Call Me an African Reclaiming Identity

Call Me an African, for That I Am: Reclaiming Identity, Heritage, and Freedom in the Shadow of Empire

A Proclamation of Legacy
To declare “I am African” is to confront a duality: a cradle of ancient civilizations and a battleground of colonial greed. From Mali’s gold to the Congo’s cobalt, Africa’s story is one of luminous kingdoms and relentless extraction—first by colonial plunder, now by neocolonial scheming. This book unflinchingly traces the scars of Divide et Impera, the colonial “divide and rule” that shattered societies, and exposes the “New Scramble for Africa,” where global powers and corporations exploit resources while preaching “Dead Aid” solutions.


Reclaiming Identity

·       Colonialism to Neocolonialism: How colonial borders, linguistic hierarchies, and cultural erasure evolved into modern-day debt traps, corporate land grabs, and puppet regimes.

·       Decolonisation as Resistance: Rejecting Eurocentric narratives, this book amplifies movements recentering Indigenous knowledge, languages, and Ubuntu—the philosophy that “I am because we are.”

Heritage: Stolen Wealth,Unbroken Spirit

·       Ancient Glory, Modern Theft: Celebrate the ingenuity of Great Zimbabwe’s architects and Timbuktu’s scholars, while dissecting how natural resources—oil, diamonds, lithium—fuel both corruption and foreign exploitation.

·       Assassinations & Silenced Voices: Examine the systemic elimination of revolutionary leaders like Patrice Lumumba and Thomas Sankara, whose visions threatened colonial and neocolonial agendas.

Freedom: The Cost of Liberation

·       Dead Aid & False Saviors: Critique the cycle of predatory loans and NGO paternalism that perpetuates dependency, echoing critiques by scholars like Dambisa Moyo.

·       Corruption as Colonial Legacy: Unpack how colonial administrative structures bred kleptocratic regimes, turning liberation into a hollow promise for millions.

A Call to Reclamation
Call Me an African is a battle cry against historical amnesia and modern complicity. It bridges past and present—from the resilience of anticolonial revolts to today’s youth-led uprisings against dictatorships and climate injustice. This is not a lament but a blueprint: to dismantle colonial mentalities, reclaim stolen heritage, and redefine freedom beyond Western scripts. Africa’s future is not in extraction or aid, but in the unyielding spirit of those who declare, We are already free.
