The First George Padmore Institute Annual Lecture at Queen Mary University of London

Описание: The First George Padmore Institute Annual Lecture on Walter Rodney's 'How Europe Underdeveloped Africa' and the Genealogy of Caribbean Intellectual Traditions delivered by Professor David Scott.

In Queen Mary University of London's ArtsTwo Theatre, we welcomed 250 attendees to an engaging public lecture delivered by Professor Scott, the Ruth and Lubic Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University. He is the founder of Small Axe: A Caribbean Journal of Criticism and has authored many works including 'Formations of Ritual' (1994); 'Omens of Adversity' (2014); and 'The Paradox of Freedom' (2023) with Orlando Patterson.

The GPI Annual Lecture is the first in a new series designed to highlight and platform innovative scholarship on anti-imperialism, anti-racism, internationalism and the relationship between politics and culture. The series aims to continue the legacy of GPI co-founder, Trinidadian trade unionist, activist and publisher John La Rose who dedicated his life's work to the ethos and philosophies of great Pan-Africanist George Padmore, embracing his 'independent, radical vision and outlook connecting the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, North America and Asia'.

We would like to thank the School of History at Queen Mary University London for supporting this event.
