Nicholas Richard-Thompson and Tunde Osazua from the Black Alliance for Peace join Breht to examine the life and legacy of Kwame Nkrumah—anti-colonial revolutionary, Pan-African visionary, and the first president of an independent Ghana. From leading the charge against British colonial rule to his bold attempts to unify the African continent under a socialist banner, Nkrumah's story is one of profound courage, political brilliance, and unfinished dreams. We explore his writings, his revolutionary vision for a liberated and united Africa, and the forces—both foreign and domestic—that sought to dismantle his project. Nkrumah's legacy still burns in the hearts of those fighting imperialism today, and this episode brings his voice back to the forefront of revolutionary memory.   Learn more and support Black Alliance for Peace    Follow Nicholas on Twitter    Follow Tunde on Twitter   BAP Chicago's Twitter   ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE Outro Beat Prod. by flip da hood

Send us a textStories have power—especially when they challenge expectations and break barriers. This is exactly what novelist Nkrumah Mensah demonstrates through her fantasy series that starts with "Anne of Survivor," featuring a young woman who flees an arranged marriage in the 1500s and finds herself entangled in kingdom-wide intrigue.During our captivating conversation, Nkrumah reveals how her own background shaped her storytelling journey. Despite facing dyslexia as a child, she comes from a lineage of natural storytellers on both sides of her family. What began as tales for the children she babysat eventually transformed into published novels when her daughter discovered an old manuscript in a dusty box.The spark that ignited her first novel came unexpectedly—sitting up all night with a college friend before her arranged marriage, wondering: what if they ran away? This thought experiment, transported to the limitations of the 16th century, became the foundation for a seven-book series featuring different female characters who each overcome unique challenges. Unlike many authors who create fictional versions of themselves, Nkrumah crafts protagonists with qualities she admires but doesn't necessarily possess—women who act decisively without hesitation.Nkrumah's writing process reflects the beautiful chaos of real life. Working construction by day and writing by night, she steals moments whenever possible—sometimes with late-night sessions accompanied by popcorn and tea, other times in five-minute bursts throughout a busy day. Her approach balances planning with spontaneity, allowing well-developed characters to navigate situations authentically, often leading to surprising yet satisfying conclusions.Want to discover more of Nkrumah's empowering stories? Find her on Instagram @theNkrumahMensah or visit her website at between-the-line.com. And remember her advice for aspiring writers: "Just keep on reading. And if you're looking to write and you want to know how to get started, all you have to do is take a blank page and get started."Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Nkrumah Mensah , author of the book Anne of Survivor. Nkrumah Mensah: mother of two, lover of Star Trek and Shakespeare, anime enthusiast, and ballroom dancer adds another tagline to her name . . . novelist. Born into a long line of storytellers and with a desire to share her tales with the world, Nkrumah is the first in her family to bring her characters to the written page. In a mystical place called Greensboro, in the zany land of North Carolina, she works in commercial construction by day and toils on her writing passion at night. An English graduate from Mary Baldwin College, Anne of Survivor, begins her epic journey into the world of YA publishing.   In my book review, I stated Anne of Survivor is an amazing young adult historical romance - and despite my age (well past young adult), I couldn't put this book down!   Anne is a young, privileged girl who simply doesn't see life in the same way as her parents. When her father punishes her for her behavior toward a potential suitor, Anne leaves her home and ends up working as a crew member on a ship - but not before meeting a young prostitute that she sets on the straight and narrow. Anne has guts and gumption and soon discovers that she more strength than she knew. But what will she do when she realizes she has feelings for her captain?   And what of the captain who is not what he seems? And Anne's family who finds themselves entwined with Anne's young friend?   The story has many twists and turns and is the first in a series.

