 How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. Walter Rodney 1973
Colonialism increased the dependence of Africa on Europe in terms of the numbers of persons brought into the money economy and in terms of the number of aspects of socio-economic life in Africa which derived their existence from the connection with the metropole.
To clinch the argument that colonialism had a deleterious effect on the African as a physical (and hence mental) entity, it is useful to point to those African peoples who until today have managed to maintain their own pattern of existence in so far as food is concerned.
In the little-known Spanish colony of Guinea (Rio Muni), the small amount of education given to Africans was based on eliminating the use of local languages by the pupils and on instilling in their hearts ‘the holy fear of God’.

By the Constitution the governor was required to do the appointing with the "advice and consent of the council."

The equivalence of individuals within groups derived concretely from the manipulation of people in the mechanics of colonial administration, just as museums of African art derived from the possibilities of thievery in discrete periods of conquest, and animal "families" in natural history museums were assembled from kills made within particular safaris.
Colonial personnel in Africa prided themselves on interior knowledge, but they took their general orders from metropolitan officials living far away, whether in Mafeking and Cape Town, or the Foreign Office in London and the colonial ministry in Paris.
