Black Marxism: A Marxist Critique

The Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature is delighted to host Professor August H. Nimtz, Distinguished Teaching Professor, Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota, at our first departmental colloquium in 2026-27.

Professor Nimtz will discuss his book, Black Marxism: A Marxist Critique (Monthly Review Press, 2026). Further details about the book and its reception can be found in the Monthly Review.

Our own Leif Turner, PhD candidate in Comparative Literature, will serve as the respondent.

Professor Nimtz has provided access to his book and the article Marxism and the National Question: A Valuable Lesson from America for those who would like to like review the materials before the colloquium.

All are welcome.
