Produktbeschreibung

They overthrew the man. They could not kill the dream.

On a February night in 1966, while Kwame Nkrumah's plane sped toward a peace mission in Vietnam, CIA-backed soldiers stormed Ghana's Flagstaff House. They found no hidden millions-only three worn suits, a chipped coffee pot, and seventeen thousand books filled with dangerous ideas.

When Africa Remembered Its Name is more than history. It is a seismic reclamation, a blazing epic that resurrects the spirit of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, from the red earth of Nkroful to the charged halls of global power, exposing the betrayal that tried to silence a continent's awakening.

Larry Traveller's masterful narrative brings to life:

* The Boy - a dreamer standing in a storm, begging God for purpose. * The Revolutionary - the Lincoln University scholar who forged a weapon from Marxist theory and African wisdom, shaping a young Malcolm X in Harlem's hidden clubs. * The President - the visionary who built dams, factories, schools, even a nuclear program, while fueling liberation movements across Africa. * The Exile - a leader drafting Africa's blueprint for unity as illness ravaged his body.

This is also the story of the women who kept the fire alive: Nyaniba, the defiant mother whose love became a living curse. Fathia, the Egyptian first lady turned shield of quiet resistance, and the market women, students, and fishermen who guarded the truth with their lives.

From coded conspiracies in London tailor shops to the heartbreaking refusal of Guinea's Sékou Touré to return Nkrumah's body to the generals who betrayed him, this book unmasks the machinery of neocolonialism and celebrates the unstoppable will of a people reclaiming their destiny.

For readers of Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing, Marlon James's Black Leopard, Red Wolf, and the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, this is more than biography. It is a call to arms, a healing of memory, and a triumphant answer to the question:

What happens when a continent, long forced to forget, finally remembers its name?

Autorenporträt

Larry Traveller is a Ghanaian writer, poet, visionary storyteller, and Pan-African activist committed to unearthing buried truths and restoring the dignity of a continent long misrepresented. His work stands at the intersection of memory, resistance, and cultural resurrectionwhere oral tradition meets archival research and where the past is not merely remembered but reawakened.

As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Exodus to Africa Limited and the Exodus to Africa Foundation, Traveller leads a revolutionary mission to reconnect African descendants across the diaspora with their ancestral homelandnot as tourists but as builders, returnees, and co-authors of Africa's unfinished story. His advocacy blends grassroots mobilization, digital innovation, and cultural diplomacy, driven by the belief that Africa's liberation is incomplete without its scattered children.

When Africa Remembered Its Name is Larry's debut historical worka vivid and poetic excavation of Ghana's first President, Kwame Nkrumah, and the sabotage of his dream. Through meticulously reconstructed scenes, declassified documents, ancestral rituals, and imagined reckonings, the book exposes the global forces behind the 1966 coup and honors those who refused to forget.

Larry writes with the fire of a griot and the precision of a historian. His voice echoes that of a generation raised in exile, silence, and contradictionbut determined to reclaim the narrative. Whether speaking in marketplaces, on academic panels, or through digital platforms, he invites Africans everywhere to remember boldly, speak truthfully, and walk forward with ancestral clarity.

He lives between Accra, memory, and the rising dream of a united Africa.
