Walter Rodney’s Last Writing on and for the Guyanese Working People [2010] Afterword: Andaiye and the Caribbean Radical Organizing Tradition - Anthony Bogues IndexReviews'It is not an exaggeration to say that this volume will occupy a vaunted place alongside the writings of C. L. R. James, Frantz Fanon, Aime Cesaire, Sylvia Wynter, Edouard Glissant, George Lamming, Kamau Brathwaite, Stuart Hall, and certainly Walter Rodney. And like her distinguished predecessors, Andaiye and her brilliant collaborator, Alissa Trotz, did not put this book together in order to gather dust in a library. The title says it all: The Point is to Change the World' -- Robin D.G. Kelley, author of 'Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination' Author InformationAndaiye was a Guyanese social, political, and gender rights activist. She was an early member of the executive of the Working People's Alliance, a founding member of the women's development organisation Red Thread in Guyana in 1986 and an executive member of the Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action. Alissa Trotz is the Director of the Women & Gender Studies Institute, and Director of the undergraduate Caribbean Studies Program at New College at the University of Toronto.
