Detroit Marxism Class to Review Walter Rodney's Classic Work on "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa," Chapter 5, Section II
The Detroit Marxism Class series continues with the study of an important and relevant work on the historical role of Africa in world history. Walter Rodney, who taught for years at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, published this book in 1972.
As the U.S. government and ruling class intensifies its intervention in Africa with wars of economic penetration, aggression and occupation in Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Zimbabwe and other states, it is essential that activists and students of modern life be grounded in the actual historical evolution of the relationship between the African continent and world imperialism.
We will read and discuss Chapter 5, section 2 of this groundbreaking study. Materials for the class will be available at the session.
Admission is free and open to the general public.
