非洲的落後被認為是受地理環境及文化影響，但貧窮並不是非洲這片大陸自然發展的必然結果。Walter Rodney透過嚴謹的研究、分析提出反對環境決定論的論點。他認為奴隸制度、殖民主義以及全球資本主義才是使非洲陷入發展困境的元凶。
書中論述非洲在歐洲人踏上這片大陸前後各個時期的發展概況，也闡述帝國主義的掠奪行動為歐洲帶來的利益，清楚論證殖民主義如何限制非洲的發展，並造成持續至今且不斷擴大的全球不平等。
The classic work of political, economic, and historical analysis, powerfully introduced by Angela Davis
In his short life, the Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution, leading movements in North America, South America, the African continent, and the Caribbean. In each locale, Rodney found himself a lightning rod for working class Black Power. His deportation catalyzed 20th century Jamaica's most significant rebellion, the 1968 Rodney riots, and his scholarship trained a generation how to think politics at an international scale. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated.
In his magnum opus, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the west and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the abiding repercussions of European colonialism on the continent of Africa has not only informed decades of scholarship and activism, it remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.
