Abstract

This is an effort to argue that from the perspective of feminist theory we need to both excavate and transform Marxist theory to address issues of the present and the future. For me, these issues include most centrally taking analytic account of intersecting axes of domination along the lines of race, gender, and sexuality, as well as class. The central issue I want to address here is that of what Marxist theory, especially the dialectical understanding of the world contained in that theory, can provide in the way of resources for contemporary analysis.
