This book sheds a radical light on the issue of race, showing that social and racist discourses are ideological and political mystifications masking exploitation. It deals with substantive issues that have the potential to enhance our understanding how Marxist theory can be quite useful in interpreting the race paradigm.
Exploring the dynamics of societal change in African contexts, the book delves into whether structural transformations can unveil inherent patterns within these societies. It questions the universality of change versus its specificity to certain social structures. By engaging with Hegel's theories, it argues that they resonate with the realities of traditional African societies, countering notions of static existence. Additionally, the work highlights the depth of Hegel's dialectic, asserting its relevance in understanding contemporary issues, despite critiques from postmodern and ethnophilosophical perspectives.
