A Critical Appraisal of Kwame Nkrumah’s Pan Africanism and the Appropriation of African Identity

This paper sets out to discuss the question of African identity from the position related to Nkrumah's Pan Africanism. This work demonstrates that the question of African identity is challenged by the diversity of cultural heritages that incarnate the African continent and its peoples. It also shows that the invasions by foreign cultures impede the delimitation of an identity called African, and that the re education of the African is instrumental in reinventing an African identity capable of competing with other cultures in the global space .
