…book recommendation on decolonization and african independence movements
“And over the last book, I really went back and forth, but I think I'm going to go with Howard French's recent book called The Second Emancipation. It's a biography of Kwame Nkrumah and Ghanaian independence, and it has nothing to do with Israel, Palestine, or the Middle East, but it's just a fascinating story about decolonization and the frustrations of independence that followed. And it's a great read.”
