About the Book

This book examines qualitatively and quantitatively the exploitation of Africa through colonialism and imperialism. These papers continue and build on previous qualitative analyses of the effects of imperialism and colonialism in Africa. They expand on that body of work. They introduce newer methods of measuring some of the benefits that have accrued to Europe and North America, from what might be considered to be abuse of dominance, through centuries of systematic underpayments and overcharges. The collection also adds to an ongoing process that is related to the growing work on what is often called "reparations." This book might, thereby, contribute, to a process of changing international development assistance policy. It would help create a basis for officially estimating the continuing gains from past and current actions against African economic, social and political institutions and systems. This edited volume, which showcases a diversity of scholars and their perspectives, attempts to establish benefits and damages from almost 600 years of international harm to the African continent.
