Abdulrahman Mohammed Babu (1924–1996) was one of the most significant African Marxist thinkers and political figures of the twentieth century. One of the key problems that confronted Babu was the claim that Marxism was a Western product, marked by the particular concerns of the West, and thus could not be applied elsewhere. In response, Babu argued that the materialist conception of history is not exclusive to the West. Babu claimed that Ibn Khaldun anticipated some of the elements of Marx’s thought.
