Abstract

In the late 1960s, Ghanaians joined the global conversation about Black Power. Despite the absence of President Nkrumah and attempts to dampen local interest in radical political movements, young Ghanaian students, musicians, and audience members were well informed of the global implications of white supremacy. Okuda examines how Ghanaians expanded the legacy of Black Power into an African context, seizing opportunities to connect with African Americans via popular media, exchange programs, and soul music to show their solidarity with the fight against racist policies and practices abroad and to stay vigilant against neo-imperialism at home.

加纳的黑人权力、原始灵魂和种族

20世纪60年代末，加纳人加入了关于黑人权力的全球讨论。尽管恩克鲁玛总统缺席，并试图抑制当地对激进政治运动的兴趣，但年轻的加纳学生、音乐家和听众都对白人至上主义的全球影响了如指掌。Okuda考察了加纳人如何将黑人权力的遗产扩展到非洲，抓住机会通过大众媒体、交流计划和灵魂音乐与非裔美国人联系，以显示他们与国外种族主义政策和做法的斗争团结一致，并对国内的新帝国主义保持警惕。
