The power of books … The power to be found between the pages of a book is formidable, indeed.

They said reading banned books would corrupt me. Joke’s on them—I just ended up knowing more, questioning harder, and thinking deeper. Dangerous, I know.

Walter Rodney, "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" https://www.shopatmatter.com/product/how-europe-underdeveloped-africa/ An exemplary work of political, economic, and historical analysis, powerfully introduced by Angela Davis by Walter Rodney Foreword by Angela Y. Davis How Europe Underdeveloped Africa is an ambitious masterwork of political economy, detailing the impact of slavery and colonialism on the history of international capitalism. In this classic book, Rodney makes the unflinching case that African “mal-development” is not a natural feature of geography, but a direct product of imperial extraction from the continent, a practice that continues up into the present. Meticulously researched, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa remains a relevant study for understanding the so-called “great divergence” between Africa and Europe, just as it remains a prescient resource for grasping the multiplication of global inequality today. In this new edition, Angela Davis offers a striking foreword to the book, exploring its lasting contributions to a revolutionary and feminist practice of anti-imperialism. 416 pages | November 2018
