Said subordinated class and gender analysis to race in his later theorizing
Evidence
That comes out of the work on Policing the Crisis in the 1970s, and it was a way of rethinking what in the 1950s would have been seen as two quite separate things: race and class. Would I say it now? Well, I would also want to remind people that class is the way in which race is lived. Once you get into globalization and the working classes, people earning one dollar a day in Calcutta, class is lived through race and race is lived through class. So they’re two interdependent, not exactly the same. The mistake earlier was to try to collapse them together. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 1113 (

It’s not that I didn’t think about that, but I thought partly one is a subordinate element of the other—really this is a question about capitalism and imperialism and the poverty of Jamaica, the situation in which black men and women find themselves in urban deprivation and class politics are really a slightly differentiated part of one whole thing. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 1105 (
