Marx at the Margins Summary

Marx at the Margins: On Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Non-Western Societies by Kevin B. Anderson

In "Marx at the Margins", Kevin B. Anderson uncovers a variety of extensive but neglected texts by Marx that cast what we thought we knew about his work in a startlingly different light. Analyzing a variety of Marx's writings, including journalistic work written for the "New York Tribune", Anderson presents us with a Marx quite at odds with our conventional interpretations. Rather than providing us with an account of Marx as an exclusively class-based thinker, Anderson here offers a portrait of Marx for the twenty-first century: a global theorist whose social critique was sensitive to the varieties of human social and historical development, including not just class, but nationalism, race, and ethnicity, as well. "Marx at the Margins" ultimately argues that despite his overarching critique of capital, Marx created a theory of history that was multilayered and not easily reduced to a single model of development or revolution. Through highly informed readings of work ranging from Marx's unpublished 1879-92 notebooks to his passionate writings about the antislavery cause in the United States, this volume delivers a groundbreaking and canon-changing vision of Karl Marx that is sure to provoke lively debate in Marxist scholarship and beyond.

Marx at the Margins Reviews

"Anderson may just have provided the burgeoning Marx industry with another major focus for its research and debates. Marx at the Margins reveals a dimension of Marx that is very little known and even less understood. This is an incredibly innovative, interesting, and terribly important book - one that will greatly benefit anyone interested in ideas." - Bertell Ollman, New York University"
