"This book derives from a concern with the contemporary African situation. It delves into the past only because otherwise it would be impossible to understand how the present came into being and what the trends are for the near future. In the search for an understanding of what is now called underdevelopment in Africa, the limits of enquiry have had to be fixed as far apart as the fifteenth century, on the one hand and the end of the colonial period, on the other hand."-

Work Description
Es una redefinición del proceso global del desarrollo de las metrópolis capitalistas (Europa y Estados Unidos) y su estrecha dependencia del proceso de subdesarrollo de las periferias, y de África en particular. Entre las contribuciones de Rodney se pueden destacar: su ampliación del análisis de la totalidad; su análisis de la superestructura, particularmente del papel de la religión; su reordenamiento cronológico de la historia de la explotación; y su afirmación de que el capitalismo ha sido siempre europeo. Uno de los principales argumentos, a lo largo de la narrativa es que África desarrolló a Europa al mismo tiempo que Europa subdesarrollo a África. Poniéndose en manifiesto las políticas de poder y explotación económica que llevaron a África, al precario estado que se encuentra en lo social, económico y político a fines del siglo XX. Sin embargo, Rodney creía, que cada africano tiene la responsabilidad de comprender el sistema, (capitalista) y trabajar para su derrocamiento.
In this new edition, Angela Davis offers a striking foreword to the book, exploring its lasting contributions to a revolutionary and feminist practice of anti-imperialism.
