About the book

The New African Movement stretched over a century from about 1862 to 1960. It consisted of writers, political and religious leaders, artists, teachers and scientists who called themselves New Africans - specifically New African intellectuals - to distinguish themselves from the Old Africans. They felt they stood out as a new movement because they were engaged with creating knowledge of modernity rather than taking consolation and satisfaction in the old ways of traditional societies. It studies the key figures in this intellectual movement in order to create a better understanding.
