History

The journal was established in 1959 as Race, before obtaining its current title in 1974 (when it was subtitled a 'Journal for Black and Third World Liberation'). Race & Class was responsive to some of the major events that shaped the 1970s, specifically the period's widespread and rapid, mass, social and political changes; liberation struggles and the installation of popular governments in some of the newly independent countries of the Third World; the phenomenon of Black Power; and the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. The journal's founding editor, Ambalavaner Sivanandan, opened the journal to radical scholars and activists, three of whom were so closely involved in the liberation movements they wrote of – Orlando Letelier, Malcolm Caldwell and Walter Rodney – they were killed in the pursuit of their realization.[1]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed by EBSCO databases, Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, MLA International Bibliography, and Social Sciences Citation Index.
