Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book examines contemporary black activism in South Manchester, juxtaposing it with C.L.R. James's activism from 1935 to 1950. It explores the connections between current events like Brexit, the Labour Party, and racism audits in the UK, and historical contexts such as the decline of the British Empire and trade unions. By engaging with James' theories on capitalism, neoliberalism, and post-colonialism, the author utilizes dialectical materialism to analyze social justice issues from a UK ethnic minority perspective, incorporating insights from thinkers like Fanon and Marx.
