African American Political Thought by Melvin L. Rogers

Their essay focuses primarily on race in America, although their arguments could apply to any group penalized by subordination and domination by means of a racial, ethnic, gendered, or religious hierarchy. They, therefore, advocate for inclusive economic rights. They argue that “creating a moral political economy requires that identity ceases to have transactional value.” 2 Chelwa, Hamilton, and Green make this point clearly and strongly they also offer some correctives. This selective ignorance itself helps reinforce racial bias by treating a deracialized account of the economy as the appropriate analytic baseline. 1Ĭlass stratification certainly receives attention, but other identity group stratifications hardly at all. Race and diversity have been neglected in virtually every capitalist political economic framework ever implemented or even conceptualized, including the public choice theory and Marxian accounts that Grieve Chelwa, Darrick Hamilton, and Avi Green identify. Among her books are Of Rule and Revenue (1988) Consent, Dissent, and Patriotism (1997) and In the Interest of Others: Organizations and Social Activism (with John Ahlquist, 2013).
