One of the tertiary works addressing Nkrumah's contribution to Pan-African agency and thought is the edited compilation titled, The life and work of Kwame Nkrumah:  Papers of a symposium organized by the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, Legon (Arhin, 1993).  Various scholars, politicians and per functionaries participated in the symposium and this book is a collection of culled presentations.  The text is structured in the three broad areas of social, political, and economic thought.  The authors represent various ideologies and perspectives.

Considering that Ghana became a significant base for Nkrumahist-guided agency and the organization of Ghana played a key role in Nkrumah's emancipatory strategy, this book was of a special value. The book largely focused on Nkrumah's works as a Ghanaian national by Ghanaian contributors.  One of the most valuable articles within the text was the one written by Takyiwah Manuh on women and their organizations during the time of the CPP.  The Ghanaian root of the scholars adds an authentic profile to Nkrumah the Ghanaian.  The downside of this local presentation is that Nkrumah the Pan-African nationalist is not strongly presented.  Thus, while professing to address the life and times of Nkrumah, the presentations do so only in part.  Nevertheless, the book offers a treasure chest of local assessments.
