It is not a panegyric or a flute played to an achieved person though honour is given. Rather it is a scholarly effort to assess the fortunes of the prolific man's ideas through the vastly changing vistas of African socio-political and economic developments. To achieve this, an array of scholars from cognated disciplines and characterized by various social distances from the doyen, have been invited. Azikwe and the African Revolution is a great contribution by scholars who apart from studying also have in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. It should not be seen as a compendium on the life, activities and times of Honourable Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe per se, although its attempts to represent the historical milieu of Africa in the struggle for emancipation and independence.THE FORMATIVE YEARS: His Cultural and Historical Roots; Formal Education: The British and American Alternatives; Azikiwe's Intellectual Origins; Azikiwe's Political Ideas: The Dream of the African Revolution; PAN-AFRICANISM AND AFRICAN NATIONALISM: Zik and the Pan-Africanist Movement; Rejection of Socialism; The Second World War; The West African Experience; Azikiwe and Nkrumah; NATION-BUILDING IN NIGERIA: Nigerian Nationalism: Crises of Ideas and Strategy; The NCNC and Nigerian Realities; Regional Premiership: A Test of Political Leadership; Governor-Generalship and the Presidency; Azikiwe and the Nigerian Civil War; DYNAMICS OF THE AFRICAN REVOLUTION: African Political Economy Since Independence; Neo-Colonialism in Theory and Practice; Military Rule and the African Revolution; Structural Adjustment and the African Reconstruction; Impediments to the African Revolution;enbiography85th birthday of Nnamdi AzikiweFestschriftHonourable Dr. Nnnamdi AzikiweBook
