Reseña del libro "Walter Rodney (en Inglés)"
Among the critical questions thatRodney dealt with whether he was in Tanzania, Jamaica or his native Guyana(formerly British Guiana) was the character of the postcolonial state and itsrelationship with the working people. It is his engagement with politics thatguided his research into African and Caribbean history. In the post-World WarII era the colonial powers had regrouped and were rebuilding Europe with thestrong financial and political support of the capitalist United States. TheSoviet Union, one of the victors over German fascism, was the other power onthe world scene. It was communist, and engaged in a Cold War with the UnitedStates, the dominant global power. China under Mao Tse Tung was the othercommunist state that had emerged after the 1949 revolution with a huge ruralpopulation, much poverty and a low level of industrialization. Capitalist andsocialist powers vied for the hearts and minds of the peoples of Asia, Africaand the Caribbean that were shaking off the shackles of colonialism. LatinAmerican countries which had achieved their political independence in thenineteenth century were caught up in this nationalist surge as they battledwith neo-colonialism. They battled with Spain their colonial overlord, but alsowith the United States which regarded Latin America and the Caribbean as itsbackyard and intervened as it saw fit to pursue its strategic military, political and economic goals. The Garvey and labormovements of the 1920s and 1930s in the Caribbean as well as communist andnational liberation movements in the twentieth century helped to shape WalterRodney's political awareness. His parents' generation was actively involved inthe anti-colonial movement in British Guiana in the 1940s and 1950s, and in the1960s and 1970s Rodney himself helped to shape the ideas around African andCaribbean decolonization, Pan-Africanism, and Marxism.
