Colonial Currencies & Other Investment Stratagems
<p>After developing an understanding of the Berlin Conference’s implications, of the concept of Eurafrica, and of how the European Integration project was truly founded in the previous episodes, we wanted to understand more about how these structures have continued, and how they have been transformed and institutionalised in contemporary international relations. One fundamental example of this is the Franc of the Financial Community of Africa (CFA). We invited Ndongo Samba Sylla, a development economist at the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in Dakar (Senegal), who recently co-authored <em>Africa’s Last Colonial Currency: The CFA Franc Story</em> with Fanny Pigeaud (published by Pluto Press), onto the podcast to discuss these issues with us.</p> <p><em>The EURO—VISION Podcast is also featured in the fourth issue of The Contemporary Journal, <a style="background: #f2e315; font-weight: 500;" href="https://www.librarystack.org/emergency-and-emergence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Emergency and Emergence</a>.</em></p>
