"A good critique of post-colonial development in Africa, though liberal and not a radical analysis on the imperial relationships that some might argue were purposefully constructed between African nations and Europe and the U.S."
"While the writing style in this book takes some time to get used to following, the author has a lot to say with some very valid points. It made me think."
"Whatever the author had to offer from the book was lost on me. Fighting to stay awake through the dry, boring prose was an uphill and, ultimately, losing battle."
