Title : | 3 Into 1 : The Triple Oppression Of Racism, Sexism, And Class | Material Type: | printed text | Authors: | Klaus Viehmann, Author ; translated by Arm The Spirit, Author | Publisher: | The PS Copycats | Publication Date: | 2005 | Languages : | English (eng) | Descriptors: | Colonialism, Imperialism & World Politics Labour, Poverty and Class Race/Anti-Racism
| Abstract: | From the introduction: "...this paper is very risk. As a discussion paper, even a preliminary once, it runs the risk of errors - but this is better than the dubious safety of silence. The background of this paper is a long discussion between leftist women (mainly) and men, conducted mostly through prisoners' letters. In the end, it was put together in jail with the "view from the distance" which overlooks many day-to-day details, but which can (therefore?) see further than just the neighbor's fence. The purpose of the discussion was to critique a handed-down class analysis which is prejudiced and dominated by patriarchal thoughts and which is pervaded by racism. The analysis of global or local oppression - and exploitation - mechanisms was always blurred by economics, making the existence of patriarchy and racism "invisible". It divided struggles into primary and secondary contradictions and covered the world in a white, Eurocentric mold." |
