{"product_id":"how-europe-underdeveloped-africa-9780882580968","title":"How Europe Underdeveloped Africa","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his short life  the Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution  leading movements in North America  South America  the African continent  and the Caribbean. In each locale  Rodney found himself a lightning rod for working class Black Power. His deportation catalyzed 20th century Jamaicas most significant rebellion  the 1968 Rodney riots  and his scholarship trained a generation how to think politics at an international scale. In 1980  shortly after founding of the Working Peoples Alliance in Guyana  the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus  How Europe Underdeveloped Africa  Rodney incisively argues that grasping \"the great divergence\" between the west and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the abiding repercussions of European colonialism on the continent of Africa has not only informed decades of scholarship and activism  it remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666357084213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0882580965","price":64.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780882580968.jpg?v=1782429503","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/how-europe-underdeveloped-africa-9780882580968","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
