Marxist Theory, Black/African Specificities, and Racism By Babacar Camara
2008 | 146 Pages | ISBN: 073911056X | PDF | 4 MB
This book deals with substantive issues that have the potential to enhance our understanding regarding how Marxist theory can be quite useful in interpreting Black specificities and the race paradigm.
