Book Description
BY Sheikh Muhammad Aminu Yakub Bamba Sheikh Muhammad Aminu Yakub Bamba was born in Accra, the capital of the Republic of Ghana then Gold Coast in the middle of the year 1950. He started learning the Alphabets of Arabic and the Holy Quran in a Makaranta (School) at New Town in the Capital. His father Alhaji Yakubu Bamba sent him to his niece Hajia Habibah and her husband (who is his father’s cousin) Alhaji Ahmad Musah in Ejura-Ashanti to continue learning the Holy Qur’an when he was ten years old, that was in 1960. In 1963, he was sent to Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana, to one Mallam called Alhaji Yakubu Ishaq to continue his learning of the Holy Quran. In January 1966, he was brought back to Ejura at the request of his elder cousin Hajia Habibah, and then sent to L.A. No. 1 Primary school by her, to fulfill the advice of his departed father. He left the school after only two terms, because of a confusion between him and a teacher who wanted to cheat him. So he was absent from class room up to the end of the following term, when he was moved to T.I. Ahmadiyah Primary School in Ejura – Ashanti. In 1969, he was pulled out from the school because of his intelligence, with the reason that he would become a Christian if he continued, because all the teachers at that time were Christians. And that was the end of classroom for the then young and intelligent man. In 1972, he decided to go back to Tamale on his own to continue his Arabic and Islamic education, and teaching children Arabic Alphabets and recitation of the Holy Qur’an. In 1976, he decided to go to Kano in the Northern Nigeria to continue his education, where he learnt various courses: Islamic law, Arabic language, Arabic grammar, Etymology, Commentary of the Holy Quran, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) Traditions. He 6 specialized in Islamic law of inheritance. He came back to Ghana in 1983 and established a school in Ejura called: Ihya-ud-dini Islamic School, popularly known as Mallam Aminu’s Islamic School in 1984. The school was adopted by the Government in 1998, and is doing well in the West African Examinations. His duties are: Teaching, Preaching and Writing Several Islamic and Knowledgeable books. He has over fifty (50) books to his credit currently, ranging from prose to poetry, or poetical composition. One of his most important books is this book "The Independence Day of Ghana”. Praise is only for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. May the Almighty Allah bless you all. Ameen.

An Economic History of Ghana
Author: Ivor Agyeman-Duah
Publisher: Ayebia Clarke Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
"This is one of the best books reflecting on Ghana's half-a-century of often tumultuous transformation. Ivor Agyeman-Duah has gathered together a group of scholars, educators and government, business and civil society leaders to debate the trajectory of Ghana's economic history. Their views centre on three fundamental themes: structures and institutions in a postcolonial economy, the role of public policy, stimulus and innovation." "A timely volume as Ghana celebrated its 50th Anniversary of Independence in 2007 under President Kufuor's 2-terms of eight-years of relatively peaceful democratic rule. Contributors include: Jeffrey D. Sachs, Anthony Akoto-Osei., Richard Anane, Joyce Aryee, Ellen Bortei-Doku Aryeetey, Ernest Aryeetey, Moses Asaga, Ken Ofori-Atta, Gareth Austin, Annan Arkyin Cato, Mary Chinery-Hesse, T. Oteng-Gyasi, E. Gyimah-Boadi, Dirk-Jan Omtzigt, D.K. Osei, Isaac Osei, Nii Moi Thompson and Charles Wereko-Brobbey, et al." "This is unquestionably one of the best contemporary economic history books about Ghana drawing on the expertise and knowledge of Ghanaians as well as international experts and leading lights to reflect on 50 years of Ghana's economic challenges and achievements." "Contributors include leading economists such as Jeffrey D. Sachs, Earth Institute, Columbia University and Advisor to the UN Secretary General; eminent Ghanaian scholars such as Professor Ernest Aryeetey of the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research, University of Ghana; and Mary Chinery-Hesse, Chief Advisor to the President of Ghana. The contributors focus on three aspects: Structures and Institutions in a Postcolonial Economy: A Vampire Economy with a Silver Lining and Crossing the Jordon: Stimulation and Innovation with a Foreword by Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka." "This volume will be a valuable tool for studies on African Economic History with specific emphasis on Ghana but could also double as a yardstick for comparing the economic histories of other well performing African economies such as Botswana, Mauritius, Cape Verde, Namibia and South Africa - according to the World Bank annual good governance rankings released in 2006."--BOOK JACKET.

American Africans in Ghana
Author: Kevin K. Gaines
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 0807867829
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
In 1957 Ghana became one of the first sub-Saharan African nations to gain independence from colonial rule. Over the next decade, hundreds of African Americans--including Martin Luther King Jr., George Padmore, Malcolm X, Maya Angelou, Richard Wright, Pauli Murray, and Muhammad Ali--visited or settled in Ghana. Kevin K. Gaines explains what attracted these Americans to Ghana and how their new community was shaped by the convergence of the Cold War, the rise of the U.S. civil rights movement, and the decolonization of Africa. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's president, posed a direct challenge to U.S. hegemony by promoting a vision of African liberation, continental unity, and West Indian federation. Although the number of African American expatriates in Ghana was small, in espousing a transnational American citizenship defined by solidarities with African peoples, these activists along with their allies in the United States waged a fundamental, if largely forgotten, struggle over the meaning and content of the cornerstone of American citizenship--the right to vote--conferred on African Americans by civil rights reform legislation.

Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution
Author: C. L. R. James
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478007125
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
In this new edition of Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution, C. L. R. James tells the history of the socialist revolution led by Kwame Nkrumah, the first president and prime minister of Ghana. Although James wrote it in the immediate post-independence period around 1958, he did not publish it until nearly twenty years later, when he added a series of his own letters, speeches, and articles from the 1960s. Although Nkrumah led the revolution, James emphasizes that it was a popular mass movement fundamentally realized by the actions of everyday Ghanaians. Moreover, James shows that Ghana’s independence movement was an exceptional moment in global revolutionary history: it moved revolutionary activity to the African continent and employed new tactics not seen in previous revolutions. Featuring a new introduction by Leslie James, an unpublished draft of C. L. R. James's introduction to the 1977 edition, and correspondence, this definitive edition of Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution offers a revised understanding of Africa’s shaping of freedom movements and insight into the possibilities for decolonial futures.

Worldmaking After Empire
Author: Adom Getachew
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691202346
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Decolonization revolutionized the international order during the twentieth century. Yet standard histories that present the end of colonialism as an inevitable transition from a world of empires to one of nations—a world in which self-determination was synonymous with nation-building—obscure just how radical this change was. Drawing on the political thought of anticolonial intellectuals and statesmen such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, W.E.B Du Bois, George Padmore, Kwame Nkrumah, Eric Williams, Michael Manley, and Julius Nyerere, this important new account of decolonization reveals the full extent of their unprecedented ambition to remake not only nations but the world. Adom Getachew shows that African, African American, and Caribbean anticolonial nationalists were not solely or even primarily nation-builders. Responding to the experience of racialized sovereign inequality, dramatized by interwar Ethiopia and Liberia, Black Atlantic thinkers and politicians challenged international racial hierarchy and articulated alternative visions of worldmaking. Seeking to create an egalitarian postimperial world, they attempted to transcend legal, political, and economic hierarchies by securing a right to self-determination within the newly founded United Nations, constituting regional federations in Africa and the Caribbean, and creating the New International Economic Order. Using archival sources from Barbados, Trinidad, Ghana, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, Worldmaking after Empire recasts the history of decolonization, reconsiders the failure of anticolonial nationalism, and offers a new perspective on debates about today’s international order.
