Samir Amin: Pioneer of the
Rise of the South
Samir Amin
(Egypt/France) is a leading intellectual on underdevelopment and the
critique of capitalism. Dieter Senghaas (Germany) presents him as a Pioneer of the Rise of the
South. These texts by Samir Amin have been selected for the
purpose of encouraging readers to learn more of his work in tracing the
historical trajectory of capitalism, which has consistently produced
polarization at the global level. Thus the dominated peripheries cannot
hope to catch up with the social organization prevailing in the
dominant centres. Hence the impossibility of global capitalism being
stabilized in its peripheries has resulted in the long decline of
capitalism coinciding with successive waves of active involvement by
the peoples of the South to shape a new world, potentially embarked on
the long road to socialism. Amin presents this major conflict of the
20th century and identifies the new challenges that the system now
faces in the 21st century. His analysis is conducted in terms of
historical materialism and should be a useful tool for activists
struggling for socialism. Their progress cannot be separated from that
of the emancipation of the Asian, African and Latin American peoples.
This book includes in Part 1: 1 Biographical Notes; 2 Bibliography.
Part 2 offers 4 key texts on the Theory of Historical Capitalism: 3
Theoretical Model of Accumulation and Development in the Contemporary

Initiatives; 9 The Democratic Fraud and the Universalist Alternative;

Samir
Amin (Egypt/France),
was born in Cairo as son of an Egyptian father and a French mother
(both medical doctors). He spent his childhood and youth in Port Said,
where he attended a French High School and obtained a Baccalauréat
(1947). He studied in Paris (1947-1957) with degrees in political
science (1952),statistics (1956) and economics (1957). His PhD thesis
(1957) was on: The
origins of underdevelopment - capitalist accumulation on a world scale
but retitled The structural effects of the international integration of
precapitalist economies. A theoretical study of the mechanism which
creates so-called underdeveloped economies. He worked in
Cairo (1957-1960) for the government's "Institution for Economic
Management". He was an adviser to the Ministry of Planning in
Bamako (Mali) (1960-1963). In 1963 received a fellowship at the
Institut Africain de Développement Économique et de Planification
(IDEP), where he worked until 1970 besides being a professor at the
university of Poitiers, Dakar and Paris (of Paris VIII, Vincennes). In
1970 he became director of the IDEP, which he managed until 1980. In
1980 Amin left the IDEP and became a director of the Third World Forum
in Dakar.
