“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, Aimé Césaire, Sylvia Wynter, Édouard Glissant, George Lamming, Kamau Brathwaite, Stuart Hall, and Walter Rodney”Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination“Andaiye was the most important Caribbean woman intellectual-activist of the generation of Walter Rodney. Her subtle, loving and angry intelligence is rescued here, and with it the memory of the political struggles of the 1970s and 80s in which a critical feminism emerged from the ruins of the Black Power moment”Richard Drayton, Rhodes Professor of Imperial History, King’s College London“A benchmark for the study of the Caribbean radical imagination”Clem Seecharan, Emeritus Professor of History, London Metropolitan University“A thoughtful and compelling portrait of a period and a place”Honor Ford-Smith, author of My Mother’s Last Dance“A comprehensive assessment of Andaiye’s journey”Patricia Rodney, Chair of the Walter Rodney FoundationRadical activist, thinker, comrade of Walter Rodney, Andaiye was one of the Caribbean’s most important political voices. For the fi rst time, her writings are published in one collection. Through essays, letters, and journal entries, Andaiye’s thinking on the intersections of gender, race, class, and power are profoundly articulated, Caribbean histories emerge, and stories from a life lived at the barricades are revealed. We learn about the early years of the Working People’s Alliance, the meaning and impact of the murder of Walter Rodney and the fall of the Grenada revolution. With forewords by Clem Seecharan and Robin D. G. Kelley. Andaiye (1942–2019) was a Guyanese social, political, and gender rights activist, who has been described as a transformative fi gure in the region’s political struggles.
