Anti-racism as communism / Paul Gomberg. - xiii, 252 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm
Includes bibliographical references (229-242) and index.
"Anti-racism is a necessary part of modern political discourse, but too often it excludes the Marxist analysis of class and labor. Paul Gomberg argues that any anti-racism platform must discuss the entrenched inequality created by the capitalist system of exploitative labor relations. In this book, Gomberg re-orientates the history of modern America, to show how racism was built upon the exploitation of slave labor, and how this developed in the modern American polity as entrenched class and race-based discrimination. In particular, the history of the American Communist Party is studied as an example of how without anti-capitalism, racial injustice is reconstructed even through anti-racism campaigning. In this analysis, the only lasting way to establish an anti-racist society is to undo the capitalist system which has entrenched wealth in the hands of white settlers"--
