How Europe Underdeveloped Africa

Foreword by Angela Davis

How Europe Underdeveloped Africa is Walter Rodney’s classic study of the impact of slavery and colonialism on Africa and the development of international capitalism. Rodney argues that African underdevelopment is not a natural consequence of geography, but the result of imperial extraction.

This edition includes a foreword by Angela Davis, exploring the book’s enduring contribution to revolutionary, feminist and anti-imperialist thought.
