Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Overthe last decade, Cedric Robinsons Black Marxism: The Making of the BlackRadical Tradition has had a tremendous influence on scholars and activistsalike, deeply shaping debates on the place of race within capitalistsocieties. Is race subsumed by class, with the latter the sine qua non ofcapitalism? Do race and class act independently within modern societies? Ordoes capitalism inevitably express a deeper racial impetus in the West? Inthis, the first book-length discussion of Black Marxism, Nimtz lays out thelimits of Robinsons much-celebrated text, showing it represents asophisticated, but ultimately flawed, version of Black nationalism. Nimtzdefends Marxism from Robinsons accusations of myopia on matters of race,suggesting that, in charging Marx and Engels with Eurocentrism, he eitherfailed to understand, or misrepresented, their workand that, in effect, manythinkers inspired by Black Marxism blatantly misrepresented Marxist texts.Especially in his writings about the U.S. Civil War, Marx had far more to sayabout race than is commonly understood, Nimtz shows. An authentic Marxism, argues Nimtz, remains the most reliable real-worldmethod for human liberation, not least among peoples of African descent. Speakinghimself as a contemporary of Robinsons, Nimtz grounds Black Marxism: AMarxist Critique in an account of his own upbringing in New Orleans, and hisdevelopment throughout the struggles of the 1960s, explaining how and why hecame to radically different conclusions. Accessible and engaging, BlackMarxism: A Marxist Critique will be a significant intervention in therace-versus-class debate on the U.S. Left. No doubt, Nimtzs trenchantcritique will generate controversy, highlighting how more possibilities fortransracial class alliances exist than ever beforeand misguided theorieslike Robinsons prevent us from seeing that potential. His detailed rejoinderto Black Marxism is much needed." Veteran Marxist scholar and activist August Nimtz has given us in thismasterful study the most decisive intervention in many years in therace-versus-class debate. This work could not be more timely given theurgency of building proletarian consciousness and unity in the face of globalcapitalist crisis and the threat of fascism. As Professor Nimtz put it, thereis a fundamental incompatibility between the Black Marxism of CedricRobinson and the real Marxist project. He shows why Black Marxism is not only useless but in todays worlddangerous a chimera, a faux solution.William I.

Paperback. Condition: Good. According to Nimtz, no two people contributed more to the struggle for democracy in the nineteenth century than Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. Presenting the first major study of the two thinkers in the past twenty years and the first since the collapse of the Soviet Union, this book challenges many widely held views about their democratic credentials and their attitudes and policies on the peasantry, the importance of national self-determination, the struggle for women's equality, their so-called Eurocentric bias, political and party organizing, and the possibility for socialist revolution in an overwhelmingly peasant and underdeveloped country like late-nineteenth-century Russia.…

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Black Marxism: A Marxist Critique. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Nimtz uncovers in one that attempts to chart a course between plain opportunism and anarchist rejections of the electoral arena. Instead, electoral campaigns are seen as crucial for developing political education and organisation, and as a key way to measure your forces and communicate with the wider population. As radical left reformist projects, exemplified by Sanders and Corbyn, once again become a political force and the left has to think about what it means to run for office in a capitalist state, it's a good time to look back at how the left has historically conducted such debates.…
