- Synopsis
- &‘There is no socialism after liberation, socialism is the process through which liberation is won.&’ Each of the essays in Communities of Resistance acts as a critical reaffirmation of socialist politics as the context for questions of race and resistance.The left itself is under scrutiny here—from a black perspective. A series of powerful interventions covers many of the issues which have confronted radical politics in the 1980s: inner-city uprisings, the demand for black sections in the Labour Party, local government anti-racism, the move to a common European market. This collection included incisive critiques of contemporary Marxism (&‘All that Melts into Air is Solid: The Hokum of &“New Times&” &’), of post-colonial development, and of the Eurocentric assessment of imperialism.
