In the Service of God and Humanity: Conscience, Reason, and the Mind of Martin R. Delany
"Martin R. Delany (1812–1885) was one of the leading and most influential Black activists and nationalists in American history. His ideas have inspired generations of activists and movements, including Booker T. Washington in the late nineteenth century, Marcus Garvey in the early 1920s, Malcolm X and Black Power in 1960s, and even today's Black Lives Matter. Extant scholarship on Delany has focused largely on his Black nationalist and Pan-Africanist ideas. Tunde Adeleke argues that there is so much more about Delany to appreciate. In the Service of God and Humanity reveals and analyzes Delany's contributions to debates and discourses about strategies for elevating Black people and improving race relations in the nineteenth century.
Adeleke examines Delany's view of Blacks as Americans who deserved the same rights and privileges accorded Whites. While he spent the greater part of his life pursuing racial equality, his vision for America was much broader. Adeleke argues that Delany was a quintessential humanist who envisioned a social order in which everyone, regardless of race, felt validated and empowered.
Through close readings of the discourse of Delany's humanist visions and aspirations, Adeleke illuminates many crucial but undervalued aspects of his thought. He discusses the strategies Delany espoused in his quest to universalize America's most cherished of values—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—and highlights his ideological contributions to the internal struggles to reform America. The breadth and versatility of Delany's thought become more evident when analyzed within the context of his American-centered aspirations. In the Service of God and Humanity reveals a complex man whose ideas straddled many complicated social, political, and cultural spaces, and whose voice continues to speak to America today."

Exilic Pan-Africanism: Refocusing Kwame Nkrumah's Conakry Years, 1966–1971
This article looks at the years spent by Kwame Nkrumah in forced exile after the military coup in Ghana 1966 ousted him from power. Looking at his letters in combination with Nkrumah's own published writings of the time, the Conakry years turn out to be pivotal moments in the evolution and maturation of Nkrumah's revolutionary philosophizing. Critical examination and analysis of this phase provide clearer insights into the complexities and ambiguities of Nkrumah's thinking, and deeper understanding of the blueprints he developed for Africa's leadership of the global struggles of oppressed humanity. The article is structured according to the three themes which dominated Nkrumah's Conakry years: First, ideas about how to regain what was lost in Ghana; second, mapping out blueprints and strategies for the leadership role Africa would assume in the global revolution; and third, responses to, and realigning with, the expanding and problematic diaspora contexts of the struggle.
