Bronwen Everill on the history of Western economic thought about Africa and why European and American interventions fail.

"A thought-provoking analysis of Africa’s relationship with economic imperialism" Astrid Madimba and Chinny Ukata, authors of It’s A Continent

”This book outstandingly analyses the shortcomings of a certain approach to thinking about Africa, and it implicitly indicates the other side of the coin: the forces for change that will continue to shape the continent from within” Kofi Adjepong-Boateng, Centre for Financial History, University of Cambridge
