Dr. Arikana’s Bold Pick: The Controversial Book Shaping Pan-African Thought

In this episode of Economic Liberation of Africa, we dive deep into the systemic exploitation revealed in John Perkins’ Confessions of an Economic Hitman. This groundbreaking exposé sheds light on how global powers manipulate nations, perpetuating cycles of dependency and inequality. Join us as we explore the blueprint of neo-colonialism and its impact on Black communities worldwide, from Africa’s resource-rich nations to historically marginalized communities across the diaspora.

We discuss practical steps to resist exploitation, including the role of knowledge in liberation. As emphasized by Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao, former African Union Ambassador to the U.S., this book should be part of the curriculum in African universities and educational institutions worldwide. It equips students, activists, and leaders with the tools to identify economic imperialism disguised as development aid and mobilize against it.
Key topics in this episode include:
• How to Incorporate the Book into African Universities: Learn strategies to introduce Confessions of an Economic Hitman into the curriculum, fostering awareness and critical thinking in future leaders.
• Mobilizing for Economic Revolution: Explore actionable strategies to unite African nations and diasporic communities in the fight against corporate exploitation and systemic inequality.
• Engaging Multinational Corporations: Discover how to hold corporations accountable as corporate citizens and ensure they contribute to Africa’s economic liberation.
This discussion is not just for African audiences—it’s a call to the global Black community to unite under the principles of Pan-Africanism. As Pan-Africanists—those who believe in the unity and empowerment of African-descended people globally—we must work collectively to transform exploitation into empowerment.
