zane’s Reviews > How Europe Underdeveloped Africa > Status Update

I’m thoroughly enjoying this book but the Verso edition has so many frustratingly simple spelling and punctuation errors - sometimes multiple errors on a single page. For example, using “wore” instead of “were” or missing full stops etc.

“The exploitation of Africa and African labor continued to be a source for the accumulation of capital to be reinvested in Western Europe. The African contribution to European capitalist growth extended over such vital sectors… The effects were so wide-ranging that many are seldom brought to the notice of the reading public.”
