SUMMARY:Empire’s Endgame: Racism and the British State (a close reading group)
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we do a close reading of an innovative work by eight activist scholars who collaborate to bring us a powerful intervention in debates surrounding racial capitalism and political crisis in contemporary Britain. Discussions of racism too often focus on individual behaviors and prejudices\, but Empire’s Endgame maps the complex relations between empire\, racist culture\, political economy\, and the practices of a security-oriented state seeking legitimacy in times of unbearable economic uncertainty. While the book’s story unfolds in Britain\, its lessons and warnings may well apply to the United States and many other crisis-ridden imperialist polities. \nThe activist scholars who have contributed to Empire’s Endgame are Gargi Bhattacharyya\, Professor of Sociology\, University of East London and author of Rethinking Racial Capitalism (2018)\, Dangerous Brown Men (2008) and Traffick (2005). Adam Elliott-Cooper is Research Associate in Social Sciences at Greenwich University (UK) and author of Black Resistance to British Policing (2021). Sita Balani is Lecturer in Contemporary Literature and Culture at King’s College\, London and author of Deadly and Slick: How Sex Makes Race in Postcolonial Britain (2021). Kerem Nisancioglu is Lecturer in International Relations at SOAS\, University of London\, co-author of How the West Came to Rule (2015) and co-editor of Decolonising the University (2018). Kojo Koram is Lecturer at School of Law\, Birkbeck College\, University of London and editor of The War on Drugs and the Global Color Line (2019). Dalia Gebrial is editor of a Historical Materialism special issue on identity politics and co-editor of Decolonising the University (2017)\, Nadine El-Enany is Reader in Law at Birkbeck School of Law and has written (B)ordering Brtain: Law\, Race and Empire (2020)\, and  Luke de Noronha\, Lecturer at University College London and has written Deporting Black Britons: Portraits of Deportation to Jamaica (2020). \nThe tickets with class and book include shipping costs via Media Mail. The class and book offers are only good for orders in the US and Puerto Rico.\nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting for more than four years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who completed a chronological reading of all three volumes of Marx’s Capital\, and will begin a new close reading group on the Grundrisse this April.

SUMMARY:Towards a Revolution in Labor History: White Supremacism and Bourgeois Social Control
DESCRIPTION:Towards a Revolution in Labor History: White Supremacism and Bourgeois Social Control in US History\nSean Ahearn and the Revolutions Study Group\n4 more sessions\nWhy is the US working class unorganized and suffering to a far greater extent than in other advanced capitalist societies?\nThere are two texts for these sessions: “Towards a Revolution in Labor History” (an unpublished manuscript by Theodore W. Allen now made available on line by the University of Massachusetts-Amherst) and The Southern Key: Class\, Race and Radicalism in the 1930s and 1940s by Michael Goldfield.These two critical works challenge the way in which US labor history is currently understood and taught. \nGoldfield connects racial oppression\, “white” blindness and “white” racial opportunism in the heyday of labor’s apparent greatest victories\, to it’s post war defeats and subsequent rise of neo-liberalism. \nAllen views the exclusion of the 17th\,18th\,and 19th century ante-bellum African American chattel laborer from standard labor histories as an example of the “White Blindspot” which supports “white” labor opportunism. Connected to this is a misunderstanding of the ante-bellum southern plantation system as a non-capitalist mode of production. The racially oppressed and exploited chattel laborer\, who produced the surplus value central to the growth of capitalism in North America\, is thereby placed outside the purview of “labor history\,” relegated to a pre- history\, a Black history\, a side show at best to the emergence of the factory system based on the waged European-American laborers in the 19th century. \nThe Revolutions Study Group (started at the Brecht Forum) has met since 2009. The groups has recently completed an in-depth study of W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction. Sean Ahearn is a long-time New York City activist\, organizer\, and instructor who has been thoroughly engaged with a study of the development of class in relationship to race from the time of the colonial settlers coming to the Americas to developments taking place during these days of late capital. \nThese classes originate in New York City. If you are out of this timezone use this for reference: 6:30 – 8 PM (EST NYC) 11:30 PM – 1 AM (GMT) \nAll classes and events are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay. If you are unable to contribute but would like to attend this or other classes or events\, please write to info@mepnet.wpenginepowered.com to obtain the URL for the codes to enter the on-line zoom sessions. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Introducing Creolizing Rosa Luxemburg with Drucilla Cornell and Jane Gordon
DESCRIPTION:“I Have A Thousand More Things I Want To Say To You.”\nAn introduction to Creolizing Rosa Luxemburg with\nDrucilla Cornell and Jane Anna Gordon\, moderated by Bernabe S. Mendoza\nSession One of a six part series.\nRosa Luxemburg is unquestionably the most important historical European woman Marxist theorist of the last century. Significantly\, for the purpose of creolizing the canon\, she considered her continent and the globe from an Eastern Europe that was in constant flux and turmoil. From this relatively peripheral location\, she was far less parochial than many of her more centrally located interlocutors and peers. Indeed\, Luxemburg’s work touched on all the burning issues of her time and ours\, from analysis of concrete revolutionary struggles\, such as those in Poland and Russia\, to showing through her analysis of primitive accumulation that anti-capitalist and anti-colonial struggles had to be intertwined\, to considerations of state sovereignty\, democracy\, feminism\, and racism. She thereby offered reflections that can usefully be taken up and reworked by writers facing continuous and new challenges to undo relations of exploitation through radical economic and social transformation Luxemburg touches on all aspects of what constitutes revolution in her work; the authors of this volume show us that\, by creolizing Luxemburg\, we can open up new understanding of the complexities of revolution. \nDRUCILLA CORNELL Professor Emeritus\, Rutgers University; JANE ANNA GORDON\, University of Connecticut \nSessions Moderator: BERNABE S. MENDOZA\, Department of Comparative Literature\, Rutgers University

