Abstract
- This paper explores Wiredu's critique of Marxism as a framework for a critique of "African Socialism," as conceived and propagated by three famous philosopher-statesmen of Africa - Nkrumah, Nyerere and Touré. The paper ultimately argues that"African Socialism," especially the variants espoused by the trio, may not after all hold the key to Africa's socio-political emancipation, as its proponents would want us to believe.
