Textul de pe ultima copertă
"Through the lens of neo-colonialism and global coloniality, the text revitalises the conventional debates on the logic of the UK’s interests in Africa, amidst the reality of Brexit and the resurgence of the ‘new scramble’ for Africa. Mark Langan interrogates the ‘celebrated’ conversations around Global Britain and British exceptionalism."
- Dr Adeoye O. Akinola, University of Johannesburg
"With an exceptionally in-depth examination of key geopolitical issues such as trade, aid, development finance and security, Langan uncovers how the same old colonial interventions and political rhetoric with racist undertones are being refashioned to perpetuate an emergent Empire 2.0."
- Dr Nathan Andrews, McMaster University
"Mark Langan offers a powerful critique… [the text] sheds light on the neo-colonial nature of these [Africa-UK] relations, but also highlights the ability of Africans to resist the ‘Global Britain’ project."
- Professor Mehdi Boussebaa, University of Glasgow
