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: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:Invention of the White Race - Fall 2022
DESCRIPTION:A reading and discussion group convened with Sean Ahern\, on Theodore W. Allen’s The Invention of the White Race\, including vol. 1\, Racial Oppression and Social Control; and vol. 2\, The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America (the 2022 edition combines both volumes into a single book).\n“Racial Capitalism\,” “Critical Race Theory\,” “Settler Colonialism\,” “Whiteness Studies\,” “The 1619 controversy\,” “Identity Politics\,” “Black Marxism\,” “Caste vs Race” all identify some of the ideas\, lenses and explanations that contend for our attention.  A fair consideration of these and related approaches may be well informed by studying The Invention of the White Race by Theodore W. Allen. We will read from the third edition\, which combines both volumes into a single book with a new introduction by Jeffrey B. Perry\, Allen’s literary executor. (Available from Verso at a 30% discount) \nIn 1972\, after over 30 years of activism in the labor and communist movements\, Allen shared the following strategic insight with a new generation of revolutionaries: “The most vulnerable point at which a decisive blow can be struck against bourgeois rule in the United States is white supremacy.  White supremacy is both the keystone (in the arch) and the Achilles heel of U.S. bourgeois democracy\, the historic form of bourgeois rule in the US.  It is a vulnerable point because it is a historically developed and unresolvable internal contradiction of US bourgeois democracy.  It is the decisive vulnerable point because – as history has repeatedly proved – the basic class contradictions in bourgeois democracy can never fully mature until and unless the anti-proletarian nature of white supremacy has been completely established in the minds of the proletarian masses.” \nAllen spent the next 20 years researching the primary sources and writing his magnum opus.  It provides a historical materialist analysis of racial oppression and the white identity which emerged as a principal form of social control over a rebellious laboring class of Europeans and Africans in the pattern-setting colonies of Virginia and Maryland in the 17th and early 18th century.  It is a history for today. \nSean Ahern was radicalized as a NYC high school student between 1968-1971 and was drawn to activism in labor struggles in the 70s and 80s with the American Postal Workers Union and the Transport Workers. Sean lives on the Lower East Side where he grew up and went to school. Sean met Theodore Allen in 1971\, studied with him\, and helped to distribute “Class Struggle and the Origin of Racial Slavery:  The Invention of the White Race (1975)” which served as a precis for The Invention of the White Race.

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.

SUMMARY:Invention of the White Race - Fall 2022
DESCRIPTION:A reading and discussion group convened with Sean Ahern\, on Theodore W. Allen’s The Invention of the White Race\, including vol. 1\, Racial Oppression and Social Control; and vol. 2\, The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America (the 2022 edition combines both volumes into a single book).\n“Racial Capitalism\,” “Critical Race Theory\,” “Settler Colonialism\,” “Whiteness Studies\,” “The 1619 controversy\,” “Identity Politics\,” “Black Marxism\,” “Caste vs Race” all identify some of the ideas\, lenses and explanations that contend for our attention.  A fair consideration of these and related approaches may be well informed by studying The Invention of the White Race by Theodore W. Allen. We will read from the third edition\, which combines both volumes into a single book with a new introduction by Jeffrey B. Perry\, Allen’s literary executor. (Available from Verso at a 30% discount) \nIn 1972\, after over 30 years of activism in the labor and communist movements\, Allen shared the following strategic insight with a new generation of revolutionaries: “The most vulnerable point at which a decisive blow can be struck against bourgeois rule in the United States is white supremacy.  White supremacy is both the keystone (in the arch) and the Achilles heel of U.S. bourgeois democracy\, the historic form of bourgeois rule in the US.  It is a vulnerable point because it is a historically developed and unresolvable internal contradiction of US bourgeois democracy.  It is the decisive vulnerable point because – as history has repeatedly proved – the basic class contradictions in bourgeois democracy can never fully mature until and unless the anti-proletarian nature of white supremacy has been completely established in the minds of the proletarian masses.” \nAllen spent the next 20 years researching the primary sources and writing his magnum opus.  It provides a historical materialist analysis of racial oppression and the white identity which emerged as a principal form of social control over a rebellious laboring class of Europeans and Africans in the pattern-setting colonies of Virginia and Maryland in the 17th and early 18th century.  It is a history for today. \nSean Ahern was radicalized as a NYC high school student between 1968-1971 and was drawn to activism in labor struggles in the 70s and 80s with the American Postal Workers Union and the Transport Workers. Sean lives on the Lower East Side where he grew up and went to school. Sean met Theodore Allen in 1971\, studied with him\, and helped to distribute “Class Struggle and the Origin of Racial Slavery:  The Invention of the White Race (1975)” which served as a precis for The Invention of the White Race.

SUMMARY:50 Years of Anti-Imperialist Writing: Galeano\, Rodney\, and Ghosh
DESCRIPTION:Convened with Fred Murphy\, Gerardo Rénique and Gunnett Kaaf\nA reading group to celebrate and reflect on two classic works of anti-imperialist writing first published fifty years ago but with an ongoing worldwide impact: Eduardo Galeano’s Open Veins of Latin America (1971) and Walter Rodney’s How Europe Underdeveloped Africa (1972). Extending our scope to Asia and bringing matters up to the present day\, we will conclude by reading Amitav Ghosh’s just-published The Nutmeg’s Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis. These discussions will be led by Gerardo Rénique and Fred Murphy\, joined by Gunnett Kaaf for the Africa sessions and consideration of Walter Rodney’s study. \nGerardo Rénique taught 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. \nFred Murphy has led numerous study groups on Latin America\, ecosocialism\, and related topics at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught Latin American history at the New School for Social Research. In the 1980s he traveled in Latin America as a journalist for several socialist publications. \nGunnett Kaaf is a Marxist activist and writer based in Bloemfontein\, South Africa. \n  \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you are able to contribute to The Marxist Education Project. No one is denied admission to any event or class because of an inability to pay. Send an email to info@marxedproject.org to obtain an entry URL to any event or class presented by The Marxist Education Project. \n  \n

SUMMARY:50 Years of Anti-Imperialist Writing: Galeano\, Rodney\, and Ghosh
DESCRIPTION:Convened with Fred Murphy\, Gerardo Rénique and Gunnett Kaaf\nA reading group to celebrate and reflect on two classic works of anti-imperialist writing first published fifty years ago but with an ongoing worldwide impact: Eduardo Galeano’s Open Veins of Latin America (1971) and Walter Rodney’s How Europe Underdeveloped Africa (1972). Extending our scope to Asia and bringing matters up to the present day\, we will conclude by reading Amitav Ghosh’s just-published The Nutmeg’s Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis. These discussions will be led by Gerardo Rénique and Fred Murphy\, joined by Gunnett Kaaf for the Africa sessions and consideration of Walter Rodney’s study. \nGerardo Rénique taught 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. \nFred Murphy has led numerous study groups on Latin America\, ecosocialism\, and related topics at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught Latin American history at the New School for Social Research. In the 1980s he traveled in Latin America as a journalist for several socialist publications. \nGunnett Kaaf is a Marxist activist and writer based in Bloemfontein\, South Africa. \n  \nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you are able to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.
