Anna Yegorova and Pablo Escudero will engage Professor Kevin Anderson on his recently published monograph, The Late Marx’s Revolutionary Roads. In this work, Anderson carries out a systematic analysis of Marx’s Ethnological Notebooks and related texts on Russia, India, Ireland, Algeria, Latin America, and ancient Rome, with an eye to how viewing the world beyond the boundaries of Western modernity fundamentally alters our understanding of capitalism, empire, historical development, and revolutionary possibilities, past and present.

Kevin Anderson is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the author of numerous books and articles, including The Late Marx’s Revolutionary Roads; Marx at the Margins; Foucault and the Iranian Revolution (with Janet Afary); and Lenin, Hegel, and Western Marxism.
