A reader once remarked that my works deal with three sets of problems
: (a) concrete analyses of the situation of third world countries
(Egypt, the Maghreb, West Africa, the Congo), (b) a theory of
capitalist accumulation on a world scale, and (c) an interpretation of
historical materialism. Indeed, this classification also corresponds
to the sequence of my work. Doubtless, concrete analysis of a
situation is never neutral; it always implicitly entails a theory. The
first of my analyses (Nassarian Egypt, West Africa, the neocolonial
Congo and Maghreb, and allegedly socialist attempts to break with
imperialist domination) were in large part based on a theoretical
interpretation of imperialism. This interpretation, formulated between
1954 and 1957, was questionable, due to the inadequacies of the
Marxism which prevailed in the 1950s, inadequacies which marked my own
intellectual and political formation.
