1000 tulosta hakusanalla Rodney Stark
This is a compilation which brings together in one volume technical descriptions of the Royal Navy's Nelson Class battleships. The Nelson class comprised just two battleships (the Nelson and Rodney), built shortly after, and under the terms of, the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. They were the only British battleships built between the Revenge class (ordered in 1913) and the King George V class, ordered in 1936. They served extensively in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian oceans during World War II. The Rodney was made famous by her role in the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941. The author describes their technical aspects, precisely describing the differences between them. Both ships are described and illustrated with full technical specifications.

Among the critical questions that Rodney dealt with whether he was in Tanzania, Jamaica or his native Guyana (formerly British Guiana) was the character of the postcolonial state and its relationship with the working people. It is his engagement with politics that guided his research into African and Caribbean history. In the post-World War II era the colonial powers had regrouped and were rebuilding Europe with the strong financial and political support of the capitalist United States. The Soviet Union, one of the victors over German fascism, was the other power on the world scene. It was communist, and engaged in a Cold War with the United States, the dominant global power. China under Mao Tse Tung was the other communist state that had emerged after the 1949 revolution with a huge rural population, much poverty and a low level of industrialization. Capitalist and socialist powers vied for the hearts and minds of the peoples of Asia, Africa and the Caribbean that were shaking off the shackles of colonialism. Latin American countries which had achieved their political independence in the nineteenth century were caught up in this nationalist surge as they battled with neo-colonialism. They battled with Spain their colonial overlord, but also with the United States which regarded Latin America and the Caribbean as its backyard and intervened as it saw fit to pursue its strategic military, political and economic goals. The Garvey and labor movements of the 1920s and 1930s in the Caribbean as well as communist and national liberation movements in the twentieth century helped to shape Walter Rodney’s political awareness. His parents’ generation was actively involved in the anti-colonial movement in British Guiana in the 1940s and 1950s, and in the 1960s and 1970s Rodney himself helped to shape the ideas around African and Caribbean decolonization, Pan-Africanism, and Marxism.
Walter Rodney, a leading historian of Africa, a political activist and Caribbean intellectual before his untimely death in 1980, taught African History in Jamaica at the University of the West Indies Mona Campus in the late 1960s. Lewis’ article revisits Rodney’s political activism during this period within the context of pre-existing social movement among the urban poor and Rastafarian brethren. Rodney was expelled from the island in 1968 by the Jamaican government. Lewis argues that his expulsion was based on the fear that Rodney’s interactions with the urban poor and Rastafarian brethren could lead to the emergence of a radical political ideology which would pose a threat to the Jamaican political system and its power structure. This republication, along with Walter Rodney’s Intellectual and Political Thought (The Press UWI 1998), also by the same author, is timely as it marks the 30th anniversary of Rodney’s expulsion from Jamaica on 16 October 1968.

The Legacy of Walter Rodney in Guyana and the Caribbean

Walter Rodney claimed developing countries were heirs to uneven development and ethnic disequilibrium, including continued forms of oppression from the capitalist countries and their own leaders. In Guyana, ethnic chauvinism persisted before and after independence from Britain. Rodney was disturbed by the inability of intellectuals to share common cause with the masses, thus ensuring that they would be unable to contribute to uplifting their talents or participate in the growth of the nation. Guyana and the Caribbean were subject to sugar and slave traffic that constituted cheap labor for the plantations and buttressed the capitalist-industrial system. A significant byproduct of that system was the master-slave relationship; a no-less iniquitous consequence was an active racism. Thus, social inequality became the heritage of Guyanese and Caribbean history. These social evils have influenced all of the social, economic, and political institutions in Guyana. Race, class, and color became the determinants of social value and how the various racial groups responded to them is both the triumph and the tragedy of Guyanese nationalism. Rodney belongs in that pantheon of philosophers whose names adorn the history of the Caribbean and elsewhere. He has sought to lift the Caribbean people from the victimization of history and the poverty of material circumstance.
What would it be like if you could see angels and demons? For Rodney, a hilariously uncoordinated teenager with a large mop of curly red hair, it's pretty weird. It's hard enough getting through biology class without having to try to ignore everyone's guardian angel-much less his own, who by the way, sounds like a throwback to the Elizabethan era. Just when Rodney convinced his own angel to talk like a person from this century, Satan showed up. It would have been terrifying if the angel of darkness didn't look exactly like Jude Law, and if he weren't holding a box of Sprinkles cupcakes. Fans of Pastor Joseph Prince and his preaching will love this book.
