A Marxist Mosaic
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-70330-8 (ISBN)
Historical materialism as Marx understood this was always an integrated conception or field of research, not one divided into separate disciplines. The essays gathered in this volume are a remarkable example of how this works across a wide range of subjects as diverse as agrarian history, capitalism, Hegel’s influence on Marx, and class struggles in India. They were written over some fifty years of both activism and academic work, embodying Banaji’s lifelong engagement with Marxist theory. His recent papers on merchant capitalism can also be found here, along with a biographical sketch that sets all of his work in context.
Jairus Banaji, DPhil (Oxon), is with the Department of Development Studies, SOAS, University Of London. His earlier books include Agrarian Change in Late Antiquity (2007), Theory as History (2011), and A Brief History of Commercial Capitalism (2020).
