The Russian Revolution: A View from the Third World
by Walter Rodney
(Verso, £16.99)
WALTER RODNEY was one of the outstanding fighters for socialism and liberation of the 20th century. His How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, pioneering in its attempts to analyse the sources and consequences of imperial super-exploitation, is a classic of historical materialism.
Rodney was also a front-line activist and it was his immersion in the political struggle that led to his assassination at the age of 38 in his native Guyana in 1980, almost certainly at the instigation of the Forbes Burnham government of the time.
