Description
From the Slave Trade to 'Free' Trade: How Trade Undermines Democracy and Justice in Africa
This collection of essays gathers articles from Pambazuka News, a leading publication on issues of trade and justice. The contributors explore how free trade policies have a profoundly negative impact on democracy and justice in Africa.
Drawing on lessons from the slave trade, studies of international finance institutions, and struggles by African people to make a living, these essays examine the effects of trade policies on informal street traders, healthcare systems, and community rights. The result is a 'profit first and people last' regime in Africa.
