Genres

Neocolonialism

Neocolonialism, as a book category, gathers works that explore how imperial power persists after formal decolonization through economic, political, cultural, and technological means rather than direct rule. Titles in this genre examine mechanisms such as debt and aid conditionalities, trade regimes, multinational corporations and supply chains, resource extraction, militarization and security partnerships, media and language influence, and digital platforms that shape dependency and unequal exchange. Spanning theory, history, political economy, anthropology, journalism, memoir, and fiction, these books trace continuities from empire to globalization, highlight case studies across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, and foreground voices from the Global South and Indigenous communities. Common themes include development and sovereignty, migration and diaspora, identity and culture, environmental and climate justice, and movements for resistance, decolonization, and repair.
