Engage with work from revolutionary scholars and leaders like Kwame Nkruma to understand how communities in Ghana think about revolutionary praxis and theories of liberation today. Students will visit important and historic sites, meet with local community leaders and organizations, and visit villages outside of the city center to learn more and explore these themes. All the while, students will dive into the vibrant cultures of Ghana, engage with the arts/food scene, learn how to make traditional crafts, participate in dance & drumming workshops, and visit various major cities and outlying villages. This program is an in-depth exploration of Pan Afrikan social movements in Ghana, and their reverberations today.
