Samson Fisia is an African in the diaspora who forsook his thriving brokerage business in the US to return home to his native country of Kunsunda, a typical sub-saharan African country, to contribute his quota towards bringing it out of the doldrums of backwardness, poverty, and under development. To achieve this, he knew the best way would be to change the political culture of Kunsunda as when the politics is right, all else falls in place. Thus, he set up a movement - Movement for Change in the Political Culture of Kunsunda(MOCPIK). Unknown to him and his compatriots, the West was just about fed up with certain things, rather, fed up with the way certain things were going in Africa which they were loosing a grasp on, and were not happy about; thus, to rectify this anomaly, they embarked on a mission to recolonize her. This idea began with Britain, who webbed other fellow Westerners in, who subsequently loved the idea, approved it, and embraced it; with an agreement to recolonize colonies they left off as colonial masters. And for a test run, the former British colonial territory of Kunsunda was chosen to try out the idea, upon whose success fellow Westerners will move in, reconquer, and recolonize their respective former colonies. However, they put up a facade to the world they are going back to Africa for a myriad of issues including her inability to govern herself, migration issues, amongst others.So, while Fisia's movement was sanitizing Kunsunda, Britain had already drawn a road map to recolonizing her and set about achieving it. But the Africans unwittingly fell right into the hands of the Westerners and their plans as they found ready made facilitators for their hideous plan. And what are these facilitators? It is the African's inherent propensity towards corruption, greed, self centeredness, and dearth of leadership abilities. Thus, while Fisia and his movement tried and tried to change the political culture, they kept meeting with failure after failure as Kunsundans refused to change from their corrupt tendencies until frustrated, Fisia took his life. And it is this inalienable corrupt nature in Kunsundans, and Africans in general, that made the Britons succeed as they manipulated the Kunsundan economy and polity through her avaricious citizens with all sorts of treacherous instruments until they recolonized her. The stage was now clear for a complete continental recolonization.

Accra, 1958. Africa’s liberation leaders have gathered for a conference, full of strength, purpose and vision. Newly independent Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah and Congo’s Patrice Lumumba strike up a close partnership. Everything seems possible. But, within a few years, both men will have been targeted by the CIA, and their dream of true African autonomy undermined. The United States, watching the Europeans withdraw from Africa, was determined to take control. Pan-Africanism was inspiring African Americans fighting for civil rights; the threat of Soviet influence over new African governments loomed; and the idea of an atomic reactor in black hands was unacceptable. The conclusion was simple: the US had to ‘recapture’ Africa, in the shadows, by any means necessary. Renowned historian Susan Williams dives into the archives, revealing new, shocking details of America’s covert programme in Africa. The CIA crawled over the continent, poisoning the hopes of 1958 with secret agents and informants; surreptitious UN lobbying; cultural infiltration and bribery; assassinations and coups. As the colonisers moved out, the Americans swept in—with bitter consequences that reverberate in Africa to this day

In recent years, China and India have become the most important economic partners of Africa and their footprints are growing by leaps and bounds, transforming Africa's international relations in a dramatic way. Although the overall impact of China and India's engagement in Africa has been positive in the short-term, partly as a result of higher returns from commodity exports fuelled by excessive demands from both countries, little research exists on the actual impact of China and India's growing involvement on Africa's economic transformation. This book examines in detail the opportunities and challenges posed by the increasing presence of China and India in Africa, and proposes critical interventions that African governments must undertake in order to negotiate with China and India from a stronger and more informed platform.

African sexualities are dynamic, multi-faceted and resilient. However, people with non-heterosexual sexualities and gender variant identities are often involved in struggles for survival, self-definition, and erotic rights. Queer in Africa forms an entry point for understanding the vulnerabilities of queer Africans as shaped by social, cultural and political processes, aiming to provide innovative insights about contentious disagreements over their lives. The volume mediates Southern and Northern scholarship, directing attention toward African-centred beliefs made accessible to a wide audience. Key concerns such as identity construction and the intersections between different social forces (such as nationalist traditionalism and sexualities) are addressed via engaging chapters; some empirically based and others providing critical cultural analysis. Highly interdisciplinary in nature, Queer in Africa provides a key resource for students, academics, and activists concerned with the international support of sex and gender diversity. It will appeal to those interested in fields such as anthropology, film studies, literary studies, political science, public health, sociology, and socio-legal studies.

In this comprehensive and original study, a distinguished specialist and scholar of African affairs argues that the current crisis in African development can be traced directly to European colonial rule, which left the continent with a "singularly difficult legacy" that is unique in modern history. Crawford Young proposes a new conception of the state, weighing the different characteristics of earlier European empires (including those of Holland, Portugal, England, and Venice) and distilling their common qualities. He then presents a concise and wide-ranging history of colonization in Africa, from the era of construction through consolidation and decolonization. Young argues that several qualities combined to make the European colonial experience in Africa distinctive. The high number of nations competing for power around the continent and the necessity to achieve effective occupation swiftly yet make the colonies self-financing drove colonial powers toward policies of "ruthless extractive action." The persistent, virulent racism that established a distance between rulers and subjects was especially central to African colonial history. Young concludes by turning his sights to other regions of the once-colonized world, comparing the fates of former African colonies to their counterparts elsewhere. In tracing both the overarching traits and variations in African colonial states, he makes a strong case that colonialism has played a critical role in shaping the fate of this troubled continent.
