(These essays are the result of a seminar held at the Graduate School of Stanford University with Ford Foundation support. They deal with the many aspects of imperialism in Latin America, racial minorities as colonial peoples in the U.S., the Black U.S. economy, the Chicanos in the U.S. and the Puerto Rican question in Puerto Rico and on the U.S. mainland.

This is un-Marxian, unsociological and mystical. Claude M. Lightfoot's Racism and Human Survival [1972] shows how the German Democratic Republic eradicated virulent Nazi racism in 25 years with a socialist economy and anti-racist education.)
