Book Description

Publication Date: 4 May 2010

Dr Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem's untimely death on African Liberation Day 2009 stunned the Pan-African world. This selection of his Pan-African Postcards, written between 2003 and 2009, demonstrates the brilliant wordsmith he was, his steadfast commitment to Pan-Africanism and his determination to speak truth to power. He was a discerning analyst of developments in the global and Pan-African world and a vociferous believer in the potential of Africa and African people; he wrote his weekly postcards for over a decade. This book demonstrates Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem's ability to express complex ideas in an engaging manner. The Pan-African philosophy on diverse but intersecting themes presented in this book offers a legacy of his political, social and cultural thought. Represented here are his fundamental respect for the capabilities, potential and contribution of women in transforming Africa; penetrating truths directed at African politicians and their conduct; and deliberations on the institutional progress towards African Union. He reflects on culture and emphasises the commonalities of African people. Also represented are his denunciations of international financial institutions, the G8 and NGOs in Africa, with incisive analysis of imperialism's manifestations and impact on the lives of African people, and his passion for eliminating poverty in Africa. His personality bounces off the page - one can almost hear the passion of his voice: 'Don't agonise! Organise!'

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting book 21 April 2013

By Samantha Williams

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

A great collection of writing by Tajudeen, very informative and interesting. Controversial themes tackled smoothly and concisely, would reccomend to anyone interested in politics, economics and development especially within Africa. Inspirational words flow out of the pages, but also is a reminder to those who blindly have faith in certain UN policys and NGOs.

Organised in a way that keeps you reading
