Bücher von Brian C. (University of California Lovato

This book explores how it is that dialectical thought might respond to the critiques espoused by those on the left who are critical of Marxism¿s universalizing and authoritarian legacy. Brian C. Lovato turns to two heterodox Marxist thinkers, Raya Dunayevskaya and C. L. R. James, to construct a radically democratic, dynamic, and open conceptualization of dialectical thought. In doing so, he advances a vision of Marxist theory that might serve as a resource to scholars and activists committed not only to combatting capitalism, but also to fighting against colonialism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and heteronormativity. The writings of Dunayevskaya and James allow for Marxism to become relevant again in these tumultuous early years of the 21st century.
