Throughout this period, Black Studies advocates have consistently looked to African culture as a source of pride, enlightenment, and inspiration. However, they have overlooked the value of Christianity as a anti-colonial ideology created and employed by Africans in their struggle against European imperialism. I address this omission by examining Kwame Nkrumah's and the Convention People's Party's use of the Judeo/Christian faith as an anti-colonial philosophy between 1948 and 1966. I present this study as a single example of how Africans have used Christianity effectively as a libratory ideology against European colonialism during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Western Journal of Black Studies is the property of Washington State University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
