> "This excellent collection brings us right to the cutting edge of
> class analysis, social struggle and socio-economic liberation in
> Africa. For all the progress made these last years in understanding
> and promoting African social-movement mobilisation during the
> neoliberal epoch, a missing link has been labour - and this book now
> fills that crucial gap."

> CLASS STRUGGLE AND RESISTANCE IN AFRICA aims to reassert a radical
> tradition in African studies by examining the transformative impact
> of recent social movements on the African continent. It approaches
> these movements by critically engaging with the experience of Marxism
> in Africa and offering a contemporary Marxist analysis of the
> continent. The media increasingly fall back on racist notions of
> a 'heart of darkness' in Africa, at the same time as the academic
> left dismisses Marxism as Eurocentric. This book attempts to address
> these problems by uniting the continent under a class analysis. In so
> doing, it seeks to counter recent policies of austerity and
> globalization, and to launch a renaissance of radical thinking in
> Africa.
