Through diverse theoretical and empirical investigations on race, racism and Marxism, the
authors advance cutting-edge formulations and insights. The scope of the work is impressive,
but equally impressive is the depth of analysis in each chapter.

Racism after Apartheid, volume four of the Democratic Marxism series, brings together leading scholars and activists from around the world studying and challenging racism. In eleven thematically rich and conceptually informed chapters, the contributors interrogate the complex nexus of questions surrounding race and relations of oppression as they are played out in the global South and global North. Their work challenges Marxism and anti-racism to take these lived realities seriously and consistently struggle to build human solidarities.

About the editor

Over the years Marxism has sustained scathing criticism for its alleged class reductionism and
blindness to race. Without pronouncing fi nality on these issues, this volume examines the
unfi nished business of Marxism and its treatment of race and racism.

This collection challenges many of the dogmas that have defi ned issues of anti-racism and
social justice in the past. In this spirit of rethinking, the contributors point us in the necessary
direction of deepening and evolving non-racialism in contemporary South Africa.

How to navigate race and defeat racism is one of the great questions facing social justice
activists. Upon it hinges success or failure. This volume will not only guide thought, it will also
guide action. That makes it a most valuable contribution.
