The Second Emancipation

Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism, and Global Blackness at High Tide
Howard French’s The Second Emancipation stands the second half of the last century on its geopolitical head.” — David Levering Lewis, winner of the Pulitzer Prize
The Second Emancipation recasts the liberation of post–Second World War colonial Africa and the American civil rights struggle through the lens of Ghana’s revolutionary visionary Kwame Nkrumah (1909–1972), who emerges as the most significant African leader of the twentieth century. Howard W. French newly dramatises the Nkrumah story, a continent in the throes of liberation and a roiling United States in the Cold War era.In its dramatic depiction of a continent that once exuded the promise of a newly won freedom, The Second Emancipation positions not only Africa but also the American civil rights movement at the forefront of modern-day history.
