Bibliographies

Much has been written about the intersection of race and capitalism. On this page, you will find a preliminary review of the recent social science literature. This literature review is very much a work in progress—current omissions include most of the debates on intersectionality and some of the classic black Marxist approaches to race and capitalism. We will be working continuously to update this literature review and to include the more classic treatments of questions concerning race and capitalism. We hope that this literature review will serve as a useful starting point for a concerted effort to develop a more exhaustive overview of the relevant literature. Any and all suggestions for changes and additions are most welcome and can be sent using our contact form.
