Raya Dunayevskaya's Intersectional Marxism

Raya Dunayevskaya is one of the twentieth centurys great but underappreciated Marxist and feminist thinkers. Her unique philosophy and practice of Marxist-Humanismas well as her grasp of Hegelian dialectics and the deep humanism that informs Marxs thoughthas much to teach us today. From her account of state capitalism (part of her socio-economic critique of Stalinism, fascism, and the welfare state), to her writings on Rosa Luxemburg, Black and womens liberation, and labor, we are offered indispensable resources for navigating the perils of sexism, racism, capitalism, and authoritarianism. This collection of essays, from a diverse group of writers, brings to life Dunayevskayas important contributions. Revisiting her rich legacy, the contributors to this volume engage with her resolute Marxist-Humanist focus and her penetrating dialectics of liberation that is connected to Black, labor, and womens liberation and to struggles over alienation and exploitation the world over. Dunayevskayas Marxist-Humanism is recovered for the twenty-first century and turned, as it was with Dunayevskaya herself, to face the multiple alienations and de-humanizations of social life.
