The book explores how corporate neo-colonialism in Sierra Leone's diamond trade has hindered the country's social and economic development. It highlights the exclusion and marginalization of Sierra Leone from wealthier nations, emphasizing the ongoing reliance on international aid as a consequence of this exploitation. Through critical analysis, it sheds light on the detrimental effects of foreign corporate interests on local prosperity.
