Join distinguished scholars, young activists and up and coming scholars for historic insights into Walter Rodney's phenomenal political and intellectual legacy that still propels today's pan-African struggles. His transformational impact on people's thinking with the ground-breaking "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa", skewered the dominant narratives on African and European development. It challenged and disrupted centuries of false historic narratives on Africa, enslavement, empire, (neo)colonialism and reparations. The conference will also explore how that legacy can inform and inspire today's Black Lives Matter movement. It will:
● Interrogate the depth, range and impact of Rodney's scholarship as an exemplar change-making African Historian
● Feature Rodney's legacy Here and Now, alive in the struggles of today's workers, scholars and activists the world over..
The conference is happening with support from the Walter Rodney Foundation and the Sociology Department at the University of Cambridge.
