Dark Days in Ghana

Dark Days in Ghana by Kwame Nkrumah exposes the true nature of the military-police dictatorship that took power in Ghana after its Constitutional Government was overthrown in 1966. Set against the wider continental and world situation, this book demolishes the myth that Ghana needed to be rescued from "economic chaos" and reveals the systemic sell-out of its assets to neo-colonialist interests. Nkrumah recounts the transformation of Ghana from a democratic statehood to a humiliating neo-colony, highlighting the ongoing struggle for African unity and socialism. This book provides a clear understanding of the problems and possibilities for those resisting oppression and exploitation worldwide, as well as the development of continental African unity. First published in 1976, Dark Days in Ghana remains an important work that demonstrates Nkrumah's political and philosophical vision, offering valuable insights into the complexities of Ghana's history and its relevance to contemporary issues.
