Brief description: PAUL LAFARGUE (1842-1911) was born in Cuba of Black African, Jewish, and Caribbean Native ancestry. An economist, journalist, political thinker, and activist, he was the first Black elected member of the French Parliament and Karl Marx's son-in-law. He helped found the first French Marxist party and forcefully and wittily rejected the prevalence of bourgeois values.
