His dogged pursuit of the truth puts his life in danger and upends the scrappy Cape Cod newspaper he works for. The Man Who Changed Colors delves into the complicated relationships between Cape Verdean Americans and African Americans\, Portuguese fascist gangs\, and abusive shipyard working conditions.\n“Bill Fletcher is a truth seeker and a truth teller – even when he’s writing fiction. Not unlike Bill\, his character David Gomes is willing to put his life and career in peril to expose the truth. A thrilling read!” – Tavis Smiley\, broadcaster and New York Times bestselling author \nBill Fletcher Jr has been an activist since his teen years. He has been active in workplace and community struggles and in electoral campaigns. He has worked for several labor unions in addition to serving as a senior staff person in the national AFL-CIO.

SUMMARY:The Fallout of War: Metonyms of Militarism
DESCRIPTION:A video of this May 13\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nYale Working Group on Globalization and Culture\nSecond of two parts. Part One \nWar: what is it\, and what is it good for? War might seem like a foregone conclusion or a state of exception; in either case it is an archetype of crisis. In two linked sessions\, the Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture presents their collective research on a keyword of contemporary cultural studies – war – and investigates its many valences as lived reality and as metaphor. Trade wars can become militarized\, and hot wars can look cold\, depending on your vantage point. The race war\, Twitter tells us\, is impending; but in an age of US forever war(s)\, understanding war as punctuating the flow of history seems to be entirely insufficient. War is\, some argue\, a way of life\, a structuring condition that shapes our examinations of the history of the present. The war on drugs\, the war on poverty\, the war on COVID\, the war on Christmas – war is also a ubiquitous metaphor\, a self-righteous idiom that announces moral panic and articulates racial logic in otherwise terms. But metaphors of war have also influenced various radical traditions and social movements\, including anti-war activism and Gramsci’s deployment of metaphors of war in his theorizing of hegemony. Taking account of war as constitutive of the present\, the working group explores war’s meanings as event\, analytic\, and metaphor. \nPanel II Presentations:\nAanchal Saraf theorizes nuclear fallout in the Pacific as war itself moving through the landscapes\, bodies\, and generations of the Marshall Islands and its peoples.\nJavier Porras Madero explores “Dirty Wars” in Latin America for their classed\, raced\, and gendered dimensions as well as their implications for how we may understand conflict\, violence\, and the global Cold War.\nMadeleine Han’s presentation focuses on the Han River both as the face of South Korean postwar economic development (referred to as the “Miracle on the Han”) and as a repository of submerged cold war memories.\nMaru Pabón examines the dominant genres and styles of two poetic projects that emerged out of anticolonial/anti-imperial struggles in Palestine and Cuba\, shiʿr al-muqawama and coloquialismo\, in relation to the distinct temporalities of the two conflicts.\nMonique Flores Ulysses considers U.S. cultural texts seemingly disconnected from war but nonetheless imbricated in war-making during the early years of the Global War on Terror.\nMichael Denning chairs this panel. \nThe Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture is an interdisciplinary cultural studies laboratory that has been practicing collective research at Yale University for two decades. Over the years\, we have presented work collaboratively at numerous cultural studies conferences as well as at the Marxist Education Project\, the Left Forum\, Occupy Boston\, and the World Social Forum. Past projects have been published as “Going into Debt\,” online in Social Text’s Periscope\, and as “Spaces and Times of Occupation” in Transforming Anthropology; a collective interview regarding “Matters of Life and Death” appeared in Revue Française d’Études Américaines. The current members—Aanchal Saraf\, Damanpreet Pelia\, Javier Porras Madero\, Jessica Marion Modi\, Lucero Estrella\, Madeleine Han\, Maru Pabón\, Michael Denning\, Monique Flores Ulysses\, and Salonee Bhaman—work in American studies\, history\, Latinx studies\, literary criticism\, African-American studies\, Asian American studies\, comparative literature\, and womens\, gender and sexuality studies.

