Sumario:This article seeks to analyze the theory of the continuing primitive accumulationof Rosa Luxembourg and its use for analysis of sub-Saharan Africa nowadays. Withthe entry of the 21st century, there is a renewed interest of the great powers in relationto African wealth and markets. This new race takes place due to the possibility of accumulationof capital that the African environment still provides today. Based on the studyof the trade relations and productive structures of Africa, it is noted that the continentis still externally dependent and subjugated to the global market as, in general, a mereexporter of primary goods, dynamics in which imperialistic relationships are maintainedwith the Capitalist Center. This article therefore seeks to verify the hypothesis that RosaLuxembourg’s theory can be approximated to the African case today and to classify inwhich of the three stages proposed by the author is sub-Saharan Africa: natural, mercantileor capitalist.