Episode 2 of Matchday 1 of the African-five-a side podcast continues to explore the stories of five African heads of state and their influence on football. This week, we're introducing our central defender: the intellectual, inspiring, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.As the first head of state of an independent Ghana, Nkrumah quickly understood the power of football as a unifying tool. He appointed Ohene Djan as the director of sports in 1960, and put in place structures to support the success of the national team, sometimes to the detriment of local clubs. Nkrumah's interest in soccer was so great that he proposed the formation of a model club to offer leadership and inspiration to other clubs in the country. This club was later named Real Republikans, and was nicknamed OOC—Osagyefo's Own Club.The Black Stars, Ghana's national team, also scored a number of successes during Nkrumah's time in power. In 1960, Charles Gyamfi was named coach and quickly became the ideal candidate for the job. Under Gyamfi's leadership, the team produced many great players, including Baba Yara, Edward Aggrey-Fynn, Wilberforce Mfum, and Ben Acheampong.In 1963, Ghana hosted the Africa Cup of Nations and won, and they repeated the feat in 1965 in Tunisia. In 1964, Nkrumah donated 250 guineas for the creation of the African Clubs Championship, which became known as the Kwame Nkrumah Cup. Later that year, the Black Stars became the first African nation south of the Sahara to play at the Olympics, held in Tokyo.Nkrumah's side were considered one of the favorites to qualify for the 1966 FIFA World Cup, but Djan and the Confederation of African Football decided to proceed with a boycott of the tournament instead, as part of the wider African protest against FIFA's refusal to allocate a guaranteed qualifying place to the continent. Just a few weeks after Ghana won the 1965 Afcon, Nkrumah was deposed by a coup d'etat as he was out of the country.In retrospect, very few heads of state enjoyed as much success with their national football teams as he did in the short period of time that he did. His significant contributions to the development of the Confederation of African Football also make him a natural choice for our African heads of state five-a-side team.

The transition from childhood to adulthood ushers in a wide variety of difficult questions like who actually loves us, and why. Nyani Nkrumah explores those coming-of-age themes, as well as issues of race, identity, trauma, and who is responsible for the person we actually are.    Nkrumah was born in Boston and grew up in Ghana, West Africa and later Zimbabwe. Nkrumah holds a doctorate from Cornell University and attributes her love of writing to her mother, a former English and literature teacher who entertained her kids by reciting poetry and Shakespeare soliloquies on the way to school. Her book, “Wade in the Water,” tells the story of an unforgettable summer in 1982 seen largely through the eyes of Ella, an 11-year-old black girl trying to overcome familial abuse.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Walter Rodney's Decolonial Marxism - Essays From The Pan-African Revolution with Jesse Benjamin

In this episode Dr. Jesse Benjamin returns to the podcast. Like our previous conversation with Jesse we're connecting to talk about a recently released book by Walter Rodney, in this case it's Decolonial Marxism: Essays From The Pan-African Revolution, which is a previously unpublished collection of Rodney's essays on race, colonialism and Marxism. Jesse Benjamin is a scholar, activist, publisher, and board member for the Walter Rodney Foundation, and he is the co-editor of Decolonial Marxism. We talk about how Decolonial Marxism showcases Rodney's range as a theorist and a thinker, as an educator, and as an activist. This collection of essays across a range of topics really provides practical examples of what we think Rodney meant by the term “guerilla intellectual.” It also gives us a glimpse of how Rodney assessed some of the movements and key theorists and leaders of his lifetime, particularly with respect to anticolonial nationalists and socialists on the African continent. Jesse Benjamin offers insights into how he reads Rodney's work in these pieces with respect to pedagogy and epistemology. We also talk about the title Decolonial Marxism and how Rodney takes up the questions of the relevance of Marxism to African peoples and other peoples of the so-called Third World. Jesse also talks about the significance of many of Rodney's interventions in a range of areas and approaches that are really groundbreaking or, at the very least, would've been quite cutting edge during Rodney's lifetime. And all of us marvel at how relevant and insightful Rodney's contributions remain decades after his assassination. We strongly recommend the book for anyone who appreciates Walter Rodney's work and if you're not familiar with Rodney's work it's really essential stuff and we highly recommend it. Verso Books has published this text and they also have editions of 3 other Rodney books all of which are authorized by the Walter Rodney Foundation and Rodney's family. And everything is 40% off over there at Verso for the rest of September. Make sure you get connected with the Walter Rodney Foundation every year they host a Walter Rodney Symposium which is an amazing event. And if you like what we do here we hope you will consider joining up with all of our wonderful patrons in supporting the show. We currently have a drive to add 25 new patrons this month. We only need 10 more to hit our goal for this month, so head on over to patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism and become a patron if you can spare $1 a month or more. Also while you're there we currently have a poll to determine our next study group book, so make sure you vote on that and be on the look out for updates because we will be reconvening our study group in October.

