Hakim Adi and Sherwood gather two centuries of information on selected Pan-Africanist thinkers and political activists from anglophone and francophone countries. Detailed biographical entries cover such major figures as Marcus Garvey, Constance Cummings-John, Kwame Nkrumah, Malcolm X, and Harold Moody, each supplying a suggested reading list and bibliography. The authors include men and women of African descent whose lives and work have focused on the social and political emancipation of peoples from countries of Africa and the African diaspora. Their book provides detailed research on both prominent and lesser-known Pan-Africanist leaders. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. General readers through faculty. L.
