Originally published in 1972, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa has become an indispensable reference in anti-colonial thought. Its author, Walter Rodney (1942-1980), a Guyanese historian trained at the University of London and professor at African and Caribbean universities, combined academic research with a strong political commitment to African liberation movements and Black Power.
In this essay, she provides an accessible and cogent analysis of how European colonialism held back African development by systematically plundering its resources. The current edition includes a foreword by Angela Davis, which underlines the relevance of Rodney's anti-imperialist and feminist approach.
