Beskrivning

Cedric Robinson’s widely acclaimed study on Marxism and race has enjoyed a celebratory renaissance in recent years, becoming commonplace across the disciplines and beyond to activist and left circles. The Antinomies of Black Marxism contests its now‑enormous influence, bringing together leading scholars of Marxism to reassess the decisive question of race and Marxist thought and practice. While varied in their approaches, the contributors all affirm that racism is a modern production of capitalist class exploitation. They put forth a trenchant and uncompressing critique of Black Marxism. They see Robinson’s transhistoric racialism and hostility to Marxism as politically dangerous to the extent that it propagates a race over a class consciousness that undermines working‑class unity. They place a premium on multiethnic, transnational proletarian struggle against capitalism at a time of epochal crisis in the global capitalist system. This indispensable compendium makes a timely contribution to contemporary debates on race, class, capitalism, and social inequality and is essential to classes on Black Studies and black social thought, as it provides a thorough analysis and critique of one of the landmark contemporary critical theorists in US political and social theory.

Recensioner i media

"There is a real need for this book, which will make an important Marxist intervention in various debates – not just the time-honoured race-class debate, but specifically in evaluations of Cedric Robinson’s enormously influential notions of ‘racial capitalism’ and the ‘Black Radical Tradition.’ Noting that, despite its misleading title, Black Marxism is actually an attack on Marxism, the authors observe that the book has achieved a kind of ‘cult status.’ The writings gathered here expose the reader for the first time to the most cogent Marxist responses that the book has invited since its original publication in 1983."Barbara Foley, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of English at Rutgers University and author of Marxist Literary Criticism Today (2019)"Given the current state of our world, where class exploitation has reached unimaginable levels and fascist politics rule the day, The Antimonies of Black Marxism could not have been better timed. It is a class informed genealogy of the term ‘racial capitalism’ that allows us to see how the term itself, which was offered as an alternative to class politics, is itself a creation of the very dynamic that it purports to have transcended. A truly critical sociology of knowledge, the text not only helps us to understand world (inside and outside the academy) as it is, it gives us the tools we will need to change it."Zine Magubane, Professor of Sociology, Boston College
