SUMMARY:60 Years Since the April Revolution in Santo Domingo
DESCRIPTION:Sixty years ago\, on April 24\, 1965\, tens of thousands of ordinary people in Santo Domingo (also known as the Dominican Republic) joined a popular revolt which sought to restore President Juan Bosch to power after he was overthrown in a US-backed\, right-wing military coup in September\, 1963. Posing a threat to both local elites and Washington’s geopolitical expansion in the Caribbean\, the April Revolution\, and the subsequent anti-imperialist resistance that sprang up against US military occupation\, contributed to the development of anti-imperialist politics in Santo Domingo and beyond. \nJoin us on May 3 for a panel to commemorate the 6oth anniversary of the April Revolution and discuss its political implications\, the role of working-class Afro-Dominicans\, women\, LGBTQ people\, Haitian internationalist fighters\, socialists\, writers and artists\, as well as the worldwide international solidarity movement that ensued in the face of imperialist onslaught. \nGénesis Lara is a scholar of Caribbean and Afro-Latinx Studies. Raised in both the Bronx and Miami\, her research focuses on gender\, Blackness\, social movements\, human rights\, and diaspora world making. She explores the ways Afro-Caribbean women mobilized grief and mourning as ways to contest state violence in the twentieth century. Her work poses larger questions of ways Black people have conceived and fought for human rights. Génesis Lara completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Florida and her PhD at the University of California\, Davis. \nGina Goico is a multidisciplinary artist\, scholar\, and self-proclaimed necia. Goico navigates their identity and the spaces where they exist in the Dominican Republic and the United States through their work\, which ranges from embroidery to installations\, ink drawings\, and performances. Goico’s research focuses on how the aesthetics\, performances\, and organizing of self-identifying black Dominican artists and organizers operate as strategies that queer state-circulated identity in the Dominican Republic and its New York City diaspora. Goico was a Van Lier Fellow and artist in residence with Smack Mellon. They also participated in the AIM fellowship at The Bronx Museum of the Arts and were artist-in-residence at The Laundromat Project Kelly Street. Goico holds an AAS in Fine Arts and Illustration from Altos de Chavón and a BFA in Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design. They also have an MA in Arts Politics from NYU and are PhD candidate in Performing and Media Arts at Cornell University. \nAmaury Rodriguez has been involved in Haitian-Dominican solidarity activism for more than two decades. His writing has appeared in NACLA\, El Salto\, Esendom and Jacobin. He is co-editor\, with Raj Chetty\, of a special issue of The Black Scholar journal dedicated to Dominican Black Studies. \nMatías Bosch Carcuro studied Environmental Sciences and Arts at the Central University of Chile. He has a MA in Social Sciences with a minor in Politics and a MA in Public Management and Policy from the University of Chile. He is also a University professor and researcher on political economy\, labor\, development models\, social rights\, social protection and security systems\, as well as state policies targeting discriminated and overexploited working people.

SUMMARY:Trump\, the State\, and Global Capital
DESCRIPTION:A video of this April 19\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nA conversation with Steve Maher and Clara Mattei\nIn the early weeks of the Trump administration in the United States we have seen on-again\, off-again tariffs\, bluster against longstanding allies and friendly approaches to erstwhile foes\, alarming threats to civil liberties and press freedom\, accelerating deportations of immigrant workers\, mass firings and layoffs of Federal employees\, dismantling of key Federal agencies\, and indifference toward threats of measles and bird-flu epidemics – and that’s only a partial list. Looking at all this through a Marxist lens presents a major challenge\, but who better to meet it than Steve Maher and Clara Mattei\, whose historical analyses of finance capital and the capitalist state have garnered well-deserved praise. Join us as we engage Steve and Clara in an open-ended conversation aimed at bringing some clarity to the burgeoning chaos that is shaking up U.S. and global capitalism and the imperialist state system. \nStephen Maher is Assistant Professor of Economics at SUNY Cortland\, and Co-Editor of the Socialist Register. With Scott Aquanno he is the co-author of The Fall and Rise of American Finance: From J.P. Morgan to Blackrock. Steve also authored Corporate Capitalism and the Integral State: General Electric and a Century of American Power. \nClara E. Mattei is the author of The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism. She is Professor of Economics and Director of the recently inaugurated Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) at The University of Tulsa. She previously taught at the The New School for Social Research and was a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies.

