Africa's Journey: From Colonialism to New Imperialism

By Jauhari and Alka Jauhari

Africa experienced direct and indirect foreign interventions since the continent's colonization by the Europeans in the nineteenth century. These interventions have had political, economic and social consequences for the continent and its people. This book explores the journey of Africa under different periods of foreign intercession, beginning with colonial conquest, followed by the Cold War, subsequent globalization and the most recent phase of new imperialism. It sheds light on the legacies of these interventions in the form of unbroken cycles of war, conflict, poverty, underdevelopment and violation of human rights. The book ends on a positive note highlighting that many African countries in the new century are finding their way towards political stability and economic resurgence while also shunning foreign influence.
