ISBN10: 0950154644, ISBN13: 9780950154640, [publisher: Bogle-l'Ouverture Publications Ltd] Softcover First Edition "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" is the most celebrated essay by Guyanese historian Walter Rodney and one of the most renowned and influential works of Marxist-inspired anticolonial literature. Published in 1972, the essay was the first to comprehensively expose and document the European colonial powers' responsibility for the underdevelopment of 20th-century Africa, advancing the argument that the very existence of the so-called Third World is a direct consequence of European policies exploiting their colonies. Rodney suggests a socialist solution for African countries (and generally for underdeveloped or developing nations), with Tanzania under Julius Nyerere being cited as a model in the preface. "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" is a significant reference in the historical and political discourse on the colonial and postcolonial history of Africa." Text: Rodney Walter. cm 11x18; pp. 318; paperback.Fine condition, unread.