SUMMARY:Imperialism: The Long View and the Big Picture
DESCRIPTION:Video introduction\nImperialism is an economic and political system of war and conquest by great powers\, but it is also the lived experience of the conquered and subjugated. This almost always entails the murder\, rape\, theft\, enslavement\, and myriad humiliations of the dominated and colonized. Empires have committed genocide\, eliminating entire peoples\, and ethnocide\, erasing the nationality\, language\, and culture of the conquered. And the conquered have resisted\, risen up\, rebelled\, and often succeeded at least for a time in escaping the grip of empires. Even so\, new imperial or neocolonial systems often reimpose their domination in new ways\, leading to further resistance and rebellion. \nIn eight weekly sessions guided by Dan La Botz\, we will look at imperialism in the long view\, from the ancient world to today. We will examine the experience of imperialism and the theoretical justifications for it\, as well as anti-imperialist movements and their arguments. We will look at imperialism as economic phenomenon\, as political strategy\, as cultural experience\, and as psychological affect. We will discuss imperialism and gender and imperialism and the environment. \nSee the initial syllabus for further details. \nDan La Botz is a retired historian of the United States and Latin America and a longtime political activist on the left. He holds a Ph.D. in U.S. History from the University of Cincinnati and has taught at several universities\, most recently in the City University of New York School of Labor and Urban Studies. He is the author of a dozen books and scores of journalistic and academic articles on labor movements\, social movements\, and politics in the United States\, Mexico\, Nicaragua\, and Indonesia. He is a co-editor of the journal New Politics.

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.

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: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:Rethinking Alternatives with Marx: Economy\, Ecology and Migration
DESCRIPTION:Himani Bannerji\, Michael Brie\, Gregory Claeys\, and Silvia Federici with editor Marcello Musto\n \nThis book presents a Marx that is in many ways different from the one popularized by the dominant currents of 20th century Marxism. The dual aim of this collective volume is to contribute to a new critical discussion on Marx’s critique of political economy and to develop a deeper analysis of certain questions\, like ecology and migration\, to which relatively little attention has been paid until recently. \nContributions of globally renowned scholars\, from nine countries and multiple academic disciplines\, offer diverse and innovative perspectives on Marx’s points of view about ecology\, migration\, gender\, the capitalist mode of production\, the labour movement\, globalization\, social relations\, and the contours of a possible socialist alternative. \nOrder the book here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-81764-0 \nThis event is sponsored by the Marxist Education Project\, Shelter & Solidarity\, The Community Church of Boston\, Encuentro5\, Hardball Press\, and Socialism & Democracy

SUMMARY:The Invention of the White Race
DESCRIPTION:A reading and discussion of Theodore W. Allen’s two volume work\nwith The Revolutions Study Group\nIn 1972\, after a lifetime of activism in the labor and communist movements\, Theodore W. 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 U.S. 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.] \n \nIt 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.” \nTheodore W. Allen spent the next 30 years researching the primary sources and writing The Invention of the White Race (2 volumes) which provides a historical materialist analysis of racial oppression and the white identity which emerged as a principal form of social control over rebellious laboring class of European and Africans in the pattern setting colonies of Virginia and Maryland in the late 17th early 18th century. \nThe Revolutions Study Group (started at the Brecht Forum) has met since 2009. The group has recently completed an in-depth study of W.E.B. Dubois’ Black Reconstruction and this past winter and spring studied White Supremacy and Bourgeois Social Control.

SUMMARY:The Essential Political Writings of Hubert Harrison
DESCRIPTION:Selections from A Hubert Harrison Reader\nReading and discussion with the The Revolutions Study Group \nRecognized by the contemporaries of his days as the leading orator\, editor\, thinker\,  organizer and writer in the Black Mecca of Harlem for over 10 years before his premature death at the age of 44\, Harrison’s  articles on socialism\, Black self-determination\, Africa\, Asia and the Caribbean\, US History\, class first vs race first discussion\, WWI\, imperialism and internationalism were read around the world and are as relevant today as they were a century ago. \nJeffrey B Perry author of the 2 volume biography of Hubert Harrison (Columbia University Press) and editor of A Hubert Harrison Reader(Wesleyan University Press) describes Harrison “as the most class conscious of the race radicals and the most race conscious of the class radicals in those years” adding that he is “a key link in the two great trends of the Civil Rights/Black Liberation struggle—the labor and civil rights trend associated associated with A. Philip Randolph and Martin Luther King\, Jr. and the race and nationalist trend associated with Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X.” \nTHE REVOLUTIONS STUDY GROUP (started at the Brecht Forum) has met since 2009.We also meet on Tuesday nights where we study Theodore Allen’s The Invention of the White Race.     \nThere is a special offer to be part of this reading group and the Tuesday reading group for a combined price of $100.     \n\nAll events are sliding scale—choose the level at which you choose to contribute to The Marxist Education Project.
