CALL FOR PAPERS (deadline for submissions extended to February 15, 2012)*
2nd Biennial Kwame Nkrumah International Conference (KNIC2), September 21-24, 2012 JOINTLY ORGANIZED BY KWAME NKRUMAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY (OF CANADA) VENUE: THE KWAME NKRUMAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, KUMASI, GHANA The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Vancouver, Canada, invite you to participate in the 2nd Biennial Kwame Nkrumah International Conference at the beautiful campus of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana. THEME: “Africa’s Many Divides and Africa’s Future” “If in the past the Sahara divided us, now it unites us.” Dr. Kwame Nkrumah declared some fifty years ago. Keenly aware of Africa’s many artificial divides, Nkrumah was determined to lead a revolution that would bridge those divides. One way to achieve this goal, Nkrumah proposed, was a continental pan-African government, which would provide the African people the opportunity to pool and marshal their enormous real and potential economic, human and natural resources for the optimal development of their continent. A continental union government, Nkrumah was convinced, would ensure that Africa ended the divisions created by the trilogy of enslavement, colonization and neo-colonization of Africans. Nkrumah was concerned by other divisions as well; those created by time/history, nature and above all those created by Africans themselves, such as ethnic/ racial, and religious discrimination, classism, sexism, ageism, as well as atavistic and backward traditional practices, includi! ng ‘tribalism’ and patriarchy. Nkrumah had long predicted that unless Africans formed a political and economic union to address the continent’s acute problems, the raging ‘revolutions’ in the north of the continent, religious, and ethnic strife and civil wars in other parts of Africa were inevitable. He warned that unless urgent steps were taken to bridge Africa’s divides, Africans would be warring among themselves as their detractors and neo-colonialists hide behind the scene pulling “vicious wires” to cut “each other’s throats.” For him, these upheavals are all masked economic “wars.” In other words, these wars and unrests are struggles over scarce economic resources and scrambles to control political power. Religion and “tribalism” are mere fronts for deep-seated grievances over economic deprivation.
Topics to be discussed include, (but not limited to) the following: The Northern Africa-Southern Africa Divide The Linguistic Divide The Class Divide The Ethnic Divide The Ideological-Political Divide The Gender and Sexuality Divides The Generational Divide The Religious Divides The Rural-Urban Divide The Afro-Pessimism-Afro-Optimism Divide The Continental Africa-Diaspora Africa Divide The Intellectual-Non-intellectual Divide The Elitism-Non-Elitism Divide The Global South-Global North Divide The Cold War Ideological Divide (the Soviet-East-American-West) Divide The Post-Cold War Divide (s) The slaver-raiders/sellers and the enslaved Divide The rhetoric (theory)/action (practice) Divide

In paralyzing desparation I discovered this unique cancer remedy web-site, and it transformed my way of looking at most cancers.
