It is no exaggeration to assert that no serious work on deneocoloniality will be complete without a significant amount of discussion on Kwame NkrumahNkrumah, Kwame’s disquisition of neocolonialism—a cognate of the preceding concept: i.e., the use of economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence other countries, especially former dependencies. This is because he was the first to use the concept neocolonialism in the context of African countries undergoing decolonization in the 1960s, although it was coined by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre in 1956. The central postulate of NkrumahNkrumah, Kwame’s neocolonialism is as follows: for those who run it, neocolonialism denotes power without responsibility; for those who suffer under it, it describes exploitation without recompense.
