Raya Dunayevskaya is one of the twentieth century's great but
underappreciated Marxist and feminist thinkers. Her unique
philosophy and practice of Marxist-Humanism-as well as her grasp of
Hegelian dialectics and the deep humanism that informs Marx's
thought-has much to teach us today. From her account of state
capitalism (part of her socio-economic critique of Stalinism,
fascism, and the welfare state), to her writings on Rosa Luxemburg,
Black and women's liberation, and labor, we are offered
indispensable resources for navigating the perils of sexism,
racism, capitalism, and authoritarianism. This collection of
essays, from a diverse group of writers, brings to life
Dunayevskaya's important contributions. Revisiting her rich legacy,
the contributors to this volume engage with her resolute
Marxist-Humanist focus and her penetrating dialectics of liberation
that is connected to Black, labor, and women's liberation and to
struggles over alienation and exploitation the world over.
Dunayevskaya's Marxist-Humanism is recovered for the twenty-first
century and turned, as it was with Dunayevskaya herself, to face
the multiple alienations and de-humanizations of social life.

Interest in Fromm is increasing: as a prominent Marxist,
sociologist, psychoanalytic theorist, and public intellectual, the
unique normative-humanist thrust of his writings provides a crucial
critical reference point for those seeking to understand and
transcend the societal pathologies of our age. The essays in this
volume retrieve, revive, and expand upon Fromm's central insights
and contributions. They offer a critical theory of culture, the
self, psychology and society that goes beyond what is typical of
the narrower concerns of the fragmented and isolated disciplines of
today, demonstrating the pan-disciplinary potential of Fromm's
work. But this book does not simply reassert Fromm's ideas and
rehash his theories, but rather reconstructs them to bring them
into meaningful dialogue with contemporary ideas and cultural,
political and economic developments. Providing new approaches to
Fromm's ideas and work brings them up-to-date with contemporary
problems and debates in theory and society and helps us understand
the challenges of our times.
