This book will provide readers with a short and accessible introduction to a Marxist theory for our times. More specifically, it will present and argue for an anti-racist queer feminist historical materialism (ARQFHM). This is a theoretical approach that critically appropriates the best of Marx and Marxism (including recent ecological Marxism) and fuses it with key contributions developed by non-Marxist anti-racist queer feminists to generate a non-reductionist way of explaining contemporary societies and historical developments as well as guiding action for social change.
