This course examines the economic foundations of colonial rule in Africa and how colonial policies were structured to advance European interests. It explores systems such as taxation, forced labor, cash crop production, and trade control, and analyzes their impact on African economies and societies. Students will study how these policies reshaped traditional livelihoods, altered social and political structures, and influenced patterns of inequality and development. The course also highlights the lasting effects of colonial economic strategies on contemporary African states and their development trajectories.
