Marx’s Civil War writings analyze race, class, and revolution in the US, the problems and possibilities of cross-racial class solidarity, proletarian internationalism in the anti-slavery cause, and the war as a second American revolution. These writings were no mere sideshow for Marx because, in Zimmerman’s words, “the influence of the American Civil War on Capital is unmistakable.”
Speakers:
Angela Zimmerman, editor of Marx and Engels, The Civil War in the United States
Kevin B. Anderson, author of Marx at the Margins: Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Non-Western Societies
August Nimtz, coauthor of The Communist and the Revolutionary Liberal in the Second American Revolution: Comparing Karl Marx and Frederick Douglass
