Abstract:

Drawing on three postcolonial texts, this essay offers a critical defence of postcolonial thinking in the debate about Africa’s development experiences. It argues that this approach is fundamental in appreciating, analysing, and transforming the post 2015 development agenda, especially if it is revised to take neoliberalism more seriously than simply regarding it as ‘neocolonialism’.
