African Continental Free-Trade Area
On March 21, 2018, the African Continental Free Trade Agreement was signed in Kigali, Rwanda by an overwhelming majority of African states. This Agreement, which was designed to create a free-trade area across the African continent, came into force on May 30, 2019, following its ratification by twenty-two African states as provided for in the agreement. The resultant free-trade area is intended to integrate African markets, stimulate industrializ…
Capital and Chlordecone Poisoning in the French Caribbean Islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique
Guadeloupe and Martinique, two French overseas territories located in the Caribbean, are today facing serious public health crises; particularly, the highest rates of prostate cancer in the world. These crises resulted from the French colonial policy of primitive accumulation, which authorized two decades of the use of a carcinogenic pesticide, chlordecone (a.k.a. Kepone), by French settler farmers to control banana weevil pests. This was despite…
Resource Curse or Accumulation by Dispossession? Economic Displacement and the Challenges of HIV Infection in a Petroleum Economy
This paper documents the deleterious effects of petroleum extractive activities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, with a special focus on HIV infection. It argues against the hegemonizing claims of the “resource curse” thesis and deploys the framework of “accumulation by dispossession” to explain the crisis of development associated with the country’s petroleum economy. The paper couches the challenges of economic survival in the petroleum re…
Capital Accumulation, Environmental Pollution, and Public Health Challenges in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry
Petroleum exploration activities started in Nigeria’s Niger Delta in the early twentieth century as part of the expansive process of primitive accumulation instituted by the British colonial administration to advance its economic interest. Since petroleum resources were discovered in commercial quantities in the region in 1956, transnational extraction corporations (including Shell, Chevron, and ExxonMobil) in collaboration with the emergent dome…
Doing gang research in Canada
Interest in youth gang activities in Canada has engendered an increasing engagement by government institutions and police departments of American 'gang experts' who supposedly have a long pedigree in dealing with this type of problem. I argue that: (a) considering the lingering contentions over the nature, structure, and organization of gangs generally, Canada does not stand to benefit significantly from the American 'gang' experience; and (b) th…

Gun Violence in Toronto
This article discusses the ways in which the Toronto Police Service has constructed the problem of gun violence in the city. This violence is commonly associated in the media with young black males. The data for the study derived from semi‐structured interviews with police officers and secondary sources, including police public statements, press releases, and official documents. The most prominent police frame attributed the problem of gun violen…
Crimes of Globalization
This paper addresses the lack of criminological interest in the “crimes” of globalization. It challenges the essentialist assumption of mainstream criminology that the legal definitions of crime are sacrosanct. Following a broader conceptualization of crime which goes beyond the prescriptions of criminal law, the paper draws on three different intellectual traditions (crimes of globalization, structural violence and the critique of neoliberalism)…
