What are some good history books about the consequences of colonialism on the modern situation in the third world? Talking points on the subject differ widely from "it no longer has an effect, the problems of other nations / the third world are of their own making", to "the source of all third world conflicts and stagnation is colonialism". On either point, some people go so far as to add that a new wave of colonialism would be a good restorative force, and some add that colonialism never really went away but transformed into neocolonialism, hence the third world's endemic problems.
Most answers I've come across depend largely on a person's political or economic views. What I'd like is some exhaustive, unbiased sources that discuss the subject in factual detail (edit: or as much factual detail as possible). Thank you in advance.
