BORN IN TRINIDAD IN 1901, Oliver Cromwell Cox immigrated to the United States in 1919, where he remained until his death in 1974. After earning advanced degrees in economics and sociology from the University of Chicago, Cox established himself as an impressive, but controversial, sociologist. His best-known work, Caste, Class, and Race (1948), was the first of five books that Cox would publish. In spite of his numerous scholarly contributions in the areas of social theory, political economy, and historical sociology, Cox's significance has remained relatively unacknowledged in recent decades. In this intellectual biography, Christopher A. McAuley seeks to change that. The Mind of Oliver C. Cox offers a much needed analysis of Cox's important scholarly writings as well as insight into the life of this remarkable figure.
