858 pages ; 24 cm AYO LANGLEY, now a permanent Civil Servant in The Gambia, started collecting material for this book while lecturing in political science in the University of Edinburgh. The documents, reports, and extracts that he has selected (from French as well as English sources) illustrates the theme of Black Liberation and self determination that has for well over an hundred years characterized the writings of the great Black thinkers and liberators. In this selection the reader can follow the developments and expansion of the theme from the works of the early fathers, Crummell, Blyden, and Sarbah, through that of Sekyi, Thuku and Chilembwe down to the work of the modern philosopher-kings Nkrumah, Senghor and Nyerere. This book provides a brilliant aid to the better understanding of the development and intellectual problems that beset the modern states of Africa. Traditional social and political thought -- Race, nationalism and pan-Africanism -- Language and nation building -- African responses to the first and second World Wars, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 -- Youth and politics -- Democracy, federalism and tribalism -- Socialism -- Marxism, decolonisation and revolution in Africa.
