Informationen zum Autor Charles Mills is professor of philosophy at the University of Illinois-Chicago. A specialist in Marxism, African-American philosophy, and critical race theory, he is the author of The Racial Contract (1997) and Blackness Visible (1998). Klappentext Mills argues for a new critical theory that develops the insights of the black radical political tradition.
