Born: 03/23/1942
Country: Guyana

Biography: Author of How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Walter Rodney was a post-colonial intellectual and political leader influenced by the likes of Marcus Garvey, C.L.R. James, and the Rastafarian Movement. As a West Indian, Pan Africanist, and Marxist, Rodney's work examined issues such as race and class; slavery and freedom; colonialization and independence; and empowerment and economic developement. His death, in June of 1980, occurred at the height of his political struggle against the PNC political party. His fight for self-emancipation of the Guyanese working class through economic development and for solidarity amongst all Guyanese is still needed today.

Walter Rodney was murdered by State terrorism on June 13, 1980.
