About this book
Examining Kwame Nkrumah's time in exile, Tunde Adeleke challenges existing and popular understandings of Nkrumah's ideas and struggles.
In Kwame Nkrumah's Quest for Restoration: Nkrumaism and Pan-Africanism in Exile Tunde Adeleke examines Kwame Nkrumah's life and the six years he spent in exile in Conakry, Guinea, exploring the extraordinary efforts and resources he invested on attempts to return and regain political power. Adeleke contends that Nkrumah's overthrow and exile compelled him to reimagine, revise, and fundamentally alter the essence of Pan-Africanism. This book shows how Nkurmah spearheaded the Pan-Africanist movement for greater continental unification, deviating from some of the essential values and principles of Pan-Africanism. His time in exile exposed a personality in sharp contrast to the consummate Pan-Africanist memorialized in Black Nationalist discourses. Through textual analysis of Nkrumah's letters and political writings, Adeleke argues that Nkrumah's fundamental change and redirection on Pan-Africanism not only shaped the movement's new purpose but also impacted Ghana.
