Kwame Nkrumah

A Case Study of Religion and Politics in Ghana

af Ebenezer Obiri Addo

This book examines how Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first post-colonial political leader legitimized his rule. It argues that Nkrumah found in religion a way to weld ethnicnically diverse groups with primordial attachments together. Through his employment he was able to spearhead the building of a nation he named Ghana.
