Beskrivning
Rosa Luxemburg is unquestionably the most important historical European woman Marxist theorist. Significantly, for the purpose of creolizing the canon, she considered her continent and the globe from an Eastern Europe that was in constant flux and turmoil. From this relatively peripheral location, she was far less parochial than many of her more centrally located interlocutors and peers. Indeed, Luxemburg’s work touched on all the burning issues of her time and ours, from analysis of concrete revolutionary struggles, such as those in Poland and Russia, to showing through her analysis of primitive accumulation that anti-capitalist and anti-colonial struggles had to be intertwined, to considerations of state sovereignty, democracy, feminism, and racism. She thereby offered reflections that can usefully be taken up and reworked by writers facing continuous and new challenges to undo relations of exploitation through radical economic and social transformation Luxemburg touches on all aspects of what constitutes revolution in her work; the authors of this volume show us that, by creolizing Luxemburg, we can open up new paths of understanding the complexities of revolution.

Recensioner i media

Creolizing Rosa Luxemburg develops a pathbreaking approach to the work and legacy of the Jewish-Polish-German revolutionary. While Luxemburg’s works are well-known and often referred to in a globalizing left discourse, the question of how they are politically and culturally embedded – in particular in the non-Western world – has rarely been posed. The editors Drucilla Cornell and Jane Anna Gordon bring together an amazing group of authors to discuss the relevance of a „creolized“ Luxemburg to historical as well as contemporary issues such as slavery, the „primitive accumulation of whiteness“, migrant caravans, the Arab spring, contemporary South Africa, and the Black radical tradition. A must-read for everybody interested in socialist theory and practice.
