Reading "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" definitely made me feel like America still has some type of hold on Africa. The person that wrote this gave an idea on the type of hold that is still on Africa. Because of the history; the strip of natural resources, the dehumanization of the people, and the control of products. There is a quote from the writing I felt explained everything..
"In order to understand present economic conditions in Africa, one needs to know why it is that Africa has realized so little of its natural potential, and one also needs to know why so much of its present wealth goes to non-Africans who reside for the most part outside of the continent."
