This book mediates between postcolonial positions that criticize Marxist approaches (and Marxs 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 Marxs 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 modernitys global entanglement. Against this background, two opportunities simultaneously arise: Marxs Eurocentrism can be deconstructed and his growing awareness of global developments and cosmopolitan struggles established.
