'Patrick Bond's book provides a solid theoretical, empirical, and analytical framework showing and proving that the processes of looting the African continent, which started with the slave trade, have continued to this day'. Professor Issa Shivji, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania'A brilliant analysis and timely expose of the rapacious forces ranged against Africans today.' John Pilger‘An important contribution to the political analysis of the continent, as viewed on the inside.' ComAfrica, Brazil'This is a sophisticated book for a non-specialist audience, filled with rage at the self-serving drivel that passes for analysis of Africa in the mainstream and the deaths it is responsible for.' Ken Olende, Socialist Review
