African intellectuals and the state of the continent: essays in honor of Professor Sulayman S. Nyang

This festschrift is composed in honour of a distinguished scholar and Pan-Africanist, Professor Sulayman S.

Nyang, whose career and intellectual pursuits spans more than 45 years - much of it at Howard University.

Nyang's contributions to African affairs transcend the scope of the academic world as he served as First Secretary and Head of Chancery of the Gambian Embassy in Saudi Arabia from 1975 to 1977, and consultant to the World Bank and United Nations agencies.
