On Monday, February 8th at the Brecht Forum (451 West Street btw. Bank & Bethune Streets, New York, NY) at 7:30pm, filmmaker Clairmont Chung will be screening what looks to be a fantastic new documentary on Guyanese scholar, activist and author Walter Rodney, best known as the author of How Europe Underdeveloped Africa (1972), who, while running for higher office, was assassinated in 1980 for his wide-reaching and popular political beliefs of post-independence Guyana and other countries in the West Indies.
Educated at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica and the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, Rodney was awarded his PhD with honors in African History. An advocate for the downtrodden in the Caribbean, Rodney was among the many who fought for the empowerment of Black folks of the region and publicly rejected the authoritarian role of the middle-class political elite, making him especially popular among Rastafarians in...
