Third World Images in Film PAS: Reflection Paper

One of the most pervasive arguments in films about the Third World produced in the West is that colonialism
benefitted the Third World by introducing western education. Focusing on pages 376-414 of this seminal book,
compile a reflective narrative of the reasons that Rodney advances to counter the eurocentric view, often
peddled in films produced in the West, that Third World countries should be thankful that colonialism blessed
them with western education.
-To respond to this question effectively, please read through pages 376-414 of Walter Rodney's book How
Europe Underdeveloped Africa (1973).
