401 Abibisika (Black Gold) Points

Rank: Unranked Obibini

“Some time ago, in Beyond the Colour Line, I made the point that we have got to be wary about what I call “continentalism”. That is, the argument that Pan-Africanism means, still for us today, the unity of the African Continent in the first place, a unity of post-colonial states, and not as I would say and insist the unity of peoples, whose history and culture derive from the African Continent, and are conscious of this affinity and wish to develop these roots as a basis for the social and economic emancipation of African people. My definition fundamentally recognizes the link with the Diaspora as more important than the notion of Continental unity per se, which is essentially geographical. In other words, the unity of the greater part of this Continent, logically, would emerge more as a consequence than a cause. Again in other words, if people of African history and descent unite, that is if the African Nation unites, most of the Continent of Africa will unite.”

– Prof. Kwesi Kwaa Prah, Foreword to the book Pan Africanism/African Nationalism, Strengthening the Unity of Africa and its Diaspora, Edited by B.F. Bankie & K. Mchombu
