		Raya Dunayevskaya was born in the Ukraine and brought to the USA by her parents as a child.
		Dunayevskaya also, developing her critique of state capitalism, they began to apply it not only to capitalist society and stalinist russia but to the bureaucratic elements in the labour movement itself.
		For James and Dunayevskaya it was also a chance to see the possibility of spontaneous action which, largley due to the unorganised nature of the disputes, gave credence to their position that it was the workers themselves and not parities who were the most important force in the revolutionary struggle.

	Raya Dunayevskaya
		Raya Dunayevskaya (1910–1987) is the founder of the philosophy of Marxist-Humanism.
		In two letters written May 12 and 20, 1953, she deepened her study of the Hegelian dialectic and saw in Hegel's Absolutes a dual movement—a movement from practice that is itself a form of theory and a movement from theory reaching to philosophy.
		Raya Dunayevskaya's speeches, letters, publications, notes, recordings and other items are located in the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University in Detroit.

	socialism and democracy
		Dunayevskaya argued that state ownership is an altogether inadequate approach to resolving the contradictions of capitalism.
		For Dunayevskaya the dialectic of negativity is the notion that forward movement emerges from the negation of obstacles to freedom.
		Dunayevskaya succeeds in showing that Marx was engaged throughout his life in a compre- hensive project of human liberation, the bringing about of a new society based on new human relations.

	Anne Fairchild Pomeroy: "Why Marx, Why Now?: A Recollection of Dunayevskaya's Power of Negativity"
		What is clear is that Dunayevskaya herself was still in the process of drawing the disparate pieces of her analysis together.
		In Hegel, Dunayevskaya found the answers to her questions about the nature of the revolution and what is to come in or as the post-revolutionary epoch.
		For Dunayevskaya this was the negation enacted in the Russian revolution.

		Continuing her historical analysis, Dunayevskaya reveals how completely Marx's original conception of freedom was perverted through its adaptations by Stalin in Russia and Mao in China, and the subsequent erection of totalitarian states.
		Yet despite the profound derailment of Marxist political philosophy in the twentieth century, Dunayevskaya points to developments such as the Hungarian revolt of 1956, and the Civil Rights struggles in the United States as signs that the indomitable quest for freedom on the part of the downtrodden cannot be forever repressed.
		Raya Dunayevskaya, who died in 1987, was a highly respected and influential philosopher, political activist, and feminist, and the founder of Marxist Humanism in the United States.

	Women's Liberation and the Dialectics of Revolution - Reaching for the Future - Raya Dunayevskaya
		This rich collection of 35 years of Raya Dunayevskaya's writings, based on active participation, correspondence, interviews, and meetings, develops the dialectics of revolution which emerges from masses in motion, including not only women and men, but all the forces—labor, youth, the fl dimension, as well as women's liberation.
		What Raya Dunayevskaya sees as crucial is the missing link of philosophy in revolutions, both in theory and in fact.
		Raya Dunayevskaya knew the importance of a feminist vision and hers informed the Marxist-Humanism she explained so well.

	Marxism and Feminism
		Dunayevskaya believes that when thinking and action are not the same, they must continually readdress and renew each other.
		For Dunayevskaya, Marx’s concept of Man/Woman relationship in his 1844 humanist essays is a break through to the conception of just how total must be the uprooting of this exploitative society if we are ever to achieve a new human one.
		Dunayevskaya believes that although it is hard to overcome male chauvinism since we are living in a class society, we can break through the status quo.

	Monthly Review: The Philosophy and Politics of Freedom - Book Reviews
		Raya Dunayevskaya's three major books--Marxism and Freedom; Philosophy and Revolution; and Rosa Luxemburg, Women's Liberation, and Marx's Philosophy of Revolution--have now been capped by a splendid fourth volume, The Power of Negativity: Selected Writings on the Dialectic in Hegel and Marx, lovingly and carefully edited by two capable followers.
		Dunayevskaya was politically engaged from the 1920s as a teenager in the early Communist movement until she died in 1987, after leading her own Marxist-Humanist group for more than three decades.
		Rees complains that Dunayevskaya and her one-time co-thinker C. James "map the categories of Hegel' s philosophy directly onto the history of capitalism in an unmediated and abstract manner." And, in fact, there is a remarkably abstract quality to Dunayevskaya's discussion of practical politics, including questions of strategy, tactics, and organization.

		But Dunayevskaya, more than three decades later, after Stalinism and at the same time after the maturity of mass movements from below, particularly one that impacted her thought, the Miners' General Strike of 1949-50, felt the need to probe deeper into Hegel's Absolutes.
		And of course, one isn't trying to academically tease out "fine points." The point for Dunayevskaya was trying to workout the relationship between philosophic creation, re-creation as in Marx and his concretization in political-organizational practice.
		Dunayevskaya, the >original translator of two essays from Marx's 1844 Manuscripts and as well >as of Lenin's Philosophic notebooks, was the author of a number of works.

		James, who used the pen name J.R. Johnson, and Raya Dunayevskaya alias Freddie Forrest.
		They also differed from the WP on the approach to dealing with racism, "the Negro question" in the vocabulary of the time, with which James and Dunayevskaya were involved theoretically and practically.
		Their return to Hegel's philosophy as being the foundation of Marx's philosophy was largely due to Dunayevskaya, who was deeply immersed in both Marx's and (being a Russian speaker), Lenin's writings in Russian.

		One of her earliest independent contributions after the 1940 break with Trotsky was a series of articles (1944) demonstrating the capitalist nature of the Soviet economy (in the previous year Soviet economists had themselves announced that the operation of the law of value was a permanent feature of “socialism”).
		Dunayevskaya’s knowledge of Russian gave her access to Lenin’s 1914 Philosophical Notebooks (16) (almost unknown at the time in the English-speaking world) and Lee’s knowledge of German opened the way to Hegel’s Logic and to the almost-unknown 1844 Manuscripts of Marx.
		Dunayevskaya had agreed that the Leninist vanguard party was outdated, but felt, in contrast to James, the need for some kind of revolutionary organization.

	Queer Notions III: Heterosexism and Sexism in Engels
		Raya Dunayevskaya was one of the few Marxist theoreticians to grapple with Marx's Ethnological Notebooks when they were published in transcription in 1972.
		Dunayevskaya saw that Engels's rigidity about historical movement was a philosophic error which muted Marx's dialectics and led to biologism: the belief that our biology determines our fate.
		Dunayevskaya was deeply critical of Engels's conclusion that "the overthrow of mother-right was the world-historic defeat of the female sex." Dunayevskaya pointed out that this was not Marx's phrase, because it made a mockery of women's force and Reason since this reputed defeat.

		They also reveal aspects of the process of Dunayevskaya's thinking that may be less evident in the books she published during her lifetime, thus providing access to the mind of a thinker who really should get more attention.
		Dunayevskaya came of age in the period when Stalin's counter-revolution, coming from within the revolutionary movement, succeeded in transforming what grew out of the Russian Revolution into totalitarianism.

		Raya Dunayevskaya was born in the Ukraine in 1910 but came to in the U.S. in 1920 and managed to be expelled for Trotskyism from the American Communist Party at age 14.
		In 1943 the Workers Party participated in the series of wildcat strikes that shook the American auto industry in Detroit (15), at the same time that the United Mine Workers under John L. Lewis were waging a long illegal strike in the Appalachian coal fields.
		It is highly significant, and little recognized, that the first English-language translation of the latter texts, which played such an important role in the Marxist renaissance of the 1950’s and 1960’s, initially appeared in the press of the Johnson- Forest tendency in 1947.
