Marxism and Decolonization in the 21st Century: Living Theories and True Ideas
About this ebook
Featuring leading and young scholars and activists, this book is a practical scholarly intervention that shows how democratic Marxism and decoloniality might converge to provoke planetary decolonization in the 21st century. At the centre of this process, enabled by both increasing human entanglements and the resilience of racism, the volume's contributors analyse converging forces of anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, anti-patriarchy, anti-sexism, Indigenous People’s movements, eco-feminist formations, and intellectual movements levelled against Eurocentrism.
This book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and intellectuals interested in Marxism, decolonization, and transnational activism.
