Focusing on dialectical thought, this book addresses critiques of Marxism's universalizing and authoritarian aspects from the left. Brian C. Lovato examines the ideas of heterodox Marxist thinkers Raya Dunayevskaya and C. L. R. James to propose a more democratic and dynamic interpretation of Marxism. This reimagined theory aims to support scholars and activists in their struggles against capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and heteronormativity, making Marxism relevant in today's complex socio-political landscape.
