An Anthropology of Marxism

Cedric Robinson was one of the most important and influential Black radical scholars of recent times best known for the pathbreaking Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition. In this late major work he turns his attention to European radical traditions and explores a genealogy of emancipatory thought and practice that predates Marxism and capitalism itself and which continues to guide struggles for liberation today. Accompanied by a foreword by H. L.T. Quan and a preface by Avery Gordon this invaluable text reimagines the communal ideal from a broader perspective that transcends modernity industrialisation and capitalism.
