Cover of Seifudein Adem: Public Intellectuals and the Politics of Global Africa (PDF)

Ali Mazrui has been described as one of the most original thinkers that Africa has produced, and one of the top 100 living public intellectuals in the world today. This volume uses Mazrui’s life and work as a guide towards explaining the historical impact of black public intellectuals such as Julius K. Nyerere, Patrice Lumumba and Barrack Obama. The book explores not only politics and academics, but also religion, gender, class and civil-military relations, bringing together into the black experience both Plato’s concept of the "philosopher King" and V.I. Lenin’s notion of the ‘intelligentsia’
