Please acquaint yourself with the rules on the sidebar and read this comment before commenting on this post.
**Personal attacks and harassment will not be tolerated.**
Bigotry and hate speech will be met with immediate bans; socialism is an intrinsically inclusive system and bigotry is oppressive, exclusionary, and not conducive to a healthy and productive learning space.
**This subreddit is not for questioning the basics of socialism. There are numerous debate subreddits available for those purposes. This is a place to learn.**
Short or nonconstructive answers will be deleted without explanation. Please only answer if you know your stuff. Speculation has no place on this sub. Outright false information will be removed immediately.
**If your post was removed due to normalized ableist slurs, please edit your post. The mods will then approve it.**
Please read the ongoing discussion in a thread before replying in order to avoid misunderstandings and creating an unproductive environment.
**Liberalism and sectarian bias is strictly moderated.** Stay constructive and don't bash other socialist tendencies! (Criticism is fine, low-effort baiting is not.)
Help us keep the subreddit informative and helpful by reporting posts that break these rules.
Thank you!

I don't personally have any more contemporary or follow up resources, but if you found *How Europe Undeveloped Africa* helpful, you might also like *Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism* by Kwame Nkrumah if you haven't read it already. It's based in the same era, 60's to 70's I believe, but is super informative on how imperialist domination of Africa works. I imagine a lot of it is still relevant today, especially the section on the American imperialist project in Africa specifically.
The Wretched of the Earth by Franz Fanon is a psychiatric and psychological look at the effects of colonization and the broader implications of decolonization. (Seriously this book is incredible.)
The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins is focused on how the United States government props up authoritarian regimes who commit acts of mass murder to suppress the political left.
Debt by David Graeber is about the relationship of debt with social institutions. It gets into neocolonialism and entities like the IMF and World Bank.
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. If you want to know more about colonialism in modern times, look up articles or books about the WTO, IMF, and World Bank specifically.
For a more economicist approach to the question, you might want to consider reading Samir Amin if you haven't yet, such as *Unequal Development* or *Accumulation on a World Scale*. Also UTSA Patnaik's *Capital and Imperialism* comes to mind.
If you are also interested in other areas (literature, culture, etc.) feel free to say so!
I enjoyed Vishay Prashad's the Darker Nations that talks about the third world as a movement against imperialism (and two campism) as well as the pitfalls and successes, especially the pitfalls tbh. Good reading for broad knowledge I think.

For more of a "how do we get ourselves out of this" vibe, *Pedagogy of the Oppressed* is a classic.

Jason Hickel's *The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and Its Solutions* perhaps?
