Class, Race, and Marxism
Synopsis
David Roediger, a key figure in whiteness studies, presents a collection of his recent and new work that challenges the notion he abandoned Marxism for identity politics. Through historical studies of race, settler colonialism, and slavery, and essays on race and labor management, Roediger argues that racial division is deeply embedded in the history and logic of capitalism. This volume details the Marxist origins of critical whiteness studies and reflects on the history of solidarity.
