Presents information on the authors' association with writer Andre Gunder Frank whom he first met in a meeting of the World Congress of Sociology in Mexico City, Mexico. Though the internationalism of the Black Liberation Movement is certainly linked to Pan Africanism, there is a broader internationalism that had been inspired by Frank and others who had come to intellectual, political, and moral maturity while laboring to understand the world in order to change it in Africa, Asia, and Latin America during the 1950s and 1960s. Frank's stance is that underdevelopment results from the same processes that have produced development, and the development of capitalism itself is also the development of underdevelopment.
