Abstract:

“I will compare and contrast the thought of C.L.R. James, Raya Dunayevskaya, and James Boggs in the 1950s to early 60s, focusing on their efforts to make sense of industrial automation and project new goals for revolutionary movements. This is the period when James Boggs’ and Grace Lee Boggs’ distinctive philosophical orientation, dialectical humanism, begins to emerge.”
