Updated this page with recent reflections by Yarimar Bonilla; Drexel Woodson & Brackette Williams. Particularly notable from Woodson & Williams about what Rolph was working on: "Debilitating aneurysms in January 2002 brought Rolph’s multifaceted research projects to an abrupt halt. Although he remained mentally alert and curious about worldly affairs for most of the following decade, he could not complete his most ambitious project, “The West.” The project, ranging from the Renaissance to the present, intended to combine a trenchant critique of European colonialism and Euro-American capitalism with a thorough investigation of possibilities for cultural creativity and constructive political-economic development for peoples too often considered the objects of world history or marginal to its main crosscurrents."
