    Blogpost on Rodney's 1972 classic, focusing on his approach and politics

    In 1972 Walter Rodney published his masterpiece How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. Rodney’s book took a similar approach to Eduardo Galeano’s 1971 classic, examining 400 years of European intervention in Africa. Leo Zeilig looks at Rodney's 1972 book.

    But the OTHER story is that an even bigger antifacsist surge took place, and Biden will end c. 78 million! A full geometric 10% gain over Obama’s 69 mill record. That human mobilization just barely won the day & protected us - barely enough in many swing states. !

    The truth lies with the people, in their lives. The best theory in practice. Publishers record history, make it and shape it.
