    Walter Rodney’s How Europe Underdeveloped Africa was especially enlightening for me. His other works, along with Frantz Fanon’s body of work, are essential reading imo

      Neo-colonialism by Fanon Nkrumah is a great book! I really need to get around to reading the rest of his body of work.

      Edit: I mixed up authors. I’d read Wretched of the Earth by Fanon. Neo-colonialism was Kwame Nkrumah who also did some great work.
