Harry Chang is very good on this. See his “Toward
a Marxist Theory of Racism” (two essays by Harry Chang), edited by Paul Liem and Eric Montague in Review of Radical Political
Economics, Vol. 17, No. 3, Fall, 1985, pp. 34-45. (Special Issue: The Political
Economy of Race and Class, Gary Dymski, ed.).

CB: What type of thing does Marx mean when he refers to a
"Negro"CB: What type
of thing does Marx mean when he refers to a "Negro" ? A national
colonial group
? Or does he mean a group whose skin is "branded" or whose skin
is a brand ? A
group defined by its land, language, history ? Or a physical characteristic, a
phenotype ?
Is not Marx using the concept of race when he refers to Negroes ?
