Associate Professor Kamau Rashid authored an article entitled, "Beyond the Fetters of Colonialism: Du Bois, Nkrumah, and a Pan-African Critical Theory," published November 13 in Equity & Excellence in Education, DOI: 10.1080/10665684.2019.1672593.
The article seeks to explore the Pan-Africanism of W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963) and its interconnections with the Pan-African thought and practice of Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972) with respect to the capacity of education to serve as an engine of social transformation. Dr. Rashid contends that their ideas represent a liberatory philosophy of education, one that elucidates how education can serve the ends of social transformation.
