Description
Walter Rodney's Decolonial Marxism is a collection of previously unpublished essays that span his engagement with Black Power, Ujamaa Villages, and everyday people who fought against colonialism. Rodney was a key figure in the Pan-African and socialist internationalist movement, working to build mass organizations, catalyze rebellious ferment, and theorize an anti-colonial path to self-emancipation. This volume brings together essays that explore the intersection of race and class, radical pedagogy, programs for newly independent nation-states, challenges in anti-colonial historiography, and balance sheets for wars of national liberation. Through these essays, Rodney's work is revealed as a testament to his ongoing reinvention of Marxism and his respect for mass self-rule.
