Thirty-three
years ago today, 13 June 2013, Walter Rodney was assassinated in Georgetown, Guyana.
Rodney is one of Africa’s leading historians –
in the same league as Cheikh Anta Diop, Onwuka Dike, Bethwell Alan Ogot, Albert
Adu Boahen, Joseph Ki-Zerbo and Adiele Afigbo. Rodney was professor of history
at the University of Dar es Salaam during six momentous years (1968-1974)
and two of his publications, How Europe
Underdeveloped Africa (1972) and A
History of the Upper Guinea Coast,
1545-1800 (1970), are compulsory references to the study of Africa of the past 500 years.