SUMMARY:Blood and Money
DESCRIPTION:From Primitive Accumulation to Racial Capitalism\nA Reprise of the Fall of 2020 Sessions\nCapital Studies Group of The MEP is proud to repeat this class for another 10 week term\nAll tickets are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Email info@mepnet.wpenginepowered.com for zoom info if you are unable to pay. The stated fees are for all 10 sessions combined. \nThe birth and development of capitalism since its origins in the fifteenth century is entirely bound up with the subordination of racialized peoples. Even before capitalism arose – in a process Marx termed the “so-called primitive accumulation” – money and markets were implicated in the rise and fall of states and empires that conquered and enslaved vast numbers of human bodies. This group will address these histories and their persisting consequences. We will read and discuss David McNally’s Blood and Money: War\, Slavery\, Finance\, and Empire and Jairus Banaji’s The History of Commercial Capitalism\, both new works along with the now-classic text Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition by Cedric Robinson. Additional readings will include chapters from Marx’s Capital; essays by Robin D.G. Kelley and Barbara Fields; and selections from the July-August 2020 Monthly Review devoted to Racial Capitalism. \nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for nearly four years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who have nearly completed a chronological reading all three volumes of Marx’s Capital along with other important works such as these sessions will explore. Newcomers are always encouraged to join.

SUMMARY:Empire’s Endgame: Pluto FireWorks series book + talk special
DESCRIPTION:Empire’s Endgame: Racism and the British State\nBy Gargi Bhattacharyya\, Adam Elliott-Cooper\, Sita Balani\, Kerem Nisancioglu\, Kojo Koram\, Dalia Gebrial\, Nadine El-Enany and Luke de Noronha\nCo-authors Gargi Bhattacharyya et al. highlight how the lens of racism and the politics of race offer the sharpest focus to explain why movements against colonial legacies and state violence coincide with rising authoritarian regimes\,. \nChaired by FireWorks Series editor\, Wilf Sullivan (Race Equality Officer\, Trades Union Congress\, London). \nIn this moment of profound overlapping crises\, the landscape of politics and entitlement is rapidly remade. Several leading scholars powerfully intervene in debates on racial capitalism and political crisis in Britain. While the ‘hostile environment’ policy and Brexit referendum throw the centrality of race into sharp relief\, discussions of racism have too often focus on individual behaviours. Bringing to the fore broad political and economic contexts\, the authors trace ways in which empire’s legacies have been reshaped by global capitalism\, the digital environment and instability in the nation-state. Engaging with Black Lives Matter and Rhodes Must Fall movements\, Empire’s Endgame offers an original perspective on race\, media\, the state and criminalisation\, and a political vision that includes — rather than expels — in the face of crisis. \nThis is the fourth in the Pluto Press FireWorks series. \nAttend the talk and receive the book (shipping included—US and Puerto Rico only) \nThis is sliding scale\, We do not deny admission to those who do not have the ability to pay. Write to info@marxedproject to receive the url for attending by zoom if at this point you are unable to pay.

SUMMARY:The Sinking Middle Class with David Roediger
DESCRIPTION:A presentation and discussion with author David Roediger\nIn the 2020 elections\, both major US political parties stressed their support for the “middle class.” David Roediger corrects this in his pointed and persuasive polemic The Sinking Middle Class. Roediger demonstrates that such an obsession is relatively new in US politics\, starting with Bill Clinton’s attempt to win back the so-called Reagan Democrats\, aided by legendary pollster Stanley Greenberg. Their efforts were marked by covert appeals to white racism and the avoidance of wealth redistribution — features that remain prominent to this day. \nDrawing on rich traditions of radical social thought\, Roediger debunks the thinly sourced idea that the United States was\, for much of its history\, a “middle-class” nation and the still more indefensible position that it is one now. The increasing immiseration of large swaths of middle-income America\, only accelerated by the current pandemic\, reveals the fallacy that is a major obstacle to progressive change. \nDAVID R. ROEDIGER teaches American Studies at the University of Kansas. His books include Seizing Freedom\, The Wages of Whiteness\, How Race Survived U.S. History\, and Towards the Abolition of Whiteness and Working toward Whiteness. His book The Production of Difference (with Elizabeth Esch) recently won the International Labor History Association Book Prize. \n“Brilliant and insightful… Explores the ways in which appeals to save the middle class in electoral politics harm the very constituencies they purport to help.”\n—George Lipsitz\, author of How Racism Takes Place

