A Revolutionary Subject: Pedagogy of Women of Color and Indigeneity (Education and Struggle)

__A Revolutionary Subject: Pedagogy of Women of Color and Indigeneity__ is a call to radical educators, grassroots organizers, and others on the left to recognize the enormous historical legacy of and potential for revolutionary praxis that exists among Women of Color and Indigeneity. This book revitalizes Marx’s dialectics to challenge class-reductionism, highlighting a class struggle that is also necessarily anti-racist, anti-sexist, and against all forms of oppression.
