An absolute banger of an answer! This goes into my saved posts! Thank you very much, comrade! I always love to get educated by comrades. :)

I completely forgot the Indian experience, so here's some more to my pile:

  • DD Kosambi (polymath marxist historian): (1) Intro to study of indian history, (2) Myth and Reality
  • EMS - Mahatma and the Ism
  • KN Pannikkar - Against Lord and State

Western Hemisphere:

  • Du Bois - Souls of Black folk
  • CLR James - Black Jacobins (this one detailing the Haitian Revolution is going to be even more relevant given recent events)
  • Claudia Jones - End to the Neglect (this list is a good/bad example of the lack of inclusion of women - we should include more but on a quick search this is all I could find on the cross section of marxism and religion. There will be undoubtedly be way more)

Pan-africanists:

  • Cabral - Return to Source, and Weapon of Theory (that last title is awesome)
  • Walter Rodney - How Europe Underdeveloped Africa
