For over a century, France has maintained a powerful grip on Africa—first through violent colonization, and then through more subtle but equally devastating forms of control. France in Africa exposes the dark truth behind the so-called “Françafrique” system—a network of puppet regimes, resource exploitation, economic manipulation, and military interference designed to keep former colonies dependent and obedient.

In this searing and meticulously researched book, Sam Prajnananda uncovers the real cost of France’s empire-building—from brutal conquests in Algeria, Senegal, and Madagascar to modern-day neocolonial tactics in Mali, Niger, and Côte d’Ivoire. He names the corporations, political deals, military bases, and elite relationships that perpetuate this unequal dynamic—and challenges the myth of France as a benevolent ally.

But this book is not just about exposure—it’s a rallying cry for justice.
With powerful case studies and a compelling call to action, France in Africa empowers readers—especially African youth—to awaken, organize, and demand true independence and reparative justice.

The empire never ended. It just changed form.
Now is the time to confront it—and reclaim Africa’s future.
