Prof Willy Mutunga traces the origin of radical pan-Africanism since 1945 and the multi dimension approach in "The African world" and the Caribbean. He makes a clear distinction of the advent of Pan Africanism as People oriented and not "states" based, with proponents such as Tom Mboya, Julius Nyerere, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, W.E.B Du Bois, George Padmore and Ralph Bunche amongst many others. The conversation also reveals the role of Tanzania as a catalyst towards growth of Pan Africanism and notable retreats that happened over the years in the quest for Pan Africanism. Prof. Willy Mutunga also discusses about The dream of a United States of Africa and resistances towards achieving the solidarity. There are global dynamics affecting the growth and resurrections of the solidarity movement. We learn about Muamar Gaddafi's impact on the forward movement of radical pan Africanism.
