Great! I hope this includes decolonization of our curriculum.

Ill just put this here so we know what others are doing: x.com/orikron/status…

The mistake isn’t keeping colonialism/imperialism in the frame, the mistake is failing miserably in the task in tracing its legacies and mutations which are specific to Africa in order to understand how to untangle the knot. Colonialism is the abandonment of intracontinental trade flows because all the logistics infrastructure faces Europe. Colonialism is British Airways continuing to operate route monopolies across anglophone Africa. Colonialism is the cash crop economies which lock us into cycles of volatility. It’s the labour migrancy systems and colour bars which continue to impede technology and knowledge transfers. It’s the structural economic imbalance between colonial enclaves and the hinterlands. Imperialism is the entrenched wheat trap across west Africa built to offload America’s glut. It’s the linguistic barriers between ethnic groups which span across anglophone and francophone borders. It’s the legacy of large European trading firms which continue to operate as effective monopolies and oligopolies in consumer goods marking up prices on average 11% more in sub Saharan Africa compared to the global average while their home governments use access to their markets, sanctions and aid to uphold the privileged access to licensing and FX that they enjoy in African markets. The issue isn’t simply that they took stuff from us, the issue is that they built our borders and economies in the image of their extraction then continued to extract with rent seeking states as they killed off leaders or staged coups when Africans sought to break away whilst propping up some of the most brutal post independence regimes the continent has seen. Yes, only we can walk ourselves out of this predicament. However, when I see glib commentary like this presented as if it’s some interesting or useful insight it makes me all the more angry that Africa is almost never afforded the basic dignity of rigorous analysis.

💯 😭 😭
