Description:
Carlos Moore examines the philosophy of Marx and Engels to determine if there is a measure of racism underpinning its creation. He uses research extracted from the letters exchanged between Marx, Engels and other theoreticians of the era in order to display that a limited field of study regarding the history of non-western societies along with the prevailing racial overtones of the age contributed to causing Marx and Engels to engage in fashioning a philosophy with less universal application than is frequently attributed to it.
