Inés Valdez

Professor Valdez works on the political theory of empire, Latin American Marxism, and racial capitalism. At the Institute, she is working on Marxist dependency theory. A recovery of this tradition demonstrates that it has important implications for pressing issues in anti-colonial political theory. These include postcolonial democracy, the perils of rehabilitating the New International Economic Order, and the place of political economy in theorizing empire and anti-colonialism.
