In Coloniality of Power in Postcolonial Africa, Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni dismantles the triumphant narrative of African independence by arguing that formal decolonization did not eradicate colonial domination but merely transformed it into more insidious structures of coloniality embedded within global capitalism, epistemology, governance, and subject formation. Central to his thesis is the proposition that Africa inhabits a “postcolonial neocolonized world” in which juridical sovereignty masks continuing subordination to Euro-American power structures. Drawing heavily upon the Latin American Modernity/Coloniality School, particularly the work of Aníbal Quijano, Walter Mignolo, and Ramón Grosfoguel, Ndlovu-Gatsheni conceptualises the colonial matrix of power as a durable global architecture organised around racial hierarchies, economic exploitation, epistemic domination, and political dependency. Unlike classical anti-colonial theories focused narrowly upon economic underdevelopment, his intervention broadens analysis toward the intertwined operations of coloniality of power, coloniality of knowledge, and coloniality of being. Through this framework, Africa’s persistent crises — fragile nationhood, authoritarian governance, economic dependency, epistemic marginalisation, and fractured identities — are interpreted not as post-independence failures alone but as consequences of unfinished liberation trapped within global systems designed to preserve Western hegemony. Particularly significant is his critique of Eurocentric epistemologies that universalise Western reason while relegating African knowledges to the margins of intellectual legitimacy. Ndlovu-Gatsheni demonstrates that colonialism functioned not solely through territorial occupation but through the production of racialised subjectivities and the normalisation of Western modes of knowing as the exclusive standards of truth and rationality. His analysis of Francophone and Anglophone Africa further illustrates how colonial administrative withdrawal merely reproduced dependency through mechanisms such as Francafrique, neoliberal governance, debt structures, and externally mediated state formation. Ultimately, the work concludes that genuine African liberation requires more than political independence; it necessitates a profound decolonial rupture capable of dismantling the epistemic, economic, and ontological infrastructures of colonial modernity itself.
