Raya Dunayevskaya's Intersectional Marxism

Raya Dunayevskaya is one of the twentieth century's great but underappreciated Marxist and feminist thinkers. She developed a unique philosophy and practice of Marxist-Humanism, as well as an original reading of Hegelian dialectics and the deep humanism that informs Marx's thought. From these contributions, along with her writings on Rosa Luxemburg, and on Black and women's liberation, we are offered an indispensable resource for navigating the struggles of today. In this first-ever collection of essays on Dunayevskaya, a diverse group of writers revisits her rich legacy and brings to life her most important ideas. Kevin B. Anderson is Professor of Sociology, Political Science and Feminist Studies at University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. Kieran Durkin is Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Fellow at University of York, UK. Heather A. Brown is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Westfield State University, USA.
