Recenzje

’William Ackah has written a thoughtful and stimulating contribution on Pan-Africanism which explores both past cul-de-sacs and future highways.’ Professor Barry Munslow, University of Liverpool, UK ’...a tour de force that refreshingly exposes the complexities and nuances of a historical phenomenon that some scholars, blinded by emotionalism, alienation and cultural jingoism, refuse to acknowledge.’ International Journal of African Historical Studies ’The personal but consistently thoughtful and subtle readings of pan-African ideas that Ackah provides are a valuable contribution to our understanding of this subject, and deserve a wide audience.’ Ethnic and Racial Studies
