African Political Thought
African liberation is often seen in terms of heroism, but seldom in terms of thought. The African and the black person are denied the condition of philosophy, apparently driven only by frustration and anger.Stephen Chan's new book charts the long history of African political thought, from the years of North American slavery, through the development of modern African nationalism and the difficulties of governing new states, to Africa's political philosophy today, taking on the world as an equal.
