Abstract

Colonialism was anchored on the economic principles of capitalism. The driving force behind the colonial expansion of Europe was the quest for economic advantage and advancement. The destruction of the ancient African social order in South Africa, through the agency of the military and missionaries, provided economic benefits for the settler, as well as colonial powers in Europe, while stripping away Africans of their birth-right. Capitalism was the economic order that undergirded colonialism. This article poses the questions Can decolonisation be achieved within a capitalist economic order? What can decolonial Afrikan knowledge teach us about the kind of economic order that is necessary for an effective re-Afrikanisation of contemporary Afrika?
在南非的背景下为再非洲化制定非殖民经济秩序
殖民主义是以资本主义的经济原则为基础的。欧洲殖民扩张背后的驱动力是对经济优势和进步的追求。在军队和传教士的作用下,对南非古代非洲社会秩序的破坏为定居者以及欧洲的殖民势力提供了经济利益,同时剥夺了非洲人与生俱来的权利。资本主义是支撑殖民主义的经济秩序。这篇文章提出了这样的问题:在资本主义经济秩序下,去殖民化能否实现?关于当代非洲有效的再非洲化所必需的那种经济秩序,非殖民化的非洲知识能教给我们什么?
