Neo-colonialism

The Last Stage of Imperialism

by Kwame Nkrumah
Contributors: Dominic TweedieJanet Blackquill

This insightful work delves into the complex dynamics of neo-colonialism, a modern form of imperialism where former colonial powers continue to exert control over newly independent nations through economic and political means. The book argues that despite the formal end of colonial rule, the economic structures and international systems established during colonial times persist, allowing powerful nations to manipulate and exploit the resources and labor of less developed countries. It highlights the subtle mechanisms of influence, such as foreign aid, multinational corporations, and international financial institutions, which perpetuate dependency and hinder true sovereignty and development in post-colonial states.
