The Unhappy Marriage between Marxism and Race Critique: Political Economy and the Production of Racialized Knowledge
Leonardo, Zeus
Policy Futures in Education, v2 n3-4 p483-493 2004
In educational policy theory orthodox Marxism is known for its commitment to objectivism or the science of history. Race analysis is developed in its ability to explain the subjective dimension of racial oppression. The two theories are often at odds with each other. This article is an attempt to create a theory by integrating Marxist objectivism and race theory's focus on subjectivity. As a result, both Marxism and race analysis are strengthened in a way that maintains the integrity of each discourse. This benefits educational policy theory because praxis is the dialectical attempt to synthesize the inner and external processes of schooling.
