However, the vision is all there in the Africa Union strategies:

1) One Africa Federation: United States of Afrika
2) One Passport for Africans/free access to all Africans to travel, live, trade, work in the country/continent-without idiot visa restrictions
3) 3 or 4 National languages-probably Kiswhahili, Arabic, English/French (the latter 2 especially unavoidable……in the immediate future.
4) One Education Policy!
3) One Foreign Policy and of course a seat in the Security council
4)One coherent Economic Policy(ies) -As sage Dr. Clarke reminds us-Africa is the richest continent on the planet
5) Rights of Abode for Africans in the Diaspora (Motherland Ethiopia needs those skills!)

Marcus Garvey’s vision lives! There is no solid reason why we can not implement the above in our life time:

But then it means that 50 or so presidents will lose their status immediately. The respective parliaments, civil service of the Berlin constructs that we call countries will be affected by unsettling changes.

snitches, opportunities, academics, preachers, moguls, pirates, killers, thugs, sabbotagge spoofs from within and without the continent are always at hand to keep us hopeless and cynical in this MOST LOGICAL OF VISIONS.

Let us demand ONE AFRICA NOW.

WE ARE ARICANS!

I suspect this should motivate many who find his perspective enlightening and transformative to want to explore more deeply his contributions, his research, and his ideas.

If you forgive the modesty (this is something Dr. Clarke would have said), there is a new study on the late scholar titled John Henrik Clarke and the Power of Africana History: Africalogical Quest for Decolonization and Sovereignty (Africa World Press, 2009). ISBN: 1-59221-627-7.

It’s my study. And it is the first book-length academic study of the late scholar.

Rather than primarily a biography of the great sage, this fascinating read explores Dr. Clarke’s intellectual contribution to U.S. and global African thought and culture, including African and African American history, Black Studies, liberation, and the concept of Afrocentricity.

Adorned with a magnificently attractive cover design, this book is ideal for those who are interested in learning more about Africana intellectualism and cultural thought in the 19th and 20th centuries.

It explores Dr. Clarke’s academic training in Harlem, his role as one of the major architects of Black Studies, and his contribution to African thought and culture in the United States, Africa, and the world.

I would welcome your review of the work.
