Abstract

This article discusses two books: "George Padmore's Black Internationalism" by Rodney Worrell and "The Pan-African Pantheon: Prophets, Poets, Philosophers" edited by Adekeye Adebajo. The first book focuses on George Padmore, a key figure in the struggle against colonialism in Africa and the Caribbean. Worrell provides an overview of Padmore's political thought and his involvement in various organizations. The second book is a collection of biographical profiles of individuals who have contributed to Pan-Africanism. The editor aimed to create a diverse and inclusive pantheon, but the selection has been criticized for its omissions and inclusions. [Extracted from the article]
