Canada in Africa : 300 years of Aid and Exploitation

with Yves Engler, Canadian author and activist
Tuesday October 6 at 7:30 pm
Yves Engler launches his latest critical overview of Canadian policy towards the African continent. Canada in Africa documents Canadian involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, missionary movement and European colonialism as well as Ottawa's opposition to anticolonial struggles and promotion of neoliberal economic prescriptions, which have benefitted Canadian... mining companies whose exploitation of resources are often bitterly resisted by local communities.
