Reviews
"This is a splendid narrative of Walter Rodney's legendary life and work across three continents. Leo Zeilig's singular achievement is to have brilliantly located Rodney, the Black Power Marxist, at the intersection of the politics of radical nationalism and visionary socialism that suffused the pan-African world in the 60s and 70s. An unforgettable read.'' -Issa Shivji, Emeritus Professor, University of Dar es Salaam
