Marxist Theory, Black/African Specificities, and Racism
Babacar Camara
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. So
far, Marxist theory has been excluded because it is supposedly class and
economy reductionist, but the essence of this theory-dialectic-not only
proves that it is a meaningful way of seeing racism for what it truly
is, but also a way of filtering through the plethora of interpretations
of what constitutes race. The timeliness of the approach should help
revive discussion on ethnophilosophy as an ideology. So much academic
consideration has led scholars to seriously underestimate ideology's
extraordinary efficiency in blending into lived experience to the point
where much of its most telling effects have become undetectable. This
work suggests that critical theory must reorient itself and offers an
important discussion on the dominant discourse of poststructuralism,
postmodernism, postcolonialism, Marxism, African socialism, Négritude,
and Afrocentricity.
