Walter Rodney

Quotes

• “He who makes the powder wins the war.”

• “West Africans had developed metal casting to a fine artistic perfection in many parts of Nigeria, but when it came to the meeting with Europe, beautiful bronzes were far less relevant than the crudest cannon.”

• “Colonialism had only one hand—it was a one-armed bandit.”

• “The first prerequisite for mastery of the environment is knowledge of that environment.”