For this episode we interview with Marika Sherwood. As she mentions in the episode, Sherwood was born into a Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary in 1937. After World War 2, the surviving members of her family emigrated with her to Australia, she was briefly employed in New Guinea, and eventually emigrated to England, finding employment as a teacher in London. She will discuss on the episode how she became dedicated to researching and publishing Black history. Along with Hakim Adi and others, Sherwood is one of the founders of the Black and Asian Studies Association in the UK. For us, this conversation was primarily spurred by our reading of her book Kwame Nkrumah and the Dawn of the Cold War, The West African National Secretariat 1945-1948. In this conversation Sherwood touches on some of the methods used by British government and the British press to suppress the organizing Kwame Nkrumah - along with others like George Padmore - was engaged in, during this post-war period, which was essential to the African anti-colonial movement. She also talks about areas where she sees a need for further research on anticolonial movements and counterintelligence operations against them. Sherwood also stresses the need for the UK to release more documentation on its own counterintelligence operations against Nkrumah, Padmore and others. Because there are aspects of the book that we weren't really able to touch on in this conversation I'm going to offer a brief summary of some of the interesting points before the discussion. We encourage people to check it out, and to check out Sherwood's other work as well. To give you an idea, she sent us a list of her publications and it was 8 pages long, including over 20 books. In addition to Kwame Nkrumah, her books include work on Pan-Africanism, Claudia Jones, and Malcolm X. In many ways this is more of a conversation about dedication, for Sherwood we get some understanding of why she has dedicated so much of her life to studying African movements and Black History. It also hopefully give us some sense of the dedication that Kwame Nkrumah had to all the peoples of Africa. And it also highlights the dedication of British Empire to undermining the conditions for true self-determination on the African continent and their dedication to deliberately hiding that legacy out of public record.  We hope you enjoy this episode. This is our fifth episode of August, we already have a bunch of really exciting conversations slated to come out in September and October as well. If you'd like to become a patron of the show, you can become one for as little as $1 a month. It is with the generous support of our listeners that we can continue to bring you these conversations every week.

Kwame Nkrumah was considered by some as a visionary hero who urged would-be leaders in Africa to embrace the idea of unity for the continent, and led Ghana to independence from British colonial rule in 1957. But in becoming Ghana's first prime minister, and then president, he was criticised for his autocratic style of government and the way in which he pursued his Pan-African ideology seemingly at the expense of his own people. In 1966 Nkrumah was removed from power in a coup, and never returned to Ghana. Bridget Kendall's guests include Ghanaian journalist-turned-historian, AB Assensoh, who interviewed Nkrumah in exile. Assensoh is emeritus professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington, and Courtesy Emeritus Professor in the History Department of University of Oregon. He's the author of many books on Nkrumah, including a collaboration with his wife Yvette entitled Kwame Nkrumah's Political Kingdom and Pan-Africanism Reinterpreted, 1909–1972. Joining them are Kwasi Konadu, Professor in Africana & Latin American Studies at Colgate University in the US. He's published widely on African history, including The Ghana Reader: History, Culture and Politics; and Matteo Grilli, senior researcher at the University of the Free State in South Africa. He's the author of Nkrumaism and African Nationalism: Ghana's Pan-African Foreign Policy in the Age of Decolonization. Produced by Fiona Clampin for the BBC World Service.

