Highlights
Two chapters are dedicated to understanding the communist threat in Jamaica and Grenada
Kingston: University of the West Indies Press, 2010. ix + 284 pp. (Paper US$ 30.00). In this collection of essays, Charles Mills gives us insight into his intellectual socialization growing up in Jamaica, studying in Canada, and teaching in the United States. These experiences influenced his understanding of issues relating to class, race, and social domination, and the way these concepts are sanitized in the United States, to overlook the “centrality of racial domination.”
Mills suggests that there are at least three uses of the term ideology in Marxism: “unequivocal and epistemic pejorative,” “univocal and epistemic neutral,” and “equivocal”
Summary
Two chapters are dedicated to understanding the communist threat in Jamaica and Grenada. In this collection of essays, Charles Mills gives us insight into his intellectual socialization growing up in Jamaica, studying in Canada, and teaching in the United States. These experiences influenced his understanding of issues relating to class, race, and social domination, and the way these concepts are sanitized in the United States, to overlook the “centrality of racial domination.” Mills suggests that there are at least three uses of the term ideology in Marxism: “unequivocal and epistemic pejorative,” “univocal and epistemic neutral,” and “equivocal” (which is used in two ways, “as a pejorative and a neutral non pejorative sense”).
