There is no discussion on Africa today that does not make reference to
the contradiction that exists between its wealth of natural resources and
the poverty of most of its people. Africa is not a poor continent, and
not all Africans are poor. Yet Africa is depicted as the world’s poorest
continent, where the majority of people live with no access to clean water,
decent health care, education and electricity, and struggle to survive in the
face of high levels of unemployment, poverty and inequality. This is the
reality we see all around the continent. The reason, according to Professor
Tatah Mentan, is that extractive foreign industries and the competition to
access natural resources envelop parasitic African governments in a web of
unaccountability, corruption, repression, and rent-seeking. The love affair
between many African governments and international corporations—and
the optimistic power of the “Africa rising” narrative—are obscuring harsh
realities, namely that many Africans are deprived of benefiting from the
exploitation of their own natural resources. In many of these high growth
countries, citizens now believe that they are paying too high a price for
economic growth, which does not trickle down to them. There is a new
wind blowing across the continent and it is bringing with it increasing
demands for Africa’s resources to benefit Africans. And past relations
between extractive imperialists and puppet African governments are
under scrutiny. This book dissects the dynamics of the politics of natural
resource extraction in Africa that resolves into a matter of class struggle.
This class struggle is visible at the level of combatting the workings of
capitalism and imperialism in the interest of the dominant international
class of corporatocrats and its African parasitic class, and simultaneously
mobilizing forces against those exploitative and oppressive interests. Tatah
Mentan’s book is therefore a MU ST READ for students, researchers, social
scientists examining the political economy of contemporary imperialism,
policy makers, and corporate managers.
TATAH MENTAN is an erudite Theodore Lentz Peace and Security
Studies Fellow and Professor of Political Science with enormous
contributions to knowledge in the global political economy of international
relations.
