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.

Report
"Women of Color around the world continue to suffer the devastating impact of racialized capitalism, despite historical efforts to promote gender equality. In A Revolutionary Subject: Pedagogy of Women of Color and Indigeneity, Lilia D. Monzó provides a much-needed Marxist-humanist rereading of coloniality and gendered exploitation to her engagement of the woman question, placing the voices and experiences of Women of Color at the center of the discourse. The result is an excellent treatise that challenges bourgeois liberal feminist notions of empowerment by reinvigorating the tradition of historical materialism with revolutionary gendered insights of indigeneity and class struggle." -Antonia Darder, Leavey Presidential Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership at Loyola Marymount University
