NEO-COLONIALISM, THE LAST STAGE OF IMPERIALISM BY KWAME NKRUMAHThis is the book which, when first published in 1965, caused such an uproar in the US State Department that a sharp note of protest was sent to Kwame Nkrumah, and the $25 million American "aid" to Ghana was promptly cancelled. It exposes the working of International monopoly capitalism in Africa and shows how the stranglehold of foreign monopolies perpetuate the paradox of Africa: poverty in the midst of plenty.
