Reviews

‘The Changing Face of Imperialism combines the analyses from a set of most competent Indian thinkers. An enlightening collection which simultaneously reminds the reader of the continuities of that major facet of capitalism through the successive phases of its global deployment and gives its full importance to the changes associated with the dominance of contemporary finance capital. An essential reading to understand the challenges of our time.’ Samir Amin, Director, Third World Forum, Dakar and former Director, Institut Africain de Développement Économique et de Planification (IDEP) and Professor at the Universities of Poitiers, Dakar and Paris ‘A very timely volume which going against the current forcefully reminds us that imperialist surplus appropriation continues to occur in the contemporary world though formal colonies are long gone. The authors of this volume are globally renowned specialists in their respective areas and the volume has successfully brought them together to make an important common point.’ Aditya Mukherjee, Professor of Modern History, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India
