Racial oppression, Shachtman argues, can be comprehended only within the totality of social and class relations. The document culminates in a devastating polemic against the Communist Party's call for a Black Belt state in the American South. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA clarifying introduction by Christopher Phelps explains the document's historical genesis, compares it to the views of Trotsky and C. L. R. James, and evaluates it in light of subsequent theoretical and historical developments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Shachtman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859845126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859845127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.53w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2002 pg. 744\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2003 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 978\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2003","brand":"Max Shachtman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448001179903,"sku":"9781859845127","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_309f3ec6-ed25-44cd-a8fd-c34db2995df7.jpg?v=1777236232","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-and-revolution-max-shachtman-9781859845127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
