Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-07 00:00:00 Darlene Nichols As someone not horribly experienced in reading heavily political texts, I found this to be an easy read. Nkrumah's writing is intellectually accessible to even those without a background in politics. He conveys, with urgency, the need for socialist revolutions in Africa and the world. If you can't handle "capitalism" being treated as the other C-word, this will be a difficult read for you.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-21 00:00:00 David Hoelscher Absolutely one of the greatest texts on Marxism I've ever read. From the perspective of an African Marxist and revolutionary who liberated Ghana, this text intricately lays out a map to liberation and unity of Africa as one nation. I particularly enjoyed and learned from Nkrumah's statements that 'African socialism' is a backwards statement and set of beliefs that others African revolutionaries' fight for socialist liberation and makes it seem different than the global struggle for socialism and world communism. Also interesting is Nkrumah's usage of "Indigenous bourgeoisie", a phrase I had never heard of before reading this. Obviously it makes sense, seeing as how it is the best phrase to use when discussing and struggling against neo-colonialism, but it was great to be introduced to this. A fantastic read. I can't recommend it enough.
