Marx, Marxism and the Question of Eurocentrism
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-81822-7 (ISBN)
This book mediates between postcolonial positions that criticize Marxist approaches (and Marx's writings) for their Eurocentrism and defenders of Marx, who claim that this accusation is a myth. In different contributions to this volume, Kolja Lindner pleads for a differentiated assessment of the whole of Marx's work, including less known manuscripts, and a theoretical reconstruction of various elements that have come into the focus of postcolonial critique: ethnocentrism, Orientalism, false universalism and the oblivion of modernity's global entanglement. Against this background, two opportunities simultaneously arise: Marx's Eurocentrism can be deconstructed and his growing awareness of global developments and cosmopolitan struggles established.
lt;p>Kolja Lindner is Lecturer in the Departments of German Studies and Political Science, at University Paris 8, France.

"Lindner's book is a welcome contribution to the debate about Marx's views on the non-Western world. ... debates on various forms of labor are relevant for everyone interested in the history of global capitalism." (Felix, H-Soz-Kult, hsozkult.de, September 29, 2023)
