After Colonialism Dies: Fighting the New Imperialism
9 Sessions
Kazembe Balagun with The Fanon Studies Task Force

This class will read from The Fire Next Time and Studies in a Dying Colonialism and look to where liberation movements go after the first stages of demands are met, even after overthrowing an old regime or colonial occupier, and often get absorbed into new systems of domination, especially under globalized capitalism.

He has been featured in Time Out New York, The UK Guardian, German Public Radio and the New York Times and contributed “We Be Reading Marx Where We From” to the critically acclaimed anthology Imagine: Living in a Socialist USA.
