The Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE) is a socialist journal & website providing radical analysis of capitalist exploitation, oppression & resistance.
- 100 years ago today, Frantz Fanon was born. Martiniquais by birth, Algerian by struggle #Fanon100 was not only a key thinker of anti-imperialist struggles in Africa and the Global South, but also a revolutionary activist. "What matters is not to know the world but to change it"
- 1/🧵Immanuel Wallerstein is known for his world-systems analysis. But few recall that his ideas were shaped by engagement with African decolonisation. In the 1960s, #Wallerstein lived and travelled across #Africa, meeting #Fanon and Samir Amin, and admiring #Nkrumah and Cabral.

- This week marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of CODESRIA. Founded by Samir Amin at the start of Feb 1973, the pan-African research centre was, in Amin’s words “conceived ... to promote independent & audacious African reflections.” Long Live CODESRIA! codesria.org/about-us-codes…
