Today on Sojourner Truth:

We remember a key figure, woman and human rights campaigner in the Caribbean region, Andaiye. She was a collaborator and comrade of Walter Rodney. Rodney is known in the United States and around the world for his groundbreaking book, "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa." Andaiye died on May 31, 2019.

Today, we dig into the history of struggles in the region, their interrelationship to the struggles in which she was involved in, and struggles in the United States, the Americas and Europe. She worked mainly in the movement outside of government, but she was part of the CARICOM delegation to the final UN conference on women that was held in Beijing, China in 1995.

Andaiye's impact on the region and beyond is why her death is being so deeply felt " from Guyana, Jamaica, Haiti, England and elsewhere. Robin Kelly, head of Africana Studies at UCLA, is the author of the foreword to Andaiye's upcoming anthology, titled "The Point Is To Change The World."

We honor and remember our sister warrior who was against sexism, racism, imperialism and for racial unity, human rights and freedom. Our guests include a number of people who worked with her in Guyana but also in other parts of the world. They are Joy Marcus, Jocelyn Dow, Eusi Kwayana, Alissa Trotz, Selma James.
