This book provides a compelling examination of corporate-driven resource extraction on the African continent, which is marked by the exploitation of both people and the environment exclusively for the pursuit of profit for a few, with a specific focus on Kenya. The book meticulously reveals that the socioeconomic and environmental challenges posed by the extractive sector are not isolated incidents but part of a larger, systemic problem. This is underscored by the complex interplay between political economy, corporate globalization, odious debt, public policy, sustainable development, human rights and the rule of law. The book concludes by enjoining the call for a world order in which Africa is not exporting its raw materials, but is the centre of global manufacturing, adding value to its own resources.
