Walter Rodney (1942–1980) was a prominent Guyanese historian, political activist, and scholar whose work and activism significantly influenced Pan-Africanism and anti-colonial struggles in the 20th century.

Rodney earned his PhD in African history from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London in 1966, with a focus on African resistance to European colonization. His landmark book, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa (1972), became a seminal text in Pan-African studies, critiquing the exploitative relationship between Europe and Africa and exposing the ways in which colonialism stunted Africa's development.

A committed Marxist and Pan-Africanist, Rodney believed in the liberation of all oppressed peoples and was deeply engaged with grassroots movements. He travelled extensively, including in Tanzania, where he taught at the University of Dar es Salaam and advocated for African socialism and self-reliance.

Rodney’s activism often puts him at odds with political elites. In 1968, he was banned from Jamaica after criticizing the government and the capitalist structures that perpetuated inequality. This led to the famous “Rodney Riots,” as his followers protested his expulsion, sparking broader conversations about social justice.

In his native Guyana, Rodney co-founded the Working People's Alliance (WPA) to challenge the authoritarian rule of Forbes Burnham. His outspoken opposition to oppression and his advocacy for the working class made him a target of state repression. On June 13, 1980, Rodney was assassinated in Georgetown, Guyana, under circumstances widely believed to involve state security forces.

Rodney’s life and work continue to inspire Pan-Africanists, social justice advocates, and scholars worldwide. His legacy is one of unwavering dedication to the struggle against imperialism, racism, and inequality. 🇬🇾

I like to imagine that after “The Game” Evan, John, Radek, and Rodney started playing table top games together.

That’s alright for some. I’ve got to spend the rest of the day at that garage on my own. (Part 1)

Daz’s panel is now being held at Rodney’s. All arrive at the Mill to determine the fate of Daz where he speaks up for himself. While the panel are making a decision, Jack, Andy and Daz make a stop at the garage to fill Robert in on what’s going on. The panel are nearly unanimous regarding Daz until Scott puts a kibosh on things as he sees Daz playing everyone for fools. Note, the first part is setup for what is going to happen at the end of the episode.

Pan-African theory in general, and the work of Rodney in particular, should be reconsidered as central to the development and genealogical construction of theories and knowledge upon which we build in the current moment. We now have many ways to reach the important issue of the fraught relationship between knowledge and power, and we have great work left to do to create knowledge that is liberatory in relation to power. Rodney’s work is one of our greatest models in this urgent task.
