Panaf Books

Active

Founded in 1968 by Kwame Nkrumah, then in exile in Conakry, after the London publishers of his earlier books refused to handle them following the 1966 coup that overthrew him in Ghana. Managed by his former research assistant June Milne from 89 Fleet Street, it bought up the remaining stock of his earlier books — saving them from pulping — kept them in print, and published the new books he wrote in exile, including his later Marxist works on class struggle and revolutionary warfare in Africa. It remains active.
