ALERT, ALERT!
The new Marx lecture is number six, not number five. The link just posted takes you to the correct lecture, but I must figure out how to edit the title so that it is correct. Rats! OK, all done. On to Number seven.
In this lecture you mentioned something about the last of the lectures in this series. I was wondering if you will at some point between now and then, cover something of interest that has never been covered as clearly as your lectures: colonialism in the context of Marxism. If you are going to cover the topic, no need to reply to this message.
I raise this topic since your Ideological Critique has not fully addressed this issue from a Marxist viewpoint. My own personal interest in this topic piqued after having read a breif aside from Susan Sontag. She maintained that racism in the West arose out of colonialism.
Another wonderful lecture. Thanks Prof. Wolff.
