Whenever the West says some old scheme is a thing of the past, you know they've just moved on to a more PR friendly version of the same. Colonialism is probably the prime example. Instead of exploiting people at the barrel of a gun, they now do it at the barrel of US Dollar denominated debt. Even resource rich and prosperous countries like Sri Lanka can't escape the terrible logic, once corrupt elites sign the contracts that kick-off debt-trap spirals of doom.
Today I’m talking to Dr. Darini Rajasingham-Senanayake. Darini earner her PhD from Princeton University and Is now a social and medical anthropologist with research focus on international development and political economy. She is also a prolific writer in several online outlets on the politics of South Asia and especially her native Sri Lanka. She often points out the neo-colonial structures and the many regime change operations that have been economically and politically devastating her part of the Eurasian continent.

This is the fuller version of the presentation I delivered at the Re-Engaging Pan-Africanism Conference at Birmingham City University, Dec 2018.
The presentation explores the relationship between Culture & Economics as an attempt to:
Rescue "culture" from reductive definitions by demonstrating the relationship between it & economic development.
Demonstrate how revolutionary movements have pursued economic development from a culturally appropriate foundation.
Its pre-recorded, but will be broadcast with a live chat. I look forward to hearing your feedback.
