| Abstract: | The appointment in March 1966 of Kwame Nkrumah as honorary president of Guinea was ostensibly made on the basis of an agreement signed by Nkrumah and Sékou Touré in 1958 founded the Union of Independent African States (UIAS, Ghana-Guinea, 1958-1960). The UIAS, subsequently the Union of African States (UAS, Ghana-Guinea-Mali, 1960-1963), has not been of great importance in the development of Pan-Africanism. Nkrumah's recent appointment probably caused more publicity for the UIAS-UAS than any other event in its history with the exception of its founding in 1958. Because of the quiet functioning of this organization, declared as no longer in existence by Touré in 1963, very little has been written about it. The present essay gives several bibliographic sources which are useful for the student of UIAS-UAS in its political aspects and its connection with Pan-Africanism. |
