[SOLVED] Third World Images in Film
QUESTION: Scholars of Eurocentric origin often argue that there is nothing of political, cultural, and economic significance to talk about in the Third World. They portray the Third World as the place of backwardness that never contributed anything of importance to world culture and civilization. This is especially the case with reference to Africa. Now, using this observation as your point of departure, discuss how Walter Rodney challenges these misrepresentations of the Third World with particular reference to Africa. As you compile your response, you are encouraged to make use of the documentary by Basil Davidson to complement Walter Rodney’s argument in the reading. Also, feel free to use other sources in the form of books, videos, documentaries, and articles. SOURCES: Go through the reading by Walter Rodney (“How Africa Developed Before the coming of the Europeans up to the 15th century” in How Europe Underdeveloped Africa: Pages 51 to 114) AND watch the documentary by Basil Davidson (https://youtu.be/X75COneJ4w8)
