This workshop will assess the conceptual and political implications of Marxism’s expansion beyond Europe. Given the scarcity of scholarship presenting a “South-South” perspective on Marxist theory and practice, I will place previous work concerning the critical reception and translation of Marxism in Latin America in dialogue with other traditions from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. The aim will be to move beyond a tendency within traditional Marxist historiography to treat peripheral regions as isolated cases rather than sites of theoretical elaboration with universal implications.
