Abstract: This article explores the ideas and activities in and around the works and life of Ghanaian writer Ayi Kwei Armah. It examines Armah's early Pan-Africanist convictions, as well as his literary and extra-literary politics. It provides information on Armah's early education and how colonialism shaped his life. It claims that the same people who perpetuated Africa's neo-colonial state also funded Armah's early education in the U.S. It also discusses the role of Harvard University in Armah's intellectual and political development.
