Consciencism Philosophy and the Ideology for Decolonization by Kwame Nkrumah

Consciencism: Philosophy and Ideology for De-colonization is without question among the greatest books ever written. It is the definitive work on the subject of the worldwide African freedom struggle. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah guides the reader to an understanding of the indispensable link between culture, society, philosophy and ideology. He demonstrates that all societies, all peoples, have their own ideology emerging from their particular philosophical views. He shows how in the instance of the enslaved and colonized Africans some individuals succumb to the imposed philosophies and ideologies of the enslaver and colonizers, whereas others, such as Dr. Nkrumah himself, are capable of gleaning from the experience that which is useful in reconstructing the African perspective on life and reality. His book is primarily concerned with helping the reader understand how to develop and use redemptive philosophy and ideology in the African context to overcome the immense negative consequences of the great crimes against humanity perpetrated on the peoples of Africa. He further posits that the generic approach he advocates, that is philosophical consciencism, is applicable for adaptation by other peoples similarly impacted by the monstrous systems of slavery, colonialism and its modern rendition neocolonialism. It is a must read for all those who are really concerned with the dismal state of the world today. I give this book a 5; if possible I would give it an exponentially higher rating. It is just that good. Dowload Link
