Abstract
Kwame Nkrumah is known besides other things by his political and socially conscious texts, published or publically delivered. In this article, we bring four examples engaged works, in which he is talking about the fragile independence and freedom of newly created African states - the chosen texts were created shortly after the decolonization - about the meaning-lessness of the idea of absence of so-called precolonial African history, about the sense or more like pointlessness of the term of "third world" and finally about the pan Africanism, still present theory of African unity, which was very important to Kwame Nkrumah.