In this episode we talk to Louis Allday, writer, historian and founding editor of Liberated Texts. Liberated Texts is an independent book review website which features works of ongoing relevance that have been forgotten, underappreciated, suppressed or misinterpreted in the cultural mainstream since their release. Louis gets into a more detailed description of the site's purpose and some of the reviews they've featured since its founding just over a year ago. He also talks about the importance of books to anti-imperialist struggle, and ways that the publishing industry has been targeted by counterintelligence and counterinsurgency operations by the likes of the CIA and other related agencies. The inaugural Liberated Texts Collected Reviews volume is now available. Published by Ebb books, we'll include links to where you can order it in the show notes. As we mention in the episode, Liberated Texts is a resource that we use to find interesting subject matter for this podcast. We've previously featured a couple of discussions directly based on reviews from the site, and also featured folks who have gone on to write reviews for Liberated Texts. We'll include some links to those in the show notes as well. As Louis mentions in the episode, Liberated Texts is going to soon begin republishing or publishing books in English for the first time starting in July of this year. Their first book will be an English translation of Ghassan Kanafani's On Zionist Literature. Proceeds from the sales of their first volume of collected reviews will go towards that publishing work.

Earlier this month Brooke Terpstra from Oakland Abolition and Solidarity and Jared Ware convened a brief course that we titled Journalism for Liberation and Combat. At the heart of the course was the question: How do we cultivate revolutionary culture? Further we looked at the specific intersection of media or cultural production and revolutionary organizing.  Over the next couple weeks we will be sharing audio versions of all of these sessions. We will also be working with Black Power Media to release the video versions of these discussions over there over the next couple of weeks, the first one could premiere as soon as this Friday. What you will get here is lightly edited audio. The videos do often include visual aids. In addition to this there is a syllabus for this course which we will link in the show notes, that includes all of the readings we asked course participants to complete along with participating in the classes themselves. We encourage folks to do this course on their own time ideally with folks they organize with or work on radical media work with or maybe both.  Our guests for this series include: Jared Ball from IMIXWHATILIKE and Black Power Media,  Too Black from Black Myths Podcast, Black Power Media, and The Last Dope Intellectual Erica Caines from Black Alliance For Peace & Hood Communist Kelly Hayes from Truthout & Movement Memos Brian Nam-Sonenstein from Shadowproof and Beyond Prisons Brandon Soderberg (coauthor of I Got A Monster: The Rise & Fall of America's Most Corrupt Police Squad) And Jared Ware (MAKC) and Brooke Terpstra (Oakland Abolition & Solidarity) In this conversation there's a little bit of an introduction from myself and Brooke just giving you some background on the series, and then you will hear Jared Ball's presentation Journalism, Internal Colonialism, and Emancipation. In this session, Jared Ball will cover a summary of internal colonialism theory as context for emancipatory journalism. He will define and exemplify emancipatory journalism and he will discuss the rise and current state of the media/journalism environment in these so-called United States. At the close of his presentation, there is a Q&A session where Jared Ware, Brooke Terpstra, and coco ask Jared Ball some introductory questions. coco the comrade who joins us, is a conscious New Afrikan who engages in prisoner solidarity work along with political education & New Afrikan resistance, currently they host the Nkrumah study group we've been running. For folks looking specifically for Jared Ball's presentation it starts at 29:45 seconds. The first roughly 30 minutes here are Brooke and me discussing the Journalism For Liberation & Combat series as well as this episode. This was a collaborative process and so I encourage you to contribute to, join or follow any of the organizations involved in putting this together - whether they do media work or organizing work - for us the easiest way to do that is by becoming a patron of the show at patreon.com/millennialsarekillingcapitalism
