Anticolonial Reading Group: Winter Edition!

 This winter, join us as we continue our anticolonial education with Walter Rodney’s incredible book, ‘Decolonial Marxism: Essays from the Pan-African Revolution’. Hailing from Guyana, Walter Rodney was one of the foremost revolutionary thinkers and radical activists during Africa’s decolonial era. Before his assassination in 1980, Rodney witnessed and participated in many decolonial struggles and made some of the first contributions to critically link race, class, and power analysis in post-colonial countries.

 In this special collection of essays, Rodney challenges us to explore a Marxism that goes beyond Europe’s borders. What is the relevance of Marxism as a mode of liberation in the Third World, and where does it fall short? How can we begin to talk about race in conjunction with class, and capitalism in conjunction with colonialism? Most importantly – how can we learn from Rodney’s expansive revolutionary experience to apply these questions to our movements and liberation struggles today?

 First session on November 16, 2-4PM full calendar on slide 2
This reading group is open to all. It is suitable for those who have read Rodney before & those completely new to his works. We especially welcome those from decolonial backgrounds.
