Reviewed by George M.

Indeed, since leaving offi ce in 2001, after him serving 19 years as head of state, Ghanaians are still waiting to read the memoirs of former President J.J. Rawlings. The culture of documenting one’s experiences is not popular among literate Ghanaians. The trail blazed by some nationalist leaders including Kwame Nkrumah’s Ghana: The autobiography of Kwame Nkrumah (1957); Joe Appiah’s, Joe Appiah: The autobiography of an African patriot (1996); Mumuni Bawumia’s, A life in the political history of Ghana: Memoirs of Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia (2004), among others, was not sustained. 276Not many public and civil servants have written about their working experiences either. From this perspective, Zakariah Ali’s book is a welcome addition to the few personal memoirs of former public and civil servants. More importantly, Ali is among a handful of fi rst-generation educated northerners to have attempted to write their experiences that transcended Ghana’s geographical regions. Zakariah Ali’s book is a synthesis which attempts to recount important national moments through a personal lens. Retirement, in most cases, leads to boredom, and it was this problem that Ali used to his advantage.

By tracing how Soviet connections shaped Ghana’s post-colonial economic ideologies, its Pan-African program, and its modalities of citizenship, this dissertation contradicts literature that portrays African leaders as misguided political-economic theorists, ideologically inconsistent, or ignorant Marxist-Leninists. Rather, I argue that Nkrumah and Ghana’s postcolonial government actively formed new political economic ideologies by drawing from Lenin’s state-capitalist framework and the Soviet Economic Policy (NEP) to reconcile capitalist policies under a decolonial socialist umbrella. Moreover, I investigate how ordinary Africans—the working poor, party members, local and cabinet-level government officials, economic planners, and the informal sector—grappled with ii and reshaped the state’s role and duty to its citizens, conceptions of race, Ghana’s place within the Cold War, state-capitalism, and the functions of state-corporations.
