The Point Is to Change the World

The Guyanese activist Andaiye (1942–2019) is considered one of the most transformative figures in the struggle for social and political rights in the post-Independence Caribbean, working with colleagues as diverse as Walter Rodney, George Lamming, the Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action (CAFRA), and the groundbreaking Red Thread collective. She was also a writer, and her essays, speeches, letters, and interviews have now been collected in the revitalising volume The Point Is to Change the World. Editor Alissa Trotz is joined by scholar-activists Carole Boyce Davies, Honor Ford-Smith, and Sunity Maharaj for a powerful conversation about Andaiye’s legacies for today’s Caribbean, and how the intersections of gender, race, and class will shape tomorrow’s world.
