This monograph provides a transdisciplinary exploration of postcolonial African development and sovereignty. Situated in the broader context of Africa s post-independence condition, where colonialism s formal end gave way to neocolonial realities, the book argues that understanding this condition requires not only historical investigation but philosophical reorientation. Chapters span a wide analytical terrain; from colonial-era legal and political structures to the ongoing economic and digital colonization of the continent. By threading together discussions on corruption, religion, youth movements, gender, Pan-Africanism, and trade, the book constructs a holistic and intersectional narrative of Africa s unfinished liberation. The author builds on the works of Frantz Fanon, Ng g wa Thiong o, Samir Amin, Walter Rodney, and Achille Mbembe, proposing that the path forward lies in epistemic sovereignty, cultural reclamation, economic delinking, and continental unity.
Merging African history, political theory, cultural studies, and global economics to provide a holistic critique and vision of Africa s postcolonial condition and potential, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of African studies, philosophy, postcolonial studies, development studies, sociology, and global studies, practitioners in African Union institutions, NGOs, and think tanks, as well as anyone generally interested in African liberation discourse.
