The Structure of Peripheral Capitalism
There was a pervasive belief in classical Marxism that despite the destructive and exploitative nature of colonial capitalism, it would nevertheless, historically, fulfill a regenerative role for colonized societies.

The State in Post-Colonial Societies
The object of this article is to raise some fundamental questions about the classical Marxist theory of the State in the context of post-colonial societies.
