Professor Anyang' Nyongo‘s tribute to fellow scholar Ali Mazrui

Professor. Ali Al'Amin Mazrui

Nairobi, Kenya: I have just heard of the passing on of my Professor. Ali Al'Amin Mazrui from his dear wife Pauline today. My wife Dorothy and I are in deep shock since we were talking to Pauline while in California last week, that we would be visiting them next month.

With the demise of Ali the curtain has fallen on a generation of African social science that he dominated with his global approach to social analysis, philosophical insight into social phenomena and the use of the English language that was uniquely Mazruic.
