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
"Lilia D. Monzó draws upon Marxist, humanist, and feminist theory, as well as theology of liberation, to develop a new type of pedagogy of the oppressed for the twenty-first century that connects the need to uproot capitalism with the equally necessary uprooting of racism, sexism, and heterosexism. She bases her argument on the writings, life experiences, and struggles of Women of Color and Indigenous women, from the barrios and ghettoes of the Americas to other sites of revolutionary ferment, from France to China and from Russia to Rojava. This remarkable and original work theorizes a type of radical pedagogy that can accompany, help sustain, and help deepen the critical consciousness of some of today's most important movements for revolution and social justice." -Kevin B. Anderson, Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Marx at the Margins
