Publisher's Synopsis
While there recently has been renewed interest in Marx, we cannot simply apply his more than 160-year-old texts to today's world. Capitalism, after all, has not only taken on new shapes, in the context of the climate crisis, mass incarceration, and global migration; it has also intensified its exploitation of racialised and feminised workers, while finding new ways of co-opting them. Across the disciplinary boundaries of philosophy, literary and cultural studies, this volume revives Marx's rich conceptual apparatus to shed light on his Black, feminist, trans and queer »others&« in order to understand race and gender as part of the capitalist totality, and to strike more fundamentally at the heart of contemporary capitalism.
