Africa's Re-colonization - Strategies for Africa and the U.S. left
Submitted by SaharaReporters on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 1:47pm
Panel Abstract:
Africa continues to be the source of much of the world's oil, minerals, diamonds, agricultural land and cheap labor. It has also become an attractive market for western goods, with its burgeoning middle class and millionaire elite. The U.S. now finds itself head to head with China and other Africa countries to ruthlessly exploit this new market – polluting water, land, and corrupting governments in the process. How can progressive movements in the U.S. and Africa link their struggles?
