| Zusammenfassung: | In The Ideological Scramble for Africa, Frank Gerits examines how African leaders in the 1950s and 1960s crafted an anticolonial modernization project. Rather than choose Cold War sides between East and West, anticolonial nationalists worked to reverse the psychological and cultural destruction of colonialism.Kwame Nkrumah's African Union was envisioned as a federation of liberation to challenge the extant imperial forces: the US empire of liberty, the Soviet empire of equality, and the European empires of exploitation. In the 1950s the goal of proving the potency of a pan-African ideology shaped the agenda of the Bandung Conference and Ghana's support for African liberation, while also determining what was at stake in the Congo crisis and the fight against white minority rule in Southern and Eastern Africa. In the 1960s, the attempt to remake African psychology was abandoned and socio-economic development came into focus. Anticolonial nationalists did not simply resist or utilize imperial and Cold War pressures, but drew strength from the example of the Haitian revolution, which in 1791 had demanded the universal application of Europe's Enlightenment values. The liberationists of the post-war period wanted to redesign society in the image of the revolution that had created them. The Ideological Scramble for Africa demonstrates that the Cold War struggle between capitalism and communism was only one of two ideological struggles that picked up speed after 1945; the battle between liberation and imperialism proved to be more enduring |
