In this book of political essays I have expanded the question by asking, "What is Africa to Africans, and what is Africa to the world?"

While many often echo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's call for Africa to Unite, most have never actually read his historic speech. Given at a meeting of thirty two (32) African Heads of States, Dr. Nkrumah stressed with urgency the need to immediately form a continental Union of African States to advert the snares of neocolonialism. His warning was ignored. 58 years later, Dr. Nkrumah has been proven right!
