Klappentext
The Second Emancipation, a work of Odyssean dimension, 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. Determined that readers fully understand Nkrumah's legacy, Howard W. French newly dramatises the Nkrumah story. The language soars as French evokes 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 is a generational work that positions not only Africa but also the American civil rights movement at the forefront of modern-day history.
Howard W. French's Born in Blackness was praised as:
"[S]earing, humbling and essential reading."-Nigel Cliff, The New York Times
"[A] magnificent, powerful and absorbing book [...] beautifully done; a masterpiece even [...] French writes with the elegance you would expect from a distinguished foreign correspondent, and with the passion of someone deeply committed to providing a corrective."-Peter Frankopan, The Observer
