Teaching and Research
After his experience in Mali, Samir Amin decided to definitely dedicate himself to a career in academia. He brilliantly passed the agregation (a competitive examination) in economics and began a career as professor and researcher in several universities, including the universities of Dakar and of Vincennes, now known as Paris VIII-Saint-Denis.
He has very positive memories of this latter establishment, where he says that after the student protests of 1968 one of the best experiments aiming at rethinking the entire teaching of social sciences and humanities in depths was launched.But teaching goes hand in hand with research, that is, intellectual production. His intellectual production never stopped developing in the fields of economic theory, of practical development problems, and of theories concerning the struggle against imperialism and for independence and autonomy for the countries of the South.
