Marx’s View of the Global South

Marx's View of the Global South (Event Poster)

Venue: Makassar – Jakarta

Date and time: Makassar, 21st July – 16.00; Jakarta, 7th August – 17.00

The talk challenges the long-lasting misrepresentation of Marx as a Eurocentric and economistic thinker who was fixated only on class conflict. It allows to reconsider Marx’s ideas in light of late remarks on non-Western societies, anthropology, and the critique of European colonialism and shows how Marx escaped the trap of economic determinism into which many of his followers fell.
