The United States Supreme Court and the Enforcement of African-American Rights
Judicial review has run the gauntlet of criticism ever since John Marshall declared in Marbury v. Madison that “It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is....” The critics have emphasized the incompatibility of judicial review with democratic values. In doing this, they have sometimes drawn, for effect, on the contrasting evolution of England and the U.S. on the issue. It is noted that the doctrine …

Setbacks to Political Institutionalisation by Praetorianism in Africa
Praetorianism has been authoritatively defined as a situation in which 'the military class of a given society exercises independent political power within it by virtue of an actual or threatened use of military force'.1A praetorian state, by elaboration, is one in which the military tends to intervene andpotentiallycould dominate the political system. The political processes of this statefavorthe development of the military as the core group and …
Terrorism
From the perspective of those regions of the world with shared experience in Western European colonial subjugation, exploitation, and humiliation, it is strange that the current discourse on "terrorism" has tended to identify third world actors as the main perpetrators of the scourge, while Western European societies are seen as its victims. It takes a peculiarly ahistorical and strained evaluation of causes and effects to arrive at such a conclu…
The African Publius
The title of this article betrays its comparative character: an attempt to outline in broad strokes the political experiences of the United States and Africa spanning 1787 and 1966. The first date marks the year of the Philadelphia Convention whose concern, as it developed, was to draw up an entirely new constitutional framework that was 'adequate to the exigencies of government and the preservation of the Union', in place of the 'weak, deficient…
The Supermarxists and Pan-Africanism
I still feel it (Marxism) has been one of the most important phenomena in history and one of the greatest catalysts for change and transformation of society. The mistake of orthodox Marxists was to assume that the Manifesto, published in 1847, contained immutable scientific truth [Djilas, 1976]. I think I have said enough to make it understood that it is neither Marxism or Communism that I renounce, but it is the use that certain people have made…
The Overlooked Spiritual Factor in Africa
There are various explanatory analyses of the instability and persistent underdevelopment in Africa. The general presumption points to a case of arrested development to begin with - the product of slavery and colonialism - a retardation that constitutes the inauspicious legacy on which newly independent African states have to build. It is argued that this ill-augury of colonial inheritance exerts a momentum of its own, intensifying in the post-in…
Kwame Nkrumah and Tom Mboya
Kwame Nkrumah's Presence in A.M. Obote's Uganda
Early in 1968 The Guardian published an article drawing up areas of similarity between the situation in Uganda and the latter stages of the Nkrmah regime in Ghana.1 In October of the same year, Obote, in solemn reminiscence of the events of February, 1966 in both Uganda and Ghana, pointed out that there was no coincidence whatsoever in the fact that political upheavals had occurred in the two countries simultaneously,, ensuing, in the case of Gha…
The Osagyefo, the Mwalimu, and Pan-Africanism
The notion of African continental government has run the gauntlet of criticism and ridicule in its day. Not a few African 'moderate' or conservative leaders and their agreeable tribe of western scholars have been only too keen to fire broadsides at it from time to time. Thus, Nigeria's Abubakar Balewa saw it as a 'nightmare'; a union government, he said, 'might come, so might world government'. To Dennis Austin the pan-African movement - 'in its …
