About This Item
30 pp. text printed recto only in mimeograph. 4to. Very good, rust at staples, minor handling marks. Stab stapled. [1119]
A fascinating inside view of the role of social and political youth groups in the early days of liberated Ghana under Kwame Nkrumah. The author considers Nkrumah's role in fostering a utopian socialist viewpoint and physical health culture in members of the Ghana Young Pioneers, as well as the group's dismantlement after the coup of 1966. A scarce and useful primary source for scholars interested in African independence movements and socialist utopian politics in the Global South during the 1960s. As of November 2020, we can find no copies online, and no record of institutional holdings in North America.
