Constellations, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article reevaluates Walling as a neglected precursor to American Western Marxism, arguing that his 1912–1914 trilogy synthesized Marxist theory of his time and Deweyan pragmatism into a distinct “pragmatist conception of history.” Born into “aristocracy” yet radicalized, Walling's unique trajectory—as a co‐founder of the NAACP and critic ...
