''Neo-Colonialism, | ''Neo-Colonialism, The Last Stage of Imperialism'' discusses how [[Neocolonialism|neo-colonialism]] has become the main instrument of [[imperialism]], in place of the overt [[colonialism]] of the past, which Nkrumah explains is in a period of decline. Throughout the work, Nkrumah outlines the mechanisms of neo-colonialism while also listing numerous contemporary points of supporting evidence and providing commentary. In the early chapters of the book, he also sets out an argument for [[Pan-Africanism|African unity]] and its potential for destroying neo-colonialism in Africa, and notes in the book's conclusion that the foreign capitalists who exploit Africa's resources "long ago saw the strength to be gained from acting on a Pan-African scale" and that "the only way to challenge this economic empire and to recover possession of our heritage, is for us also to act on a Pan-African basis, through a Union Government."<ref name=":0" /> | ||
