About the book

"Writing Ghana, Imagining Africa demonstrates why and how projections of, and debates about, "African modernity" have been more than a continental affair. This book locates African modernity at the core of the activist intellection of the internationalist and black Atlantic nationalism of Pan-Africanism. Hence it comprehensively relates the thought of African Americans (Martin Delany, Alexander Crummell. W. E. B. Du Bois, Richard Wright), and West Indians (George Padmore, C. L. R. James), to that of seminal anglophone West African thinkers like E. W. Blyden, Africanus Horton, J. E. Casely Hayford, and Kwame Nkrumah." "Finally, Writing Ghana, Imagining Africa extends its modernist insights about African nationalism and Pan-Africanism globally, into critical cultural, historical, and theoretical reformulations of the transnational and the so-called postcolonial condition."--BOOK JACKET.
