Decolonial Marxism by Walter Rodney

A set of essays that adapts Marxist analysis to the realities of colonial and postcolonial societies, tracing how imperialism and the global capitalist system produced and sustained underdevelopment, racial hierarchy, and class formations in Africa, the Caribbean, and the wider Third World. It combines historical materialism with anti-colonial critique to interrogate the roles of peasants, workers, intellectuals, and nationalist movements in struggles for liberation, and argues for a revolutionary praxis rooted in local contexts rather than uncritical transplantation of European models. The work emphasizes the need to understand race, empire, and dependency as central to any serious Marxist theory of development and social transformation.
