Primary
Source Data
For purposes
of analysis, Nkrumah's published speeches are organized into three categories:
The first
category primarily addresses admonishments on theory, ideology, and epistemic
perspectives. Questions of ethics and strategy also fall in this
category but more often overlap into the operational field. Operational
presentations often give specific directions on action to be taken by an
agency (e.g., movements, party, government, self-conscious organized social
sectors, police, youth). Incidental speeches address of events and
important activities that Nkrumah chose to interpret to selective audiences.
Speeches
deemed necessary for explaining Nkrumahist ideological positions were considered
"key speeches" and were selected because of their relative comprehensiveness
plus their frequency of appearance in Nkrumah's and other's written works.
Some speeches were used to highlight Nkrumah's speech style in an effort
to culturally locate his aesthetic and mobilization techniques.
