Live and ready to be in everyone’s hands, after 3 years work, and 40-50 years after Rodney penned these brilliant essays, which are finally now accessible to everyone! @VersoBooks @LeoZeilig @ROAPEjournal @PlutoPress @DukePress @DukeAAAS @binghamtonu @RodneyProject

@LachlanMcNamee This is why Nkrumah was so on point, and Rodney. Your analysis seems very interesting. The Kenya case has long engaged many of these issues in its internal historiography, a case I know we’ll. The state is able to triangulate the settlers between itself and the people. Congrats.

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

@saggiotipo @HalfAtlanta I think about it all the time. Our precarity reflects capitalism and fascism and is logical. The asymmetry of our struggle remains one of its most salient features.

@mukholitreva @Jairo_I_Funez Solid question. Answer: 100% gumption, hard work, bigger brains, and good old ingenuity. It’s almost cute how they’re so infantile. Power means they don’t have to be intellectually rigorous.

@Jairo_I_Funez This is deep. But the universality has always been very partial at best, white and bourgeois.

[Jesse Benjamin @drjessebenjamin]

@tpraczek This says so much.

@MohammedAlRahbi Asante sana!
I’m still standing…

She’s such a generous person, with her time, knowledge and spirit. The leader we need. Our greatest current leader IMO. The Walter Rodney Foundation is lucky to have such great friends.

@GurdinChristian @ahvonenonni You did a solid job!
