Race, Class and Intersectionality: Identity, Marxism and the Stakes of Recent Debates
While “intersectionality” has brought to the fore matters relating to gender, sexuality, (dis)ability and religious affiliation, Professor Barbara Foley will focus on those ramifications of the relationship between race and class that connect up with debates between Marxism and identitarianism. Key issues/terms that will be covered and/or interrogated include: Black radicalism and the Black radical tradition; Blackness and anti-Blackness; whiteness, white supremacy and white privilege; racial capitalism; racial contract; and classism.
