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 which 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. Thus a student of Africa is reduced to dependence upon short newspaper accounts of the various meetings of the leaders of the states involved, to brief references in more general works on African unity, and to conjecture.

Yet there are several bibliographic sources which are useful. Among these is Peter Duignan, “Pan-Africanism: A Bibliographic Essay,” African Forum, I, No. 1 (Summer 1965), 105-107, a brief survey of the most important works on Pan-Africanism. The subject is divided into three phases--the American reaction to racism, the drive for African independence, and the dream of continental unity. For materials concerning Ghana, the best reference is Albert F. Johnson, A Bibliography of Ghana, 1930-1961 (Evanston, Ill., Published for the Ghana Library Board by the Northwestern University Press, 1964). Of a more general nature are W. J. Hanna and J. L. Hanna, Politics in Black Africa (East Lansing, African Studies Center, Michigan State University, 1964); the annual United States and Canadian Publications on Africa, for years from 1960 (Washington, Library of Congress, 1962; Stanford, Calif., Hoover Institution, 1963-), an excellent source for references to periodical materials; and International Committee for Social Sciences Documentation, The International Bibliography of Political Science (Chicago, Aldine Publishing Co., 1952-).
