Conscientization 101 - Walter Rodney African History in the Service of the Black Liberation
Walter Anthony Rodney (March 23, 1942 – June 13, 1980)

 

In this paper Dr. Walter A. Rodney (W.A.R.) is breaking down how African history can be used as a tool for Black liberation. As Brother Rodney points out, our job is not to engage in rote learning of African history whereby we claim some sort of “consciousness” which automatically means we are free. Oh NO! From our knowledge about who we are, we must engage in liberating practice, i.e. CONSCIENTIZATION, in order to develop as a fully empowered people.
