This book also analyzes the complexity of post-independence foreign policy decision making and the influence of the post-colonial narrative during the Cold War. In this study, Charles Asante argues that the significance and continuity of Nkrumah's legacy is often attributed to his pan-Africanist leadership on the African continent, fervently articulating an independent African foreign policy. Leaders like Nkrumah, considered themselves as the redeemers of Africa's political and economic vulnerability from its colonial experiences. Asante finds that, in contrast to the positive experience associated with his independence movement for Ghana, Nkrumah could not build the same kind of vision, engagement, and networks among other African nationalist leaders necessary for successful promotion of a Pan-African region. Despite Nkrumah's own foreign policy failures in the Congo, the United States of Africa project, and his sudden overthrow in 1966, Nkrumah's Pan-African vision is still promoted as an important foreign policy objective by Ghana's politicians, public servants, military, and academics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Asante\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666953512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666953510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Charles Asante","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46311207633151,"sku":"9781666953510","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04966d4e-ab09-4dc3-99b6-56f419234306.jpg?v=1730888841","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghanas-foreign-policy-charles-asante-9781666953510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
