Free Inquiry and Academic Freedom
Robert M. Berdahl, Hanna Holborn Gray, Bob Kerrey, Anthony Marx, Charles M. Vest, and Joseph Westphal Free Inquiry and Academic Freedom: A Panel Discussion among Academic Leaders k e r r e y I was asked earlier, when we had quite a good conversation— and I hope it can take off in the direction we were going, and without necessarily responding to my question—to start with a general ques tion. So I'll just give you a general question: During your …
Faith In Nation
Common wisdom has long held that the ascent of the modern nation coincided with the flowering of Enlightenment democracy and the decline of religion, ringing in an age of tolerant, inclusive, liberal states. Not so, demonstrates Anthony W. Marx in this landmark work of revisionist political history and analysis. In a startling departure from a historical consensus that has dominated views of nationalism for the past quarter century, Marx argues t…

Class discord and racial order
Do economic forces account for the construction of legal racial domination? Comparative historical analysis suggests that varying forms of official segregation and citizenship exclusion by race cannot be reduced to either rising competition or specific class interests. Apartheid in South Africa and Jim Crow in the United States both developed amid industrialisation but differed, notably in being less pervasive and more locally imposed in the US. …
Race Matters
Making Race and Nation
Making Race and Nation
Why and how has race become a central aspect of politics during this century? This book addresses this pressing question by comparing South African apartheid and resistance to it, the United States Jim Crow law and protests against it, and the myth of racial democracy in Brazil. Anthony Marx argues that these divergent experiences had roots in the history of slavery, colonialism, miscegenation and culture, but were fundamentally shaped by impedim…
Apartheid's end
South Africa's transition to inclusive democracy does not conform to the prevalent theories of either revolution, or élite controlled 'pact-making' as in Brazil. As a country long divided between supporters and opponents of racial domination, the loyalty of the former prevented a revolutionary overthrow, and the resistance of the latter drove and impinged upon negotiations. To account for South Africa's transition, we must take cognizance of the …
The Revolution Deferred
Race-Making and the Nation-State
Why was official racial domination enforced in South Africa and the United States, while nothing comparable to apartheid or Jim Crow was constructed in Brazil? Slavery and colonialism established the pattern of early discrimination in all three cases, and yet the postabolition racial orders diverged. Miscegenation influenced later outcomes, as did economic competition, but neither was decisive. Interpretations of these historical and economic fac…

Contested Citizenship
While scholarly discussions of citizenship, social movements and racial identity-formation have generally remained distinct, these social institutions and processes are intimately connected. Official policies of exclusion from citizenship according to race have drawn boundaries solidifying subordinated racial identity, which then forms the basis for collective action in response to shifting state policies. Forms of domination are thus two-edged; …

Lessons of Struggle
The State, Economy, and Self-Determination in South Africa
Political analysis has traditionally projected material structure or the power of ideologies as the primary determinant of popular movements and other pressures for social change. Applying either a reductionist materialism or a disembodied idealism to the South African conflict cannot fully explain variations in the political analysis and strategy of popular challenges to the minority regime, nor the likely outcome of such challenges. The dynamic…
Lessons of Struggle
Race, Nation, and Class Based Ideologies of Recent Opposition in South Africa
Differing tendencies within South Africa's internal opposition have long disputed the implications and relative salience of race, nation, and class for the oppressed. Activists' competing claims for the priority of any one or set of these concepts are often defended as the appropriate response to specific economic conditions or state policies. However, the applicability of race, nation, or class depends not only on such shifting material conditio…
South African Black Trade Unions as an Emerging Working-Class Movement
The Recent resumption of popular protest signals a new phase in South Africa's internal opposition, characterised notably by the rising political engagement of black labour unions and their federations. Membership in these unions has reached over a million workers, reflecting the dramatic expansion of South Africa's industrial manufacturing sector in the last 20 years. With severe restrictions placed on the leading national and local political or…
