devastation, from triumph to despair. Argentum is a light-hearted canter through the last 5,000 years, combining the adventures of the silver piece with some of the key characters and moments in world history, and revealing along the way the extraordinary adaptability of element 47. So where is it now?

For more than three decades and during some of the most turbulent times in our nation's history, Jim Leslie served as Chaplain at Ohio Wesleyan University. "I loved being a chaplain," he said. "I liked the negative part of it, too-having to defend what a chaplain does, or should do-speak truth to power and clear the roadblocks so the students can do the things they want to do for their own interests and the community's interest." In the pages of this book of occasional writings, prayers, and personal chapters, the reader can look back at a particular time in history in a particular place in mid-Ohio and hear a voice that is as relevant today as it was then. As the nation began to grapple with issues of race, class, sex, war, and the rising tide of violence in our cities, Leslie's voice and positions were clear, unadulterated, and prophetic. Not content to dwell in the ivory tower, Leslie invited and encouraged students to stand with him against intolerance, injustice, bigotry, and complacence. In words that were at once welcoming and uncompromising, Leslie brought the world's issues to the campus, and in his pioneering work with student missions, he took the students to the world. Jim Leslie changed lives, and those lives have changed other lives. His imprint and influence are indelible, not only at Ohio Wesleyan, but throughout the globe.
