Explaining how the legacy of colonialism and the nature of the liberal economy play a significant role in the development of Africa today, keeping Africa poor and dependent, this book explains how trade liberalization, deregulation, and privatization had opened doors for the New Scramble for Africa. Green technology and the high demand for electronics have intensified Africa’s role as a supplier of raw materials, natural resources, and cheap labor and as a large market of more than one billion people in the global economy. This unique ethnographic study, with elements of autoethnography, starts with the author's journey to Bulyanhulu, Tanzania, one of the largest gold mines in Africa, and moves to a broader analysis that reveals the systemic violence of resource extraction. Focus groups, interviews, and observations demonstrate the lack of distributive justice and intersectional equality in the process of land acquisition and resource extraction, described by villagers in racialized and gendered terms as exploitative and part of a racist system that fails to provide a fair distribution of benefits to local people. Recolonizing Africa examines resource conflicts among local people, governments, and transnational corporations from Europe, North America, and Asia, revealing how global systemic violence and irresponsible business practices precipitate economic inequality between African and financially rich nations – threatening peace and security, indigenous rights, and the environment.

Samson Fisia is an African in the diaspora who forsook his thriving brokerage business in the US to return home to his native country of Kunsunda, a typical sub-saharan African country, to contribute his quota towards bringing it out of the doldrums of backwardness, poverty, and under development. To achieve this, he knew the best way would be to change the political culture of Kunsunda as when the politics is right, all else falls in place. Thus, he set up a movement - Movement for Change in the Political Culture of Kunsunda(MOCPIK). Unknown to him and his compatriots, the West was just about fed up with certain things, rather, fed up with the way certain things were going in Africa which they were loosing a grasp on, and were not happy about; thus, to rectify this anomaly, they embarked on a mission to recolonize her. This idea began with Britain, who webbed other fellow Westerners in, who subsequently loved the idea, approved it, and embraced it; with an agreement to recolonize colonies they left off as colonial masters. And for a test run, the former British colonial territory of Kunsunda was chosen to try out the idea, upon whose success fellow Westerners will move in, reconquer, and recolonize their respective former colonies. However, they put up a facade to the world they are going back to Africa for a myriad of issues including her inability to govern herself, migration issues, amongst others.So, while Fisia's movement was sanitizing Kunsunda, Britain had already drawn a road map to recolonizing her and set about achieving it. But the Africans unwittingly fell right into the hands of the Westerners and their plans as they found ready made facilitators for their hideous plan. And what are these facilitators? It is the African's inherent propensity towards corruption, greed, self centeredness, and dearth of leadership abilities. Thus, while Fisia and his movement tried and tried to change the political culture, they kept meeting with failure after failure as Kunsundans refused to change from their corrupt tendencies until frustrated, Fisia took his life. And it is this inalienable corrupt nature in Kunsundans, and Africans in general, that made the Britons succeed as they manipulated the Kunsundan economy and polity through her avaricious citizens with all sorts of treacherous instruments until they recolonized her. The stage was now clear for a complete continental recolonization.

This book argues that the fourth industrial revolution, the process of accelerated automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices via digital technology, will serve to further marginalise Africa within the international community. In this book, the author argues that the looting of Africa that started with human capital and then natural resources, now continues unabated via data and digital resources looting. Developing on the notion of "Coloniality of Data", the fourth industrial revolution is postulated as the final phase which will conclude Africa’s peregrination towards recolonisation. Global cartels, networks of coloniality, and tech multinational corporations have turned big data into capital, which is largely unregulated or poorly regulated in Africa as the continent lacks the strong institutions necessary to regulate the mining of data. Written from a decolonial perspective, this book employs three analytical pillars of coloniality of power, knowledge and being. Highlighting the crippling continuation of asymmetrical global power relations, this book will be an important read for researchers of African studies, politics and international political economy.

Although Africa is the most under-supplied region of the world for electricity, its economies are utterly dependent on it. There are enormous inequalities in electricity access, with industry receiving abundant supplies of cheap power while more than 80 per cent of the continent's population remain off the power grid. Africa is not unique in this respect, but levels of inequality are particularly pronounced here due to the inherent unevenness of 'electric capitalism' on the continent. This book provides an innovative theoretical framework for understanding electricity and capitalism in Africa, followed by a series of case studies that examine different aspects of electricity supply and consumption. The chapters focus primarily on South Africa due to its dominance in the electricity market, but there are important lessons to be learned for the continent as a whole, not least because of the aggressive expansion of South African capital into other parts of Africa to develop and control electricity. Africa is experiencing a renewed scramble for its electricity resources, conjuring up images of a recolonisation of the continent along the power grid. Written by leading academics and activists, Electric Capitalism offers a cutting-edge, yet accessible, overview of one of the most important developments in Africa today - with direct implications for health, gender equity, environmental sustainability and socio-economic justice. From nuclear power through prepaid electricity meters to the massive dam projects taking place in central Africa, an understanding of electricity reforms on the continent helps shape our insights into development debates in Africa in particular and the expansion of neoliberal capitalism more generally.

Approaching the subjects of empire and colonization in a new light, this survey states that the free global market and institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization are actually recolonizing Southern Africa. This polemic argues that the unalloyed working of capitalism--the manufacture and exacerbation of a hierarchy that enlarges the gap between the rich and the poor--is self-creating and self-sustaining. It is also locked into place by governments and their institutions, leaving no space for an alternative structure. Those increasingly unable to defend themselves against the free global market have been recolonized into this capitalist system.

Book Description Diagnosis and prescription. What went wrong since independence in the sixties, and what can be done to alleviate misery and suffering on the least developed and poorest continent, yet one endowed with an abundance of natural resources and hundreds of millions of people. The author critically examines the views of many people on the subject, including "recolonization" of the continent as advocated by some - among them a number of African diplomats and scholars as well as politicians including the prime minister of Sierra Leone in the nineties - and offers innovative solutions to Africa's perennial problems. A hard-hitting book by a Tanzanian academic author, the work is written in simple yet captivating prose, without scholarly pretensions or jargon, and is intended for members of the general public as much as it is for those of the academic community. Brutally frank and lucid in argument articulated from a Pan-African perspective. Author Biography GODFREY MWAKIKAGILE has written several books found in university and public libraries around the world. They include Economic Development in Africa; Africa and the West; Ethnic Politics in Kenya and Nigeria: A Comparative Study; Military Coups in West Africa Since the Sixties; The Modern African State: Quest for Transformation; and Nyerere and Africa: End of an Era, all of which are used as college text books.

Document from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, , language: English, abstract: It is without dispute that Africa is rich in diverse non-renewable natural resources and has a large market share for the production of various minerals. Over the years, corruption practices have festered in various institutions within Africa. Although different challenges have contributed to the collapse of the African economy, appropriate reforms can be developed. The expansion of the economic influence of China in Africa has given the Chinese government a comparative advantage in its bilateral trade with African countries. The continuous increase in the role of the Chinese government in African countries has been fostered by the political rulers in the continent. But what are the risks of the Chinese impact on Africa? Does Africa really profit? How can the African institutions work more effectively? Can the Chinese actions be interpreted as a recolonization of Africa? For some African nations, a partnership with China is irresistible because of the significant and urgent need for infrastructure, which China is willing to finance with relaxed but punitive and exorbitant repayment terms. Dr. Richard Young analyses the Chinese impact and its goals to assess the consequences for the African continent. He explains the problems of earlier colonization and connects them to mistakes being made in the present. The author gives practical advice how to deal with the situation and how to improve Africa’s institutional for more effectiveness.
