The Captive New Afrikan Nation, the Politics of Solidarity, and the Ongoing Struggle for Liberation
In 1968, the world was changing. New nation-states were forming as former colonies revised relationships between Africa, Asia, and the “West.” Some fought hard for their liberation, and some were still fighting.
