Sumario: | If modern imperialism necessarily combines neoliberalism and“accumulation by dispossession” in peripheral sites like Africa alongwith increasing subservience to the USA’s indirect, neocolonial rule,the next logical step is to locate South Africa’s own position as regionalsubimperial hegemon within the same matrices. That requiresidentifying areas where imperialism is facilitated in Africa by thePretoria-Johannesburg state-capitalist nexus, in part through Mbeki’sNew Partnership for Africa’s Development and in part through theindependent (though related) logic of private capital. Finally, inresponse to this subjugation, we can consider what kinds of analyses,strategies, tactics and alliances are being posed by serious African antiimperialists.First, however, we must clarify imperialism’s militaristand geopolitical inclinations. |
