This book makes a critical contribution to the study of pan-Africanism and the education of African people for continental African citizenship; it is a unique endeavor in that it intersects the social history of pan-Africanism and the education of African people at a 'global' level and provides reflections from a multidisciplinary perspective on the urgency for continental pan-Africanism educational system in order to produce a more renascent African for the twenty-first century. Arguing that Pan-African Education is a mass-based educational system that will 'craft' a pan-African African personality; John Marah calls for integrated African school systems and curriculum changes conducive to larger social integration and institutionalized pan-African educational processes. The establishments of pan-African Teachers Colleges, intensive language institutes, pan-African literature courses, the training of African military and police forces; the use of music, sports, media and other extra-curricular activities (the hidden curriculum), etc. are viewed as essential aspects in the socialization of a pan-African character or personality. Pan-African Education is an essential read for students and scholars of Pan-Africanism, African and Africana Studies and Black Studies.
