	Gender, Culture and Class in Walter Rodney’s Writings on Guyana
		Walter Rodney’s scholarly contributions to class and cultural relations in Africa, Europe, and the Americas is well known.
		Rodney’s discussion of Queen Nzinga dispels the widely held notion that Africans were complacent in their own enslavement, and that African women were inactive and unassertive.

		Rodney’s problem was he could not break through the two-party syndrome which in Guyana’s case had hardened into racialism and not racism.

	Shocking behaviour by Walter Rodney's 'comrades' - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Irony of ironies, it was not the PNC that took the initiative, publicly anyway, to amend the Government's motion to remove the words "assassinated" and "assassination" from the relevant clauses and to substitute instead "killed" and "death".
		First, however, readers need to know that the initiative for the motion resulted from a letter to President Bharrat Jagdeo on June 13, 2005 by Walter's widow, Patricia Rodney, while she was in Guyana last month for the 25th commemoration anniversary of the historian's assassination in Georgetown.
		Rodney, whose body was severed in two by that assassin's bomb concealed in a walkie talkie, must now be turning in his grave over what could correctly be viewed as a most sickening act of political collaboration and opportunism by what remains of a once bright spot on the Guyanese political landscape.

	Walter Rodney's Intellectual and Political Thought - Rupert Charles Lewis
		Placing Walter Rodney's (1942-1980) work in the larger tradition of West Indian involvement with continental Africa, this study traces the evolution of Rodney's political ideas through examination of his life, his writings on Africa and the Caribbean, and his political practice.
		A West Indian, Pan-Africanist, and Marxist, Rodney functioned in the intellectual tradition of C. James, Henry Sylvester-Williams, and George Padmore of Trinidad and Tobago, Theophilus Scholes and Marcus Garvey of Jamaica, and the collective force of the Rastafarian movement—although his post-colonial-era perspective set him apart from these earlier figures.
		Continuing to receive critical attention today, Rodney's work is largely concerned with reconstructing the political economy of the Atlantic slave trade and analyzing its consequences for Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

		In this global context Walter Rodney entered the international panorama of permanent world revolution; he was void of any petty ad hominem vendettas, of nurturing "scape-goat" versions of "race struggles", of pursuing personal enrichment, power and fame.
		At the University of Guyana, by government intervention, where Rodney was refused to lecture, together with the then visiting African lecturer, Yolamu Barongo, we developed a "Political Science in Africa", later published by Zed Press in 1983, in which we gave Rodney his honorable revolutionary role as world-renowned African dependency political activist and revolutionary thinker.
		Rodney like Malcolm X knew that those whom the gods love, whom the poor people love, die young; running for office in the 1980 elections, Rodney was brutally assassinated by an officer of the Guyana Defense Force, Sergeant Gregory Smith, who acted as an agent and mercenary of the then governing People's National Congress.
