Some Source Materials By And About Kwame Nkrumah 1

We have decided to use this series to provide information on a partial list of writings on Nkrumah, his work and legacy, etc. We are doing this in direct response to readers’ request. We will also hope that those who are not adequately informed about Nkrumah and his ideas may take advantage of the series to acquaint themselves with these comprehensive source materials on him.

However, we may want to point out that about ten percent or so of this serial collection of source materials will not directly deal with Nkrumah as a person, per se, but the theories, conjectures, and issues they explore generally provide the necessary backgrounds required to ground Nkrumah’s ideas in the realm of methodological legitimacy! We shall begin with works by Nkrumah and then proceed to outline other works written by individuals around the globe. Here we go:
