{"product_id":"16725-salah-m-hassan","title":"Salah M. Hassan","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his text, Salah M. Hassan proposes a re-evaluation of African Marxism, thereby simultaneously aiming to free Marx—one of the most influential political thinkers of the 20th century—from Eurocentrism. During decolonization and the liberation movement in Africa and other parts of the Third World in the mid-20th century, which coincided with the beginnings of documenta, Marxist ideology became the intellectual leading culture. As examples of the innovative power and creativity of African\/Black Marxism, which are rarely considered in current research, Hassan brings together texts by two key figures: the political defense speech \u003ccite\u003eBy Virtue of Marxism, Your Honor\u003c\/cite\u003e (1956) by Abdel Khaliq Mahgoub (1927–1971), the founder of the Sudanese Communist Party, who was executed in 1971 along with other leading members of the party, and the \u003ccite\u003eLetter to Maurice Thorez\u003c\/cite\u003e (1956) by Aimé Césaire (1913–2008), the Martinican philosopher, poet, and critic, in which he explains the reasons for his later departure from the French Communist Party.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalah M.
