This is a weekly thread in which we read through books on and related to imperialism and geopolitics. Last week's thread is here.
The book we are currently reading through is How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. Please comment or message me directly if you wish to be pinged for this group, or if you no longer wish to be pinged.
This week, we will be reading the first and second sections, "The Supposed Benefits of Colonialism to Africa", and "Negative Character of the Social, Political, and Economic Consequences" of Chapter 6: Colonialism as a System for Underdeveloping Africa.
Next week, we will be reading the third and last sections, "Education for Underdevelopment" and "Development by Contradiction" of Chapter 6: Colonialism as a System for Underdeveloping Africa.
I don't know anything about that book! So I say we go for it. I'm also a bit fan of Losurdo and would read anything by him here, though it seems we have a focus on imperialism which he has less of.
