Kwame Nkrumah and Félix Houphouët-Boigny

This book discusses the divergent approaches to the concepts of African independence and unity adopted by two great African leaders, namely, the former President of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah and the former president of the Ivory Coast Felix Houphouet-Boigny. It identifies the impact their differences have had on various facets of African socio-political life since independence. The book also explores why, in spite of its various human, agricultural and mineral resources, Africa is still ranked as the poorest continent in the world.
