Join Dr. Rebecca Hall, author of Wake, for a spirited workshop series where she will guide participants on how to read deeply, and how to develop an effective annotation system that works for you to help you retain crucial knowledge. We will study Walter Rodney’s How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, a foundational text that reveals the history and consequences of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and how it shaped Africa, which ultimately made it easier to colonize and then exploit that continent. This book provided a crucial intervention into the concept that colonization provided anything but destruction to Africa. They might have built roads, but they all led to the Sea, Rodney pointed out.
