Marxian theory and the third world

Banerjee, Diptendra (ed.)

Marxian theory and the third world - New Delhi Sage Pub. 1985 - 325 p.

An important addition to Marxian studies, this collection of original essays critically reviews, within the broad framework of Marxian and allied theory, several key Issues relating to the non-European world.

The non-European world has traditionally been considered to fall outside the mainstream of Marxian thought. This stimulating volume will go a long way to redress the balance and to restore to its proper place the Marxian problematic of the non-European world.

The papers in this collection have been written by a band of internationally respected Marx scholars hailing from all over the world thus providing a truly international perspective. What assists the insights they provide is that the contributors often differ in their theoretical

perspectives. The fifteen essays have been divided into

three sections. The first deals with various theoretical problems related to an understanding of the non-European world. The second tackles what may be called the 'riddle' of the Asiatic mode of production as well as certain associated problems including Marx's perceptions of India. The last section examines the application of Marxian theory to an understanding of Third World societies
