Imperialism in East Africa (Volume 2)

Professor Nabudere is one of the most prominent social theorists working in Africa. In this work, he applies the general theory developed in his Political Economy of Imperialism (1980) to the region of East Africa, and shows empirically how the East African economy has responded developments within Imperialism over the past century.

This volume deals with the issues of regional cooperation within East Africa, the new forms of integration within the framework of multilateral imperialism, and the role of the nation state,

By examining East Africa as a single region and relating the internal forces for change to worldwide historical factors, Nabudere provides a new approach to the modern history of East Africa. For an understanding of the contrasting predicaments of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania today, Nabudere's work is indispensable.
