I’m not going to read a book just because you posted it’s title.

Assuming you read the book, what did you find compelling?
Give us something to discuss beyond a title.

Some of her ideas probably appeared in this interview:


It’s funny because white lefties are doing practically what the colonialists they condemn did in the past. And contraception is a sacrament in their godless religion.

Colonialism was actually pretty good in some ways for Africa.
 
Well for one, it brought good economic gains to the colonies.
 
Most people don’t think colonialism has done much good for African countries
 
Probably because colonialism brought diseases, enslavement and unequal social relations.
 
We have to remember that the sale of slaves takes an exchange of seller and buyer.

Most black slaves were sold by black slave sellers.
 
In addition, the colonial past affects future generations.
Unfortunately, it is very hard for people to be independent, to think for themselves,to take and to use with brains what is free for them, to transform, to believe in their unlimited opportunities.
It is gradually possible to change, but for many nations the process of change is very dramatic, and very slow.

I don’t know about that. I am just stating the negatives that resulted from colonialism
 
Colonialism exploited their territories to benefit their country. It endangered and obliterated native languages and cultures. European colonialism introduced new patriarchal gender dynamics. In some African places, women had the power and autonomy to own and manage land

There were maybe some negatives, but I’m pretty sure worse negatives existed prior to colonization.
 
I’m not stating that these cultures existed perfectly before colonialism. Colonialism came with their own form of evil.
 
Such as human sacrifice, especially along the west coast of Africa.
