Author of Neoliberalism Globalization Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance

 

Rev. Renaldo McKenzie (1979 -) is a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and the author of the new book, “Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance.” He was born in Jamaica to Rev. Bernella and the Late Rev. Lurkenum McKenzie, and studied Economics at Bridgeport High School and Excelsior Community College, and Theology and Counseling Psychology at the Jamaica Theological Seminary. After completing his Ministerial formation, he was ordained to the Ministry of Word and Sacrament by the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. While in ministry Renaldo founded the Andrew’s Memorial United Church Health Clinic which serves the local community in Mandeville Jamaica. Renaldo also worked with a quasi-government agency in Jamaica after his service with the church had ended to assist with planning and implementing a national youth service project with the national youth services and the Jamaica Values and Attitudes Project. Renaldo migrated to the US in 2009 and developed an interest in Neoliberalism, Globalization, poverty and inequality after his first year as a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. After watching the film “life and debt” in a class at Penn Renaldo embarked on studying Neoliberal Globalization which helped him to write his first book: Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance” published April 2021. Renaldo has since gone on to complete a post graduate degree which continued to look at the concepts discussed in this book but focuses on “globalization in the post-industrial world”, the American context with American scenarios. This is the focus of his current dissertation at Georgetown University where he is reading for his Doctorate. Renaldo is also an Adjunct Professor and is working on three other books “The Secrets to Unlocking Divine Intervention”, “The Other Side of the Brain Drain” and “The Idea of God”.
