Book Title: How Europe Underdeveloped Africa
Author: Walter Rodney
Selection Statement:
This book is paradigm shifting. It describes how European nations exploited African/Caribbean colonies, prompting the reader to reconsider the terms “developed” and “developing” nations. Walter Rodney was a dynamic scholar–activist who was assassinated in the months before I was born in Georgetown, Guyana. I have always been inspired by his legacy of outstanding scholarship that challenges colonial logics, capitalism, and White supremacy.