SUMMARY:Worn Out: Retail Workers vs. Digital Surveillance
DESCRIPTION:A video of this April 29\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nWith Author Madison Van Oort\nBeneath the success of fast fashion\, a grimmer story is told by Madison Van Oort in Worn Out: How Retailers Surveil and Exploit Workers in the Digital Age and How Workers Are Fighting Back. Going undercover in two of the world’s largest fast fashion stores in New York City\, she observed firsthand how data and surveillance shape the lives of the people who do the actual producing and selling. Van Oort’s interviews with dozens of front line workers and labor activists show how workers are fighting back\, and her research exposes the exploitative reality of retail labor as digital tools lubricate the shift toward just-in-time retail by collecting real-time data on not only customer behavior but also worker performance. Automated scheduling platforms\, biometric time clocks\, and cashier metrics increase these workers’ already heightened insecurity. One of the first ethnographies of this “thriving” industry\, Worn Out pulls open the curtain between production and consumption and reveals the real cost of fast fashion. \nMadison Van Oort is a researcher based in Minneapolis. She received her PhD from the University of Minnesota in 2018\, and her academic writing has appeared in the journals Critical Sociology\, Ethnography\, and Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society as well as the anthology Captivating Technology: Race\, Carceral Technoscience\, and Liberatory Imagination in Everyday Life. Worn Out is her first book. \nWorn Out is available from the publisher\, MIT Press.

SUMMARY:Arise! The Mexican Revolution's Global Impact
DESCRIPTION:With Author Christina Heatherton\nThe Mexican Revolution was a global event that catalyzed international radicals in unexpected sites and struggles. Christina Heatherton’s book Arise! Global Radicalism in the Era of the Mexican Revolution reveals how activists around the world found inspiration and solidarity in revolutionary Mexico. Heatherton traces the paths of Black American artist Elizabeth Catlett\, Indian anti-colonial activist M.N. Roy\, Mexican revolutionary leader Ricardo Flores Magón\, Okinawan migrant organizer Paul Shinsei Kōchi\, Soviet feminist Alexandra Kollontai\, and other key figures. From art collectives and farm worker strikes to prison “universities\,” Arise! reconstructs how radical organizers found new ways to fight global capitalism and forge an anti-racist internationalism from below. \nChristina Heatherton is the Elting Associate Professor of American Studies and Human Rights at Trinity College. With Jordan T. Camp she edited Policing the Planet: Why the Policing Crisis Led to Black Lives Matter and Freedom Now! Struggles for the Human Right to Housing in LA and Beyond. She currently codirects the Trinity Social Justice Initiative and is co-host and co-producer of the SJI’s podcast Conjuncture. \nArise! is available from the publisher\, University of California Press.

SUMMARY:The New Power Elite: C. Wright Mills Revisited
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED – new date to be announced\nIn 1956\, sociologist C. Wright Mills published The Power Elite\, a study that challenged conventional postwar assumptions that the United States was a society of democracy and upward mobility. Mills analyzed how power and social status in the 1950s had become concentrated in an immense corporate-government power complex that overrode the country’s apparently democratic and egalitarian institutions. Mills feared that\, if not constrained\, concentration and centralization of power at the top of modern society would result in a revival of the violent capitalist authoritarianism or fascism that marked the 1920s and 30s. The Power Elite had a profound influence on the rise of the New Left and contributed to the revival of Marxism in the 1960s (although Mills himself was not a Marxist). \nIn The New Power Elite\, Heather Gautney offers us a contemporary companion to Mills’s work through a fresh critique for the new millennium. She takes up the problems that Mills addressed and echoes his outrage over the injustices and ruin brought by today’s elites. She grounds her analysis more in political economy than in institutional authority as Mills did. Gautney also accounts for changes in global capitalism over the last forty years\, arguing that neoliberalism and the centering of the market in political and social life has ushered in ever more extreme forms of violence and exploitation and a drift toward authoritarianism. \nHeather Gautney\, Associate Professor of Sociology at Fordham University\, has authored numerous books and articles on social inequality\, U.S. politics\, labor\, and social movements\, and opinion essays for major news outlets. She has served as a senior policy advisor to Senator Bernie Sanders. \n(This event was originally scheduled for Wednesday\, April 19.)

SUMMARY:The Paris Commune: A New History
DESCRIPTION:A video of this March 13\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nCarolyn J. Eichner and Mitch Abidor discuss Eichner’s new book\, The Paris Commune: A Brief History. Her compelling account “makes a complicated event understandable and vivid. Eichner’s rich portraits bring to life the freedom and empowerment the Communards experienced\, juxtaposed with the bloody repression of its final days.” (Sarah Fishman\, author of From Vichy to the Sexual Revolution: Gender and Family Life in Postwar France) \nAt dawn on March 18\, 1871\, Parisian women stepped between cannons and French soldiers\, using their bodies to block the army from taking the artillery from their working-class neighborhood. When ordered to fire\, the troops refused and instead turned and arrested their leaders. Thus began the Paris Commune\, a 72-day conflict that ended with the ferocious slaughter of communards by French troops. The Commune stands as a critical and pivotal moment in nineteenth-century history\, as the linchpin between revolutionary pasts and futures\, and as a crucible allowing glimpses of alternate possibilities. Upending hierarchies of class\, religion\, and gender\, the Commune emerged as a touchstone for the subsequent century-and-a-half of revolutionary and radical social movements. \nCarolyn J. Eichner teaches in the Departments of History and Women’s & Gender Studies at the University of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee. Her books include Surmounting the Barricades: Women in the Paris Commune and Feminism’s Empire. \nMitch Abidor is the editor and translator of Voices of the Paris Commune and Communards. A contributing writer for Jewish Currents\, his articles have also appeared in the New York Times\, the New York Review of Books\, Dissent\, and many other publications. \n  \nThe Paris Commune: A Brief History is available from Rutgers University Press.

