Re-visiting Nana Chancellor Williams’ great work this week for his Earthstrong December 22nd, remember this great Pan-Afrikan author. When’s the last time you’ve read this book? If you haven’t read it, that’s the challenge for this week. There are audio books and PDFs online to make it happen!

An interesting chapter that I have always wanted to discuss with others from that book was on the systems of governance based on African principles. He outlines clear organizational structures that I believe need to be studied by us.
What are your thoughts on the practical application of what he wrote about how to govern in an African context?

Latio, are you referring to Chapter 6 – the African Constitution: Birth of Democracy or a different one?

Yup! For years I saw people engage in discussions of Afrikan governance but nobody ever mentioned the work of Nana Chancellor Williams! I was shocked when I read it. The points that people argued were addressed right there in one chapter.

This is my favorite chapter so far. I will always come back to it and couple it with the lessons from The Rebirth of African Civilization, that really goes in on governance/economic structure. Have you read that one by Nana Chancellor Williams? Often overlooked for the Destruction.

mmmm I have not read that one. I am interested!

Asé mhenga Baba Chancellor Williams! Nitaongea kwa Kiswahili kwa sababu ninahitaji kuboresha Kiswahili changu. Mara ya mwisho niliposoma kitabu hiki ilikuwa miaka mitatu iliyopita. Nafikiri nitaisoma tena nikirudi nyumbani. Asante kwa kushiriki. 🙏🏾✊🏾

Most Afrikan students are never introduced to this work…I am happy I began to learn on my own after realizing the limits of the university I attended. I grew frustrated because my fellow Afrikan students claimed to want the same goal but insisted on learning from white men. I knew then that I had to find different teachers.
