Overview

This is the final book in the series Not My Brothers' Keeper: How Africa Succumbed to Slavery, Colonialism and Neocolonialism. Book 1 tackles slavery, Book 2 tackles colonialism, and Book 3 now tackles the polymorphic nature of capitalism as it evolved into neocolonialism. Hands up if you think independence for African countries meant economic freedom. You are right to keep your hand down. Partial political independence was given grudgingly, and in some cases through the barrels of AK-47s, but economic independence was a mirage. The concept of neocolonialism refers to the economic interference of a powerful country in the affairs of an independent but economically weak state. But apart from the economic stranglehold, are you aware of the political, religious, social, psychological, and cultural aspects of neocolonialism? The West, in its usual them-and-us narrative, is often facetious and simplistic. The West likes to portray Africans as having some sort of inherent inability. They ignore their own perfidious legacy of slaving, colonising, and neocolonising that still blights the continent to this day. So many decades after independence, and yet most African countries still wallow in poverty despite huge agricultural potential and trillions of dollars of mineral wealth already extracted, with trillions more below ground! Why is this so? Is it because of inept leadership? Is it because of the sheepish nature of Africans? Is it because of that ""opium of the masses"", foreign religions? Is it because the former colonial masters have outsmarted their former colonies? Well, there is a veritable matrix of reasons that make neocolonialism so profitable for the Western world. Read the book to find out the reasons. Learn from an African, and not from the people who exploit Africans!
