Following transatlantic impact of the first and only book-length response from a Marxist perspectiveùCritical Race Theory and Education: A Marxist ResponseùCole includes a retrospective critique and development of certain arguments in that volume; an evaluation of the influential æRace TraitorÆ movement, including observations on the (changing) political perspectives of Ignatiev and Garvey; and reflections on racialized neoliberal capitalism in the era of austerity and immiseration. While acknowledging CRTÆs strengths, this book stresses the need for (neo-) Marxist analysis to fully understand and challenge racism in the UK and the US and to envision a socialism for the twenty-first century.
