Abstract

The book "Africa: Colonizers' Unpaid Debt" edited by Irina Abramova explores the socioeconomic and political impact of European colonization on Africa. The authors argue that the transatlantic slave trade and colonial rule have had lasting effects on the continent, including mass poverty and economic disenfranchisement. The book examines the history of the slave trade, the atrocities committed by colonial powers, and the exploitation of Africa's resources. It also highlights the role of the USSR in supporting African liberation movements and advocates for collaborative efforts between Africa and Russia to reclaim sovereignty and challenge neocolonialism.
