Abstract

Walter Rodney was born in 1942 in Georgetown, Guyana. Upon completion of high school in 1960 he won a scholarship to pursue a degree in History at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. In 1963, Rodney completed his undergraduate degree and went to England to pursue a postgraduate degree. In 1966, he was awarded the PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. He briefly taught at the University College, Tanzania and later in January 1968 began lecturing at the fledgling History Department at the Mona campus in Jamaica. Walter Rodney was a historian, activist, and politician who became one of the region’s most distinguished grassroots intellectuals of the twentieth century.
