Produktbeschreibung

Existing paradigms such as "decoloniality" simplify the complex dynamics between former colonies and colonial powers. Such frameworks overlook the role of local elites in maintaining and even enhancing oppressive systems. They also imply that external forces are responsible for ongoing exploitation. This book tackles this concept head on by introducing a new methodology called "deneocoloniality."

Deoneocoloniality expands on decoloniality and neocolonialism. It argues that, while decoloniality focuses on the residual impacts of colonialism by external forces, it neglects the internal dynamics where former colonized elites play a significant role in perpetuating oppression for personal gain. The book presents socioeconomic and philosophical case studies to support deneocoloniality as a more comprehensive framework for understanding current realities in African countries.

Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of the intricate power structures affecting developing nations. The book provides a structured methodology for analyzing problems, emphasizing the importance of logical reasoning and collaborative efforts. It offers practical solutions based on deep analysis, moving beyond mere diagnosis to actionable recommendations. This approach aims to equip readers with the tools needed to develop policies and strategies that address both external and internal sources of oppression.
