Complete your Walter Rodney bookshelf, all 40% off!
“If Walter Rodney’s assassins were under the impression that they could arrest the flow of his ideas by destroying his body, they could not have been more wrong.”— Angela Davis
Early in life, Walter Rodney became a major revolutionary figure in a dizzying range of locales that traversed the breadth of the Black diaspora: in North America and Europe, in the Caribbean, and on the African continent. He not only witnessed a Pan-African and socialist internationalism, he can be counted among its prime authors.
We are proud to publish Decolonial Marxism, a collection of previously unbound essays written during the world-turning days of Black revolution!
