The Second Emancipation: Nkrumah, Pan-Africanism, and Global Blackness at High Tide - New York Liveright Publishing Corporation 2025 - xviii, 512 p. ill., maps ; 25 cm.
The Second Emancipation, the second work in a trilogy from best-selling author Howard W. French about Africa’s pivotal role in shaping world history, underscores Adam Hochschild’s contention that French is a “modern-day Copernicus.” The title―referring to a brief period beginning in 1957 when dozens of African colonies gained their freedom―positions this liberation at the center of a “movement of global Blackness,” with one charismatic leader, Kwame Nkrumah (1909–1972), at its head.
