Abstract
The most remarkable characteristic of the Ghanaian politician and ideologist Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972) is his radical Pan-Africanism. To him, the signifier Africa had the meaning of a nation to be built and reconquered. This Pan-African drive was the outcome of a visible maturation in his history. The Ghanaian educator James Aggrey (1875-1927) had an essential role in it. By means of a review of Nkrumah’s work and of Aggrey’s speeches and writings, we discuss the intellectual relations between them in this paper.
