Důležitost krátké koloniální doby a její negativní důsledky pro Afriku vycházejí hlavně z faktu, že Afrika ztratila moc. Moc je základní determinantou lidské společnosti, je základní jak pro vztahy v rámci jakékoli skupiny, tak mezi němi. Předpokládá schopnost ubránit svoje zájmy a v nutnosti prosadit svoji vůli jakýmikoli dostupnými prostředky. Ve vztazích mezi dvěma národy otázka moci určuje míru, do jaké je jeden lid schopný přežít fyzicky a kulturně. Když je jedna společnost donucena vzdát se moci ve prospěch jiné společnosti, tak je to již samo o sobě jistým projevem zaostalosti.

The decisiveness of the short period of colonialism and its negative consequences for Africa spring mainly from the fact that Africa lost power. Power is the ultimate determinant in human society, being basic to the relations within any group and between groups. It implies the ability to defend once interests and if necessary to impose one's will by any means available. In relations between peoples, the question of power determines the extent to which a people survive as a physical and cultural entity. When one society finds itself forced to relinquish power entirely to another society, that in itself is a form of underdevelopment.
