The New Africa:
Underdevelopment or Liberation?
Samar Al Bulushi, Glen Ford, Wazir Mohamed

Africa is portrayed as a tragedy in the mainstream media, the victim of bad leaders and bad luck. Yet if we scratch the surface, what we perceive as tragic is the result of years of underdevelopment. The legacy of slavery, colonialism and imperialism still effect the continent as many of the riches of Africa are still exploited,overwhelmingly to the benefit of the multi-nationals and the proverbial "Europe."