SUMMARY:Utopia and Modernity in China: Contradictions in Transition
DESCRIPTION:A video of this March 22\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\nThe success of China’s industrial/technical revolution since the 1980s has been international market-driven and led by private capital. But this capitalist “utopia” sits uneasily with both traditional Chinese values and the socialism that has been the foundation of the People’s Republic since the Chinese Communist Party came to power in 1949. Utopia and Modernity in China\, edited by David Margolies and Qing Cao\, examines the contradictions inherent in China’s attempt to achieve “socialism with Chinese characteristics” by promoting home-grown capitalism. The book attempts to deconstruct the realities of this system in practice\, focusing on the internal tensions between traditional Chinese values\, neoliberal capitalism\, and the CCP’s vision of a transition to socialism in the 21st century. It offers an unusual insight into the complex cultural forces that are rapidly reshaping both China and world capitalism.\nBook available from the publisher\, Pluto Press. \nDavid Margolies is Emeritus Professor of English at Goldsmiths\, University of London. He is the author of Shakespeare’s Irrational Endings: The Problem Plays\, and edited Culture as Politics: Selected Writings of Christopher Caudwell. \nQing Cao is Associate Professor in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Durham. He is the author of China under Western Gaze\, and co-editor of Discourse\, Politics and Media in Contemporary China and Brand China in the Media. \n

SUMMARY:Peru: Crisis and Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Banners read\, “They all must go! Jail the murderers! Elections now! Not one more death! Out with Dina Boluarte! Down with the racist civil-military dictatorship! Shut down Congress! For a people’s constituent assembly!”\nA video of this February 22\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nA deepgoing political crisis is shaking Peru\, with massive protests by working people in the countryside and cities\, murderous repression by the armed forces and police\, and desperate efforts to restore order by a widely hated right-wing Congress and an unelected president\, Dina Boluarte. Women and Quechua and Aymara people from the Andean countryside and interior cities are taking a leading role in demanding that Boluarte and the Congress resign and that a democratic constituent assembly be convened to enable a government that represents Peru’s diversity rather than the exploitative\, racist elites of Lima. Join us as Peruvian left activist and sociologist Nicolás Lynch reports on and analyzes these dramatic events direct from Lima. Historian Gerardo Rénique moderates and joins the conversation. \nNicolás Lynch has published many books and essays on Peruvian politics and history. He has taught at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima and has served as Peru’s Minister of Education and as Ambassador to Argentina. Lynch holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the New School for Social Research. \nGerardo Rénique taught Latin American history for many years at the City College of New York. He is a frequent contributor to Socialism and Democracy and NACLA: Report on the Americas. His research interests include the political traditions of popular movements in Latin America\, and race\, national identity and state formation in Mexico.

