Raya Dunayevskaya
THE RAYA DUNAYEVSKAYA
COLLECTION
The Raya Dunayevskaya Collection — Marxist-Humanist Archives is
now online.
News and Letters Committees is
proud to announce that the Archives of the Marxist-Humanist
philosopher/revolutionary, Raya Dunayevskaya (1910-1987), are now available
online.
The Collection encompasses the body of ideas of
Marxist-Humanism developed by Dunayevskaya during a lifetime in the
revolutionary movement. Its over 17,000 pages are a resource for students,
researchers and activists in fields as diverse as philosophy, women's studies,
social theory, intellectual history and Black studies.
Among the writings, many unavailable in printed form, are
pioneering studies on the theory of state-capitalism, English-language
translations of the young Marx and Lenin's Hegel Notebooks, extensive notes on
Hegel's major philosophic works, writings on Black struggles in the U.S. from
the 1940s to the 1980s, Political-Philosophic Letters on events spanning the
world as they were occurring—from the Cuban Missile Crisis through the Iranian
Revolution to the coup in Grenada. A far-reaching Battle of Ideas with other
Marxists is found in the comprehensive collection of her columns, which first
appeared in the newspaper she founded, News & Letters.
The vast preparatory materials for her three major
books Marxism and Freedom, Philosophy and Revolution, and Rosa Luxemburg, Women's Liberation, and Marx's Philosophy of Revolution are
included, as are her extensive preliminary writings for her unfinished book on
"Dialectics of Organization and Philosophy."
There is a wide-ranging collection of correspondence,
including with: Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, Leon Trotsky, Natalia Trotsky,
Adrienne Rich, Grace Lee Boggs, C.L.R. James, Cornelius Castoriadis, Meridel
LeSueur, Nnamdi Azikwe, Tadayuki Tsushima, Zagorka Golubovic, Louis Dupré,
Sekou Toure and Maria Barreno.
