The neoliberal grand slam which has drawn all of the world into the universe of capital flows and the expanded reach of corporate and military powers of the Global North (and it needs to be said of parts of the Global South such as China and Brazil) has made Nkrumah's ideas on the power of finance capital and Fanon's ideas on the weaknesses of corrupt postcolonial elites feeding at the trough of their former colonial masters, more relevant than ever.Ĭhantelle Richmond, Kathi Wilson, in International Encyclopedia of Human Geography (Second Edition), 2020 Indigenous Health and the Social Determinants of Health There are certainly, as Young notes, close affinities between neocolonialism in the Nkrumah sense and certain aspects of postcolonial theory (see Postcolonialism). The anti-IMF movements across Africa in the 1980s and 1990s had, in this respect, more than a tinge of Nkrumah's original intent. The so-called neoliberal counterrevolution and the devastating consequences of structural adjustment and economic reforms in a large part of the Global South (and in Africa in particular) have given theories of neocolonialism a shot in the arm. It was, for a while, central to thinking of the theories of imperialism within a Marxist framework, but it fell out of intellectual fashion. It was a by-product of its largely African and Marxist origins, of the Bandung moment, and of the contradictions of decolonization as it unfolded in the wake of World War II and in the heart of the Cold War. Neocolonialism, more than anything, was a key marker of a certain sorts of 1960s Third World nationalism. Watts, in International Encyclopedia of Human Geography (Second Edition), 2020 Conclusion There are also close affinities between neocolonialism in the Nkrumah sense and postcolonial theory, but the latter always distanced itself from the sort of determinism and historical telos that accompanied so much of Leninist and orthodox Marxist accounts of empire. The anti-IMF movements across Africa in the 1980s and 1990s had, in this respect, more than a tinge of Nkrumah’s original intent. The so-called neoliberal counter-revolution and the devastating consequences of structural adjustment and economic reforms on a large part of the Global South (and Africa, in particular) has given neocolonialism a shot in the arm (seen in the various forms of anti- or alternative globalization movements). For a while, it was central to thinking of the theories of imperialism within a Marxist frame but it fell out of intellectual fashion.
