We might actually say that the Comaroff's networks of nepotism and patronage not only blocked who could study Africa, but how and what of Africa was actually studied. Based on their admitted influence, they have had an outsized role in the underdevelopment of knowledge of Africa.

Looking forward to reading Thomas Piketty's pathbreaking and utterly original new book, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa.
Bottom line: rich countries pretend to be in favour of fair & open markets, devlopment for all etc. but in practice the way financial markets are organized & regulated leads to an enormous income transfer from global South to global North, year after year & growing over time
