The Party under Fire 113

EDITOR’S NOTE

The 1977 edition of Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution is reprinted here in its original form with only minor insertions or deletions to clarify typos or supply dropped words.

All spellings and capitalization, along with most punctuation, remain as they appeared in the first edition despite any changes in common usage since 1977. For example, “Marxism” has been retained as “marxism.”

Readers may also note the spelling of “Nkrumaism.” The second commonly used spelling retains the “h” in Nkrumah’s name. Although both spellings have existed since the 1960s, the spelling “Nkrumaism,” used by C. L. R. James, was most common at the time (including in the Ghanaian press) while “Nkrumahism” has become more common in recent years.
