Groundings: The Journal of the Walter Rodney Foundation (Groundings)

Groundings: The Journal of the Walter Rodney Foundation is a bi-annual peer reviewed scholarly journal into the life and thought of Walter Rodney, as well as covering topics such as African studies and decolonization. The Journal also serves as the source of Foundation related news, inquiry, and activism. This journal is a space for critical academic work that directly or indirectly reflects the legacies of Dr. Walter Rodney’s powerful body of scholarship. This includes but is not limited to: issues of development and political economy; Black and Third World Marxisms; Pan-Africanism and transnational Black Studies; Caribbean culture, history and politics; race, class and intersectionality; epistemology and philosophy; and all manner of related critical decolonial theory and radical historiography. In addition to the peer-reviewed base of the journal, we will continue some of our earlier newsletter function in a small section at the end of most issues, to share updates on WRF and other Rodney related activities around the world; art, culture, politics from Africa and the African Diaspora; and updates on cultural or political matters. We welcome scholarship that directly engages Walter Rodney, his work and legacy – but we also welcome scholarship about the broad subjects Rodney worked on, including but not limited to development and underdevelopment theory; Pan-Africanism; anti-colonialism, anti-neocolonialism and decolonization; Black and Third World Marxisms; radical and liberatory pedagogy; African, Caribbean and Afro-Diasporic history and culture; Pan-African perspectives on other parts of the world; the nexus of scholarship and activism; race/class complexities, i.e. coloniality; and all forms of intersectional critical theory, critical race theory, decolonial theory, Black Studies and Critical Ethnic Studies.
