Based on extensive interviews and a deep reading of published work, Charles Asante argues that Kwame Nkrumah’s struggle for independence set a norm and created an identity which the Ghanaian state cannot escape. By presenting Nkrumah as a norm-leader who also struggled to implement his vision, this book explains the enduring influence of the postcolonial leaders who came into power immediately after independence in Africa. Asante succeeds in highlighting the importance of deeply studying African agency in international relations, while also remaining critical of Ghana’s leader. Asante's research is a prime example of how IR theory scholarship can benefit from the integration of postcolonial perspectives and should therefore be widely read. -- Frank Gertis, Utrecht University Author InformationCharles Asante is lecturer at the Center for African and International Studies at the University of Cape Coast.
