Overview of UCRA: The "New" Pan-Africanism – 2020 Published by Outskirts Press
Outskirts Press announces the latest highly anticipated political science, political ideologies and democracy book from Palm Coast, FL author, Edward H. Brown, Jr., MPA.
Palm Coast, FL, April 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The "New" Pan-Africanism - 2020: "United Continental Republic of Africa (UCRA)" by Edward H. Brown, Jr., MPA. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the political science, political ideologies and democracy category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/thenewpanafricanism2020 was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
“Brown’s book developed out of the crucible of experience and struggle. This work provides important details on the luminaries of the Pan African movement, including Garvey, Du Bois, Nkrumah, Padmore, Malcolm X, among others who emphasized that unity is a necessity for the development and advancement of Africa and of people of African descent. In describing the formation and development of the principles of Pan Africanism, the author provides fresh details on the relationship forged between continental Africans and Diasporan Africans. Equally significant, this work highlights the main processes in Africa and in the Diaspora that pose challenges for the fulfillment of the ideas of Pan Africanism. A key feature of this work is the promise of youths in forging the context for the development and advancement of the principles of Pan Africanism.”
- Dr. Marcia E. Sutherland, Chair, Department of Africana Studies, University at Albany

About the author:
Edward H. Brown, Jr. (Mwalimu Kwasi-Quayaja Amsata) was born and raised in Harlem during the heyday of the Rev. Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. and Malcolm X. As a teenager he earned the rank of “Eagle Scout” and became interested in politics. He received his baccalaureate degree in political science, with a minor in history, from Syracuse University and a Masters in Public Administration (MPA) from its prestigious Maxwell School. As a student at Syracuse, Ed was a founding member of the Student African American Society (SAS), the father of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library and the prime mover for the creation of the African American Studies Department. After college Ed returned to New York City to join the national staff of the Congress of Racial Equality as Director of Political Affairs. In this capacity he established the organization as a “consultative” NGO with the United Nations. He also traveled to Africa to attend the 12th Annual Summit of the Organization of African Unity. Ed moved to Albany, New York, in the 1980’s to work for the New York State Department of Health. He became a Management Fellow and worked in a number of positions over the years most significantly as the State Coordinator for the National Health Service Corps with the Division of Planning, Policy & Resource Development. His community service included serving as a “Big Brother” and Board member with Big Brothers Big Sisters and co-chair of the Black History Month Creative Expression Contest from 1997-2006. The contest was co-sponsored annually by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and One Hundred Black Men. In 2002, Ed won a citywide election to the Board of Education of Albany and was subsequently elected President of the Board by his colleagues. When his term expired he was employed as an Adjunct Professor with the Africana Studies Department of the University at Albany to teach “Leadership in the Black Community” at the undergrad level. Ed was also invited to lecture on Pan Africanism at the graduate level. In 2008, Ed and his lovely wife Wilhelmina KiJoti-Brown relocated to their retirement home in Palm Coast, Florida. Edward and Wilhelmina are now faithful members of that city’s Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. On October 4, 2010, Ed was blessed with a “new lease on life” via a kidney transplant operation performed by the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.