SUMMARY:Mutant Ecologies in the Age of Genomic Capital
DESCRIPTION:The interconnected fields of genomic science\, genome editing\, and biotechnology have emerged over the past half-century as a revolution in the production of new life forms that have been eagerly adopted by agriculture\, pharmaceuticals\, textiles\, and other business sectors. While many – including the Nobel Committee – have heralded this as a “new epoch” of limitless possibilities for positive transformation\, In Mutant Ecologies: Manufacturing Life in the Age of Genomic Capital\, Erica Borg and Amedeo Policante show how genetic science has been deeply intertwined from its beginning with the raw imperatives of capital accumulation. “Genomic capital\,” the authors’ term for the use of genetic materials in industrial production\, has literally altered many of life’s metabolic processes in service to capital’s demands. Within a socio-historical context defined by the iron rules of competition and exploitation\, capital no longer contents itself with simply appropriating the living bodies of plants and animals but purposefully designs their internal metabolism\, and in that way it redesigns the countless living vectors that constitute the global biosphere. This biological revolution will ripple through the everyday lives of people everywhere. Erica and Amedeo will present Mutant Ecologies and Ariel Salleh and  Stuart Newman will discuss the book and initiate the conversation. \nBook available from the publisher\, Pluto Press. \nErica Borg is a geographer and political ecologist based at King’s College\, London. Their research focuses on the relations between capitalism\, colonialism\, patriarchy and ecological crisis. \nAmedeo Policante is a Researcher at the Nova University of Lisbon. His writings interrogate the nexus of extraction\, exploitation and expropriation that fuels the contemporary world market. He is the author of two books: The Pirate Myth and The New Mercenaries. \nAriel Salleh (discussant) is the author of Ecofeminism as Politics and numerous other books and essays on political ecology as an emerging study of humanity-nature relations. Her “embodied materialist” approach emphasizes the centrality of reproductive or regenerative labour in the world system. At present she is Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Humanities\, Nelson Mandela University\, South Africa. \nStuart Newman (discussant) is professor of cell biology and anatomy at New York Medical College and a leading scientific critic of the use of developmental biology to modify human species identity\, including cloning and germline genetic manipulation. Among his numerous books and publications\, Stuart is the co-author with Tina Stevens of Biotech Juggernaut: Hope\, Hype\, and Hidden Agendas of Entrepreneurial BioScience.

SUMMARY:Capital's Terrorists in the Long Nineteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:A video of this January 28\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\n\nWith author Chad E. Pearson\nIn his new book Capital’s Terrorists: Klansmen\, Lawmen\, and Employers in the Long Nineteenth Century\, Chad E. Pearson details how US employers at the turn of the twentieth century deployed a variety of tactics to secure their power in and out of workplaces. Through the Ku Klux Klan\, Law and Order Leagues\, Stockgrowers’ organizations\, and Citizens’ Alliances\, they applied extralegal repressive techniques – including whippings\, kidnappings\, drive-out campaigns\, incarcerations\, arsons\, hangings\, and shootings – as well as less overtly illegal tactics such as shutting down meetings\, barring speakers from lecturing through blacklists\, and book burning. Driven by unambiguous economic and managerial interests\, the birth of law-and-order politics as we know it can be found in 19th-century campaigns of organized terror against an assortment of ordinary people across racial lines.\nBook available from online sellers and from the publisher\, University of North Carolina Press \nChad E. Pearson is a labor historian at the University of North Texas and author of Capital’s Terrorists and Reform or Repression: Organizing America’s Anti-Union Movement. He has published essays in Jacobin\, Counterpunch\, Monthly Review\, and other journals.

SUMMARY:From Austerity to Fascism: The Capital Order
DESCRIPTION:A video of this December 10\, 2022\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\n\nClara E. Mattei presents The Capital Order\, in which she explores the intellectual origins of austerity to uncover its originating motives: the protection of capital – and indeed capitalism – in times of social upheaval from below. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material from Britain and Italy\, she offers a damning account of the rise of austerity – and of modern economics – at the levers of contemporary political power. Mattei reveals how the threat of working-class power in the years after World War I animated policies that elevated owners\, smothered workers\, and imposed a rigid economic hierarchy across societies. Where austerity “succeeded\,” relatively speaking\, was in their enrichment of ruling-class interests who accumulated power and capital at the expense of labor. Here is where the true value of austerity can be observed: its insulation of entrenched privilege and its elimination of all alternatives to capitalism. \nClara E. Mattei is assistant professor of economics at the New School for Social Research in New York City. She was a 2018-2019 member of the School of Social Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Studies.

SUMMARY:Global Civil War: Capitalism Post-Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Watch the video from this November 19\, 2022\, event on YouTube. \nWith William I. Robinson\nGlobal Civil War provides a big-picture account of how the coronavirus pandemic and new digital technologies have transformed capitalism and the entire global economy and society. Analyzing the concentration of power and control in the hands of corporate conglomerates\, tech giants\, megabanks\, and the military-industrial complex\, the book documents the extent of unprecedented global inequalities as the mass of humanity faces violent dispossession and uncertain survival. The book issues a dire warning against the emergence of a dystopic digitalized dictatorship but also finds great hope and inspiration in the burgeoning social movements of the poor and the dispossessed as humanity descends into global civil war. \nWilliam I. Robinson is Distinguished Professor of Sociology\, Global Studies\, and Latin American Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Among his many books are Global Capitalism and the Crisis of Humanity (2014); Into the Tempest: Essays on the New Global Capitalism (2018); and The Global Police State (2020). \nGlobal Civil War is available from the publisher\, PM Press.

