Quote: Walter Rodney (1942-1980), a Guyanese born historian and politician, published in 1972 a book titled: How Europe Underdeveloped Africa – that is an invaluable source of documentation about sub-Saharan African region’ social and economic development; before the encounter with the Europeans; during the lengthy epoch that followed the encounter and leading to the colonization; during the colonial period and afterwards. Walter Rodney analysed Western scholars’ academic works and publications (in all lines of knowledge), to refuting the white-race ethnocentric approach used by most of these scholars to explain the developing backwardness of sub-Saharan African countries. Indeed, these Western scholars – implicitly or explicitly – implied that sub-Saharan Africa’s developing was lagging far behind other regions of the world because of the “obvious” innate inferiority of black people to organize themselves, to master the environment in order to improving social and economic conditions. Walter Rodney, in the contrary, dug out and revealed historic findings (deliberately ignored by ethnocentric scholars) that shed light to the real causes, which explain the underdevelopment of sub-Saharan African region.
