The Point is to Change the World by Andaiye

The Point is to Change the World by Andaiye

An inspiring collection from one of the Caribbean's most vital political figures.

'Andaiye was the most important Caribbean woman intellectual-activist of the generation of Walter RodneyHer subtle, river-clear, loving and angry intelligence is rescued here, and with it the memory of the political struggles of the 1970s and 80s in which a critical feminism emerged from the ruins of the Black Power moment'

-- Richard Drayton, Rhodes Professor of Imperial History at King's College London

'It is not an exaggeration to say that this volume will occupy a vaunted place alongside the writings of C. L. R. James, Frantz Fanon, Aime Cesaire, Sylvia Wynter, Edouard Glissant, George Lamming, Kamau Brathwaite, Stuart Hall, and certainly Walter Rodney. And like her distinguished predecessors, Andaiye and her brilliant collaborator, Alissa Trotz, did not put this book together in order to gather dust in a library. The title says it all: The Point is to Change the World'

-- Robin D.G. Kelley, author of 'Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination'

'This collection is a benchmark for the study of the Caribbean radical imagination'

-- Clem Seecharan, Emeritus Professor of History at London Metropolitan University and author of 'Sweetening "Bitter Sugar": Jock Campbell, the Booker Reformer in British Guiana, 1934-66'

'A comprehensive assessment of Andaiye's journey of personal, political and professional growth. Notwithstanding her privileged position, she was a resolute advocate for working-class women. Her legacy as a Caribbean activist and strategist is formidable'

-- Patricia Rodney, Chair of the Walter Rodney Foundation

Andaiye was a Guyanese social, political, and gender rights activist. She was an early member of the executive of the Working People's Alliance, a founding member of the women's development organisation Red Thread in Guyana in 1986 and an executive member of the Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action.
