Es una redefinición del proceso global del desarrollo de las metrópolis capitalistas (Europa y Estados Unidos) y su estrecha dependencia del proceso de subdesarrollo de las periferias, y de África en particular. Entre las contribuciones de Rodney se pueden destacar: su ampliación del análisis de la totalidad; su análisis de la superestructura, particularmente del papel de la religión; su reordenamiento cronológico de la historia de la explotación; y su afirmación de que el capitalismo ha sido siempre europeo. Uno de los principales argumentos, a lo largo de la narrativa es que África desarrolló a Europa al mismo tiempo que Europa subdesarrollo a África. Poniéndose en manifiesto las políticas de poder y explotación económica que llevaron a África, al precario estado que se encuentra en lo social, económico y político a fines del siglo XX. Sin embargo, Rodney creía, que cada africano tiene la responsabilidad de comprender el sistema, (capitalista) y trabajar para su derrocamiento.

In this new edition, Angela Davis offers a striking foreword to the book, exploring its lasting contributions to a revolutionary and feminist practice of anti-imperialism.
