MARX ENGELS AND MARXISMS KARL MARX AND THE PO...

This book seeks to explicitly engage Marxist and post-colonial theory to place Marxism in the
context of the post-colonial age. Those who study Marx  particularly in the West  often lack an
understanding of post-colonial realities  conversely  however  those who fashion post-colonial
theory often have an inadequate understanding of Marx. Many think that Marx is not relevant to
critique postcolonial realities and the legacy of Marx seldom reaches the post-colonial
countries directly. This work will read Marx in the contemporary post-colonial condition and
elaborate the current dynamics of post-colonial capitalism. It does this by analysing
contemporary post-colonial history and politics in the framework of inter-relations between the
three categories of class  people  and postcolonial transformation. Examining the structure of
power in postcolonial countries and revisiting the revolutionary theory of dual power in that
context  it appreciates and explains the transformative potentialities of Marx in relation to
post-colonial condition.
