1. 1. Against Decolonisation

   Taking African Agency Seriously

   

   The book argues that popular calls to “decolonise” are often vague, romanticized, and politically unhelpful, and it urges a shift from slogan-driven rhetoric toward concrete, accountable politics that take African agency seriously. It critiques uses of decolonization that center symbolic gestures or Western institutional reforms, and instead proposes practical interventions — redistributive policies, institutional strengthening, reparative measures, and global political engagement — aimed at addressing the real, contemporary harms of colonialism and poor governance. The central claim is not that colonial harms should be ignored, but that effective change requires clear goals, pragmatic strategies, and the political empowerment of African people rather than nostalgia or abstraction.
