Grounding Critique shows that Marxism must have a robust understanding of social relations, such as race, gender, and sexuality, if it wants to produce the knowledge we need to transform society.
Tanyildiz subjects two important strands of Marxist social theory—Marxist-feminism and social reproduction theory (SRT)—to a methodological examination and demonstrates their shortcomings. Focusing on these strands’ critiques of intersectionality through the study of concept formation, Grounding Critique explores alternative ways of using Marx’s method to understand contemporary human praxis.
Gökbörü Sarp Tanyildiz is an Associate Professor of Sociology and the Director of Social Justice Research Institute at Brock University, Canada. As a theoretical methodologist of the social sciences and humanities, his research focuses on concept formation in social and spatial theories of Marxism, racial capitalism, and social reproduction.
