First sentence: In 1938, exactly one hundred years after the supposed emancipation of the Black man in Jamaica, the masses once again were driven into action to achieve some form of genuine liberation under new conditions of oppression.
Description: In this classic work published in the heady days of anti-colonial revolution, Groundings with My Brothers follows the global circulation of emancipatory ideas, from the black students of North America to the Rasta counterculture of Jamaica and beyond. The book is striking in its simultaneous ability to survey the wide and heterogeneous international context while remaining anchored in grassroots politics, as Rodney offers us first-hand accounts of mass movement organizing. Having inspired a generation of revolutionaries, this new edition will re-introduce the book to a new political landscape that it helped shape, with reflections from leading scholar-activists--Provided by publisher.
