Author	Ankle, Garnett L.
Title	Garvey's Pan-Africanism : its impact on Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Michael Manley of Jamaica
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2006
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Pan-Africanism has influenced many political leaders in Africa and the African Diaspora. Many African leaders see this movement as one that unites all Africans. One of the architects of Pan-Africanism is Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican. In the United States during the 1920s, Garvey fought for a liberated Africa. Since Garvey, political leaders in Africa and the African Diaspora have attempted to implement his philosophy, but have come up against resistance from outside powers as well as forces from within the African community. This thesis examines the impact of Pan-Africanism on two political leaders, post independence in their respective countries; Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Michael Manley of Jamaica. Ghana was the first nation in sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence from Britain. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first president was a first generation Pan-Africanist and one of the architects of Pan-Africanism influenced by Marcus Garvey. Jamaica was the first English speaking Caribbean nation to gain independence from British rule. Michael Manley, Jamaica's fourth prime minister was influenced by Garvey and Nkrumah. The thesis assesses the views of Ghanaians and Jamaicans living in a North Eastern part of the United States. Two surveys were used to ascertain the participants' perception of the contributions made by Kwame Nkrumah and Michael Manley in liberating African people in their respective nations. Two hundred and twelve participants were recruited for both surveys. The participants comprised of seventy two Ghanaians and eighty seven Jamaicans. In addition, nationals of other African and Caribbean nations participated. The results revealed that Kwame Nkrumah and Michael Manley played important roles in liberating African people in their respective countries. Further, the results revealed that Nkrumah and Manley worked to improve the living standards of their citizens in their respective countries. Implications of the survey are that had Nkrumah and Manley been given more time in office, the citizens of their respective nations would today be beneficiaries of a vastly improved living standard.
