After ten years working on the Review of African Political Economy’s website, Leo Zeilig reflects on the struggles, history and analysis that has been published on the platform. The website has proclaimed loudly for a radical agenda on the continent and has been resolute in supporting struggles of communities and working people fighting for justice and liberation. As he steps away, Leo shares his reflections on ROAPE and the website.

First published at ROAPE. ROAPE’s Leo Zeilig interviews researcher, writer and activist Florian Bobin on the deepening crisis in Senegal. Bobin describes the repression and bloodshed of the last few years, and the efforts to unseat the president. He analyses the potential for a radical left alternative emerging in the country, based on the “deep, systemic re-foundation” of society and its institutions.

In the pantheon of radical black figures snatched from us too soon (which includes the likes of Lumumba and Cabral), Walter Rodney looms large.

His intellectual output was sizable, and his political activities immense, stretched across the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and North America.
