This video is inspired by a writing pened by Kwame Nkrumah, the first prime minister (1957-1960) and president (1960-1966) of the Republic of Ghana, was the leader of the first sub-Saharan African nation to gain its independence. He subsequently became a leading figure in the campaign for the United States of Africa.
Exerpt from the book “Neo-Colonialism, the Last Stage of imperialism Coined by Kwame Nkrumah 1965”
Introduction
THE neo-colonialism of today represents imperialism in its final and perhaps its most dangerous stage.
In the past it was possible to convert a country upon which a neo-colonial regime had been imposed —
Egypt in the nineteenth century is an example — into a colonial territory. Today this process is no
longer feasible. Old-fashioned colonialism is by no means entirely abolished. It still constitutes an
African problem, but it is everywhere on the retreat. Once a territory has become nominally independent
it is no longer possible, as it was in the last century, to reverse the process. Existing colonies may linger
on, but no new colonies will be created. In place of colonialism as the main instrument of imperialism
we have today neo-colonialism.
The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has
all the outward trappings of international sovereignty. In reality its economic system and thus its
political policy is directed from outside.
The methods and form of this direction can take various shapes. For example, in an extreme case the
troops of the imperial power may garrison the territory of the neo-colonial State and control the
government of it. More often, however, neo-colonialist control is exercised through economic or
monetary means. The neo-colonial State may be obliged to take the manufactured products of the
imperialist power to the exclusion of competing products from elsewhere. Control over government
policy in the neo-colonial State may be secured by payments towards the cost of running the State, by
the provision of civil servants in positions where they can dictate policy, and by monetary control over
foreign exchange through the imposition of a banking system controlled by the imperial power.
