Confronting the Unspeakable: Imperialism and Neo-Colonialism in Africa Today
PAST EVENT | 21 May 2015 19:00
The Oxford Pan-Afrikan Forum (OXPAF) aims to supplement this year's Oxford Africa Conference with an event designed to foster awareness and discussion of some of the forces which are too often neglected in 'business roundtable'-style discussions about the continent: the role of Western imperial powers like the US-UK, and NATO and neocolonial forces like the World Bank, IMF, and elite-pacting African governments which do their bidding.
We are happy to invite two special guest speakers to help us confront these 'unspeakable' forces:
Kofi Mawuli Klu is a Ghanaian activist, global justice campaigner, and advisor to the Pan-Afrikan Fora International Support Coordinating Council (PAFISCC). He's a leading member of the Pan-Afrikan Reparations Coalition in Europe (PARCOE) and sits on the board of the Global Afrikan People's Parliament (GAPP).
Dan Glazebrook is the author of the book "Divide and Ruin: The West's Imperial Strategy in an Age of Crisis" (2013). He is also a teacher, activist, and journalist whose work has been featured on various media outlets from the Guardian to Russia Today.
