  • Ghana: The Autobiography of Kwame Nkrumah (Hardcover)

    The moving, human story of Kwame Nkrumah’s life from childhood to his dynamic leadership of the liberation struggle and the attainment of Ghana’s independence in 1957.

    A personal account of the African liberation struggle, this book was first published on March 6, 1957, to mark the day of Ghana’s Independence, a day which signalled the launching of the wider Pan-African struggle for the liberation of the entire African continent. As the leader of the movement for independence, Nkrumah provides an illuminating discussion of the problems and conflicts along the way to political freedom, and the new prospects beyond.

    This book is essential for understanding the genesis of the African Revolution and the maturing of one of its outstanding leaders.

  • Falls in Ghana: A Visual Collection of Waterfalls and Cascades in Ghana – A Coffee Table Photobook (Chasing Waterfalls with Steve Ababio & Gina Arthur, Hardcover)

    Waterfalls in Ghana are interesting, delightful and well worth the effort to seek out and explore. While Ghana does not have any with the sheer vast height or width of say Niagara Falls on the US-Canada border, or Victoria Falls in East Africa, falls in Ghana offer a much closer personal interaction in that you can stand under or much closer to the cascades and bathe or swim in their plunge pools.

    The Chasing Waterfalls with Steve Ababio & Gina Arthur Guide books help make your personal journey a lot easier and more rewarding as you get to pick and choose the sort of experience you prefer. The Coffee Table Book is the perfect gift for anyone you’d like to introduce to Ghana, for your own enjoyment.

  • The Mkapa Years: Collected Speeches (3-Volume Box Set, Hardcover)

    This collection of speeches, in three volumes, by the third President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Benjamin William Mkapa (1995–2005), will serve primarily as reference documents to the vision of what he attempted to achieve in his ten years of leadership. His tenure as a leader came at a time when Tanzania’s economy was in dire condition. The legacy of the command economy, which had been in place for much of the 1970s and 1980s, was still felt. There was resistance to change to adopt a market economy, evident in the political tensions and debates about privatisation, an approach following Structural Adjustment Programmes, imposed by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, that had led to stagnation of the economy, high inflation, deteriorating health, education, communication, and transport sector services, as well as general gloom in the country especially among the poor. The bold steps he took during the first half of his administration did not immediately endear him to the public. However, in the ensuing years, slowly but steadily, positive results were achieved, and the social cost of change that the people had endured was appreciated. Relations with development partners and the multilateral agencies that before he took office had sunk to the lowest ebb were restored, and Tanzania, which was no longer unfit to borrow, received the largest debt relief ever and henceforth. Tanzania was on its way to new growth potentials and a vibrant private sector-led economy.

    These collected speeches tell this story and tell it well, in great prose laced with wit and quotations from world political and literary sources, which is an evidence of his erudition as a literature student and journalist.

  • Revolutionary Path

    This book was compiled during the last two years of the author’s life. It was begun in response to many requests for a single volume which would contain key documents, some of them previously unpublished, which would illustrate landmarks in his career as a leading theorist and activist of the world socialist revolutionary struggle.

    Among the documents included in Parts One and Two are Editorials from the Accra Evening News, What I Mean by Positive Action, The Motion of Destiny, The Dawn Broadcast, and the full text of other important speeches and broadcasts. Introductory sections to each document provide further insight into the political thinking of this great revolutionary Pan Africanist.

  • Contemporary Trends in the Law of Immovable Property in Ghana

    The law of immovable property is concerned primarily with the relationships which exist between persons who hold, inter alia, interest in , title to or rights over immovable objects that are capable of ownership under a law in force at any one time. it is also inferentially, though comparatively minimally, concerned with the nature of such objects as well as the interest, title and rights that are permitted by the existing law t be held in such relevant objects. The law of immovable property is further concerned with a bundle of legal and institutional frameworks which regulate and manage the proprietary and other incidental matters pertaining to all that may be properly described as immovable property.

    With Author’s Note written in Conakry. An account of a crucial period in the history of the Republic of Congo by one of the heads of state most closely involved.

  • History of Ashanti by Otumfuo, Nana Osei Agyeman Prempeh II (Hardcover)

    History of Ashanti is unusual, perhaps unique, in that it provides a long historical account of the great West African forest kingdom of Asante by a ruler of that society. Thus, it is African history written by an African king and his assistants. This is, without a doubt, a very important document for historians of Africa. It has too a much wider resonance at the present time: here the Asante ‘voice’ is speaking directly to all those across the globe who claim ancestral links to the African continent, and who are still engaged in the struggle to define, to strengthen and to assert their identities in a world that long discounted the value, or even the existence, of their historical experience.

  • Kwame Nkrumah: More Letters from the Conakry Years

    Letters from Stokely Carmichael, Grace and James Boggs, Julia Wright, Shirley Graham DuBois and others make this volume invaluable for Nkrumaists worldwide. For Pan-Africanists everywhere and for those concerned about the present and future welfare of all people of African descent, these additional Kwame Nkrumah Conakry letters will prove inspirational.

    There is no single individual who has contributed more to Africa and its people all over world than Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. In theory and in practice, his great contribution was, primarily, to the African Revolution, the struggle to bring about a liberated, united, and socialist Africa: Pan-Africanism.

    Nkrumah used every occasion to articulate the tenets of Pan-Africanism. First, a people’s identity is derived from their ancestral land base, not from their birthplace, and, therefore, the only land base that Africans justly could claim is continental Africa. Secondly, he understood that only a united, socialist Africa could provide a permanent solution to the exploitation of Africa’s wealth, the exploitation of its people’s labor, and the oppression of its people.

    All of his efforts, therefore, were on behalf of Pan-Africanism. He never stopped writing or speaking about it. *The collection of letters compiled by June Milne, his literary executrix, first published by Panaf in 1990 as well as these additional Conakry letters are proof that the overthrow of his government on February 24, 1966 only strengthened his resolve to fight for Pan-Africanism. In fact, Nkrumah’s most mature beliefs in regard to the African Revolution were articulated in the letters and books written during the Conakry years.

    After the coup, Nkrumah did not waste time corresponding with individuals who did not demonstrate a commitment to the African Revolution. Thus, the Conakry letters represented in this volume are to those individuals whom Nkrumah felt could help him articulate an advanced theory of the African Revolution or, such as in the case of Reba Lewis, could help him stay abreast of current trends in the world, could share information about mutual acquaintances, and encourage him to be mindful of his health.

    The correspondence between him and those represented in this volume was essential in helping him develop his advanced theory of the African Revolution. One of the most critical extensions of this revolutionary theory is his understanding of the role Diasporan Africans play and will continue to play in this Revolution. Letters from Julia Wright and James and Grace Boggs are insightful in this regard. Others such as Reba Lewis help in his crystalizing other concepts.

    One thing for sure, always first and foremost in the mind of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was the quest for the permanent liberation of African people: the achievement of Pan-Africanism. That is why he is the greatest hero. That is also why Osagyefo’s contribution to all people of African descent will never be forgotten.

    *A few of the letters in the Milne collection appear in this collection as well. These letters appear in their entirety here since significant sections of them were omitted in Milne’s work, sections which Pan-Africanists would think most insightful in regard to the African Revolution.