SUMMARY:The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes\, Colonial Violence and Cultural Restitution
DESCRIPTION:A presentation with discussion with author Dan Hicks\nThe story of the Benin Bronzes — carried off by the British in 1897 — sits at the heart of a heated debate about cultural restitution\, repatriation and the decolonization of museums. In The Brutish Museums\, Dan Hicks makes a powerful case for the urgent return of such objects\, as part of a wider project of addressing the outstanding debt of colonialism. \nWalk into the Met Museum on NYC’s “Museum Mile” and the curated plunder of American imperialism adorns the halls and galleries. Dan’s book calls for western museums to wash their hands of colonial bloodshed. More importantly it is a call to action for all of us — museum workers\, artists\, casual observers and anti-imperialist activists — to empty these palaces of plunder and simply send the looted items back. \nDAN HICKS is Professor of Contemporary Archaeology at the University of Oxford and Curator at the Pitt Rivers Museum. His award-winning research focuses on the restitution of African cultural heritage from Euro-American collections\, focusing on the place of ideas of cultural whiteness in ongoing histories of colonial violence. \n“A startling act of conscience. An important book which could overturn what people have felt about British history\, empire\, civilisation\, Africa\, and African art. It is with books like this that cultures are saved\, by beginning truthfully to face the suppressed and brutal past. It has fired a powerful shot into the debate about cultural restitution. You will never see many European museums in the same way again. Books like this give one hope that a new future is possible.” — Ben Okri \n“Dan\, your words brought tears to my eyes. I salute you” — MC Hammer \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay. Should you be unable to contribute at this time\, please write to info@mepnet.wpenginepowered.com to receive a code to participate in this important event. \nThe time stated is for 2 to 4 pm USA EST\, or 7 to 9 PM GMT.

SUMMARY:Marina Sitrin on Pandemic Solidarity with Colectiva Sembrar
DESCRIPTION:Pandemic Solidarity:\nMutual Aid during the Covid-19 Crisis\nedited by Marina Sitrin with Colectiva Sembrar\nMarina Sitrin (editor) joins key contributors Eleanor Finley and Lais Gomes Duarte (Colectiva Sembrar) to speak on activist solidarity\, horizontalism and autonomy expressed through the constitution of this riveting collection of real-life stories. Chaired by FireWorks series editor — Anitra Nelson (MSSI\, University of Melbourne\, Australia). Collective \nPandemic Solidarity collects first-hand experiences of people creating their own narratives of solidarity and mutual aid in the time of the global crisis of COVID-19. In times of crisis institutions of power are laid bare and people turn to one another. Underneath the media’s narrative of selfish individualism and runs on supermarkets\, we find an opposing story of community and self-sacrifice. Looking at eighteen countries and regions\, including India\, Rojava\, Taiwan\, South Africa\, Iraq and North America\, the personal accounts in the book weave together to create a larger picture\, revealing a universality of experience. Moving beyond the present\, these stories reveal what an alternative society could look like\, and reflect the existing skills and relationships to create it\, challenging institutions of power in all their fragility. \nThis ticket is for admission to the event along with the book with shipping included (US and Puerto Rico only). \nTickets are sliding scale. We do not deny admission to events or classes for an inability to pay. Please write to info@marxedproject for the url of the zoom link to attend if you cannot afford to pay.

SUMMARY:Blood and Money
DESCRIPTION:From Primitive Accumulation to Racial Capitalism\nCapital Studies Group of The MEP\nAll tickets are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Email info@mepnet.wpenginepowered.com for zoom info if you are unable to pay \nThe birth and development of capitalism since its origins in the fifteenth century is entirely bound up with the subordination of racialized peoples. Even before capitalism arose – in a process Marx termed the “so-called primitive accumulation” – money and markets were implicated in the rise and fall of states and empires that conquered and enslaved vast numbers of human bodies. This group will address these histories and their persisting consequences. We will read and discuss David McNally’s Blood and Money: War\, Slavery\, Finance\, and Empire and Jairus Banaji’s The History of Commercial Capitalism\, both new works along with the now-classic text Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition by Cedric Robinson. Additional readings will include chapters from Marx’s Capital; essays by Robin D.G. Kelley and Barbara Fields; and selections from the July-August 2020 Monthly Review devoted to Racial Capitalism. \nThe CAPITAL STUDIES GROUP has been meeting on Saturdays for nearly four years. We are a group of workers\, students\, activists and teachers who have nearly completed a chronological reading all three volumes of Marx’s Capital along with other important works such as these sessions will explore. Newcomers are always encouraged to join. \n
