In drawing together pages where he elaborates on the nexus of race and class, offers his reflections on radical pedagogy, outlines programs for newly independent nation-states, considers the challenges of anti-colonial historiography, and produces balance sheets for a dozen wars for national liberation, this volume captures something of the range and power of Rodney’s output. But it also demonstrates the unbending consistency that unites his life and work: the ongoing reinvention of living conception of Marxism, and a respect for the still untapped potential of mass self-rule. - **[Vita Wa Watu a New Afrikan Theoretical - Journal 1988 Book Twelve](https://brothermalcolm.net/TRANSFORMED/PDF/book12.pdf)** New Afrikans Must Read! + Journal 1988 Book Twelve: 'Notes On Cadre Policy & Development' & 'On What It Means to Re-Build'](https://brothermalcolm.net/TRANSFORMED/PDF/book12.pdf)** **New Afrikans Must Read!** + + - **[Instructions to one studying independentLy by N.

It argues that pervasive national, racial and cultural chauvinism in the core capitalist countries is not primarily attributable to ‘false class consciousness’, ideological indoctrination or ignorance as much left and liberal thinking assumes. Rather, these and related forms of bigotry are concentrated expressions of the major social strata of the core capitalist nations’ shared economic interest in the exploitation and repression of dependent nations. The book demonstrates not only how redistribution of income derived from super-exploitation has allowed for the amelioration of class conflict in the wealthy capitalist countries, it also shows that the exorbitant ‘super-wage’ paid to workers there has meant the disappearance of a domestic vehicle for socialism, an exploited working class. Rather, in its place is a deeply conservative metropolitan workforce committed to maintaining, and even extending, its privileged position through imperialism. @@ -180,7 +192,7 @@ Secondary (ordered by difficulty, from the most accessible to the most advanced) - **[MIM's Imperialism study pack](http://almhvxlkr4wwj7ah564vd4rwqk7bfcjiupyf7rs6ppcg5d7bgavbscad.onion/archive/books/Economics/ImperialismHighestStageofGlobalCapitalism.pdf)** collection of writings for understanding imperialism WARNING use tor -- ***Che Guevara: The Economics of Revolution Yaffe, Helen.*** – An important work from Helen Yaffe on the, as yet untranslated, works +- **Che Guevara: The Economics of Revolution Yaffe, Helen.** – An important work from Helen Yaffe on the, as yet untranslated, works on political economy by Che Guevara.
