Studies in Critical Social Sciences The Diversity of Exploitation

The Diversity of Exploitation presents a German audience with alternatives to liberal antiracism by introducing Marxist theory and concepts of racism research. We offer a political intervention in the current debate on structural and institutional racism, whether in the labor market or in the police force. In Germany, a liberal concept of racism is advocated by anti-discrimination agencies and the radical left alike. This approach is primarily concerned with representation, inclusion, and diversity. The connection between class and race is rarely addressed. Nevertheless, there exists a critical Marxist tradition of racism research. The Diversity of Exploitation seeks to draw upon this tradition. At the same time, the book offers a political intervention in the current debate on structural and institutional racism, whether in the labor market or in the police force. It presents alternatives to liberal antiracism by introducing a Marxist concept of racism in theory and practice.
