TIMES AND THOUGHTS OF AFRICAN POLITICAL THINKERS
This book is aimed principally at assessing the political theories of some of the most prominent African political philosophers and nationalists who, from diverse perspectives, responded to the African/Black Man's predicament. The contributors who are seasoned scholars drawn from different universities and disciplines have made their marks in their various assessments of the positions of these political thinkers. I strongly recommend this book to students of philosophy, history, sociology and political science. It is a must for human rights organizations, all those who are interested in redressing the African predicament and the reading public. Endorsed by Edioms Research and Innovation Centre (E-RIC)
