Nkrumah's "Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism"

Kwame Nkrumah's "Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism" argues that even after gaining independence, many African countries remain economically and politically dependent on former colonial powers. He describes neo-colonialism as a form of control where foreign entities influence the economy, politics, and resources of nations under the guise of independence. This dependence undermines true sovereignty and keeps countries in a cycle of exploitation. Nkrumah emphasizes that real liberation comes from breaking these ties and asserting genuine self-determination and economic independence.