SUMMARY:Climate Justice and Socialist Strategy with Jason W. Moore
DESCRIPTION:King’s Triple Evils\, Modern Environmentalism\, and the ‘World Revolution’ of 1968\nA video of this November 6\, 2022\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\n\nOn April 4\, 1967\, Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, came out publicly against the Vietnam War in a speech entitled “Beyond Vietnam.” Beyond\, in that title\, meant everything. King not only broke with the liberal establishment\, which viewed the war as a separate issue from racism and as an aberration in American foreign policy. King simultaneously presented a radical critique that linked racism and exploitation at home and abroad and began to elaborate a vision of an American socialism animated by a searing indictment of capitalism’s “triple evils” (racism\, militarism\, and class exploitation). Such a socialism would be grounded in a triple alliance encompassing the antiwar\, civil rights\, and labor movements. In this talk\, Jason W. Moore addresses the missed opportunity for a program of planetary justice as the “Environmentalism of the Rich” came to the fore after 1968 and overshadowed King’s appeal for a radical turn. As King underscored in his final months\, justice cannot be effectively pursued piece by piece. The “whole society” with and within the web of life must be reinvented\, inasmuch as we are “all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied into a single garment of destiny.” At the end of the Capitalocene and the beginning of the planetary inferno\, climate justice – and socialist strategy – must proceed as if “all life were interrelated.”\nJason W. Moore\nJason W. Moore is an environmental historian and historical geographer at Binghamton University\, where he is Professor of Sociology. His books include Capitalism in the Web of Life (2015)\, Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (2016)\, and (with Raj Patel)\, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (2017). Moore’s books and essays on environmental history\, capitalism\, and social theory – translated into over 20 languages – have been recognized with numerous academic awards. He co-coordinates the World-Ecology Research Network.

SUMMARY:Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire
DESCRIPTION:A video of this October 29\, 2022\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nIt’s in our food\, our cosmetics\, our fuel and our bodies. Palm oil\, found in half of supermarket products\, has shaped our world. Max Haiven uncovers how the gears of capitalism are literally and metaphorically lubricated by this ubiquitous elixir. With a sweeping\, experimental narrative\, Haiven takes us on a global journey that includes looted treasures\, the American system of mass incarceration\, the history of modern art and the industrialisation of war. Beyond simply calling for more consumer boycotts\, Haiven argues for recognising in palm oil humanity’s profound potential to shape our world beyond racial capitalism and neo-colonial dispossession. \nMax Haiven is a writer and teacher and Canada Research Chair in Culture\, Media and Social Justice. His most recent books are Art after Money\, Money after Art: Creative Strategies Against Financialization (2018) and Revenge Capitalism: The Ghosts of Empire\, the Demons of Capital\, and the Settling of Unpayable Debts (2020). Max also edits VAGABONDS\, a series of short\, radical books from Pluto Press. He teaches at Lakehead University\, where he co-directs the ReImagining Value Action Lab (RiVAL).

SUMMARY:Adventure Capitalism: Raymond Craib Looks at 'Libertarian Exit'
DESCRIPTION:Watch the video of this October 22\, 2022\, event on YouTube \nThe past half century is littered with the remains of experiments in “libertarian exit.” Raymond Craib‘s new PM Press book Adventure Capitalism traces the history history of individualist\, property-oriented “escape” projects pursued by the likes of Michael Oliver\, Peter Thiel\, and Bitcoin bros. Based on research in archives in the US\, the UK\, and Vanuatu\, as well as in FBI files\, Craib explores in careful detail the ideology and practice of libertarian exit and its place in the histories of contemporary cap­italism\, decolonization\, empire\, and oceans and islands. \nRaymond Craib teaches History at Cornell University. His research interests lie at the intersection of geography\, politics\, and everyday practice. His other works include The Cry of the Renegade: Politics and Poetry in Interwar Chile; Cartographic Mexico: A History of State Fixations and Fugitive Landscapes; and\, with Barry Maxwell\, No Gods No Masters No Peripheries: Global Anarchisms.

Amid the breakneck pace of both technological advance and environmental collapse\, he explores how we are changing as fast as the world around us—from how we make music\, to how we have sex\, to what we do to survive\, and who we imagine ourselves to be. And though the environmental crisis terrifies and technology overwhelms\, Ostertag finds enough creativity\, compassion\, and humor in our evolving behavior to keep us laughing and inspired as the world we are building overtakes the world we found. \nBob Ostertag is a true polymath who has covered wars in Central America\, recorded dozens of music projects\, and published books on startlingly eclectic subjects. He fuses his travels as a touring musician with his journalist’s eye for detail and the long view of a historian. \nBook available from PM Press.
