Ragged Revolutionaries: The Lumpenproletariat and African American Marxism in Depression-Era Literature
Nathaniel Mills
The lumpenproletariat was an overlooked, mode of African American Marxism formed during the Great Depression by black writers on the Communist left. Analyzing multiple works from the period, Mills shows how Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and Margaret Walker used the lumpenproletariat to imagine new forms of revolutionary knowledge and agency.
