Ama Ata Aidoo's lands a knock-out blow to white neocolonial anti-African revisionism. If it is true, as Frantz Fanon told us, that one strategy of colonialism was to degrade, dismiss, and destroy the history and culture of the colonized, it is also true that neocolonialism operates in a similar fashion on the history and culture of anti-colonial struggle.

On April 3, U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) Commander Michael Langley testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee during an excruciating two hours obsessively devoted to the ill-fated project of preserving U.S. hegemony.

When the West slaps on tariffs, it’s 'economic security'—but when the Sahel rejects exploitative deals, it’s called a threat. From Cuba to Burkina Faso, countries have fought for self-sufficiency: controlling their resources, supporting local industry, and breaking free from foreign domination. As the U.S. doubles down on tariffs and trade wars, African nations—particularly in the Sahel—find themselves at a critical juncture.

Challenges to Zionism in the late 1960s and 1970s sparked an effort to redefine antisemitism focused on defending Israel while attacking the political Left. This resulted in the IHRA definition and the assault on Palestine activism we see today. Originally published in Mondoweiss.

For nearly three decades, draconian 1996 immigration laws have torn families apart—jailing long-term residents over minor offenses, fast-tracking deportations of asylum seekers, and fueling the cruel machine of immigrant detention. While the U.S. reckons with the harms of mass incarceration, these lesser-known Clinton-era policies remain a brutal engine of family separation and due process violations.
