Author *Ranabir Samaddar* speaks to his new book, "Karl Marx and the
Postcolonial Age." His book is a response to his own frustration with
previous conversations on the topic, notably the Vivek Chibber-Subaltern
Studies debates.  This book places Marxism in the context of the
post-colonial age. Those who study Marx often lack an understanding of
post-colonial realities. Conversely, however, those who fashion
post-colonial theory often have an inadequate understanding of Marx. Many
think that Marx is not relevant to critique postcolonial realities and his
legacy seldom reaches the post-colonial countries directly. This work will
read Marx in the contemporary post-colonial condition and elaborate on the
current dynamics of post-colonial capitalism.

*Paula Rauhala*, a PhD candidate and a part time teacher at the University
of Tampere is co-hosting this event. Her forthcoming thesis deals with
relations between East and West German readers of Capital from 1967
onwards. She is an assistant editor of Marx, Engels, and Marxisms
(Palgrave).

*Kira Moodliar*, a graduate of McGill’s School of Environment in Montreal,
is the other co-host. Currently, Kira is working with open data around
housing justice and engaging in community-driven data analytics.
