Marxism and postcolonial theory

The best-stocked shelves in left academia feature “postcolonial theory” and “decolonisation”. Many theoretical currents offer colonial/ decolonial, or settler/ indigenous, as axes of analysis and struggle, in place of Marxist or Marxist-influenced ideas around social and economic class. Which are the better guides to liberation? How do post/decolonial theories relate to Marxism?

As part of the Ideas for Freedom socialist festival (20-21 July), a panel will feature a range of differing perspectives and aims to debate the issues. Speakers: Martin Thomas, Dr. Camila Bassi, and Dr. Matteo Rizzo.

To attend this session please purchase a weekend, day or half-day ticket.
