Summary:
The book presents a historical analysis of the impact of European colonialism on the economic and social development of Africa, arguing that the continent's current underdevelopment is a direct result of exploitative policies and practices that benefited Europe at Africa's expense. It examines the mechanisms of colonial domination, the complicity of African leaders, and the long-term effects on post-colonial African states.
Key points:
1. Colonial Exploitation: Rodney believes Africa's underdevelopment is due to European colonial exploitation, which drained Africa's wealth and resources for Europe's development.
