EEUU le compró la isla colonial Diego García a Inglaterra por USD$14MM en un tratado secreto y luego procedió a sacar a toda la población indígena presente en ella para construir una base militar.
Ya van más de 50 años de cuando los habitantes de la isla fueron expulsados, sin poder volver a ella, sin recibir ningún tipo de reparación...
... Pero USA e Inglaterra son los buenos.

Objectives, Significance and Repercussions of the Kamerunian Revolution on the Continent of Africa by Union des Populations du Cameroun

"From 1959-60, in the context of the Cold War, during the establishment of the neocolonial bourgeoisie and in the face of France's obstinacy in refusing the UPC its rightful place in Kamerun, asking if the UPC was communist could only have one revolutionary answer: Yes it was, since its leaders were already talking explicitly about socialism as the end goal of the UPC's struggle. Read:
“The UPC follows the example of China and Indochina, and seeks to build a socialist society modeled on that of People's China.”
This is what the highest official of the UPC [Moumié] said, addressing a young executive and designating without ambiguity the socialist horizon as the objective to be achieved in Kamerun.

This magisterial survey of the historical geography of the West Indies is at bottom concerned with the causes and consequences of three complex and inter-related phenomena: the rapid and total removal of a large aboriginal population; the development of plantation agriculture and the arrival of enforced labour, in the form of many thousands of African slaves; and the environmental, ecological and cultural changes that resulted.

#22 Stuff the British Stole
Another podcast rec. This one's an NPR-style podcast, which is usually not my jam (I tend to prefer long-winded conversational podcasts) but the information in this one is too compelling to pass up.
I thought I had more or less understood the depravity of British imperialism. Then I listened to this podcast and realized I knew nothing. Each episode made me so spitting mad that I had to take a break and stew for a while before I could listen to the next one.
The first episode, covering Tipu Sultan's near-life-size statue of a tiger (Tipu Sultan's emblem) mauling a man in an East India Company uniform, is an excellent place to start.
I can also now recommend a podcast pairing! Listen to the Best.Named.Dog.Ever episode of Stuff the British Stole, and then follow it up with the Gordon of Khartoum episode of Bad Gays--to hear in his own words how he felt about looting and destroying the old Summer Palace (he was upset they didn't have time to loot it more carefully! Fuck the British!!)

They Called Us Brigands: The Saga of St. Lucia's Freedom Fighters by Robert J. Devaux; Patrick A.B. Anthony

The Black freedom fighters of the Lesser Antilles became known as “brigands” during the french revolution. Their fascinating story has never been written, perhaps because they have been dismissed as runaway slaves in a state of insurrection. The author believed that history has been unfair to the “brigands”. He felt indebted to them for sparing the life of his great-great-great-grandmother who was left in their care when the rest of the Devaux family fled to Martinique for safety. His gratitude motivated him to attempt to exonerate the “brigands” from the stigma of their history and present them in a different light, as freedom fighters caught up in a desperate situation.
