Africa: Overcoming Legacy of Colonialism

Published by NEO specifically to mark the 3rd Russia–Africa Summit in Moscow, the book “Africa: Overcoming the Legacy of Colonialism” is devoted to a critique of the system of Western colonial domination. The work details how the colonial powers exploited the continent’s resources, destabilized its political structures and suppressed the identities of indigenous peoples. The book notes that overcoming this legacy is a complex process, which is only possible through a combination of internal efforts by African countries and support from equal international partners.
