SUMMARY:Empire’s Endgame with Gargi Bhattacharyya and co-authors including Adam Elliott-Cooper\, Sita Balani and others
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 \nModerated by Wilf Sullivan (Race Equality Officer\, Trades Union Congress\, London) \nEngaging with Black Lives Matter and Rhodes Must Fall movements\, Empire’s Endgame offers an original perspective on race\, media\, the state and criminalization\, and a political vision that includes — rather than expels — in the face of crisis. \n \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 contextss\, the authors trace ways in which empire’s legacies have been reshaped by global capitalism\, the digital environment and instability in the nation-state. \nGargi Bhattacharyya is 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 and Luke de Noronha are co-authors too. \n  \nAll events are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

SUMMARY:Dread Poetry and Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Dread Poetry and Freedom:\nLinton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution \nDavid Austin\nwith an introduction by Lewis Gordon \nWhat is the relationship between poetry and social change? \nStanding at the forefront of political poetry since the 1970s\, Linton Kwesi Johnson has been fighting neo-fascism\, police violence and promoting socialism while putting pen to paper to refute W.H. Auden’s claim that ‘poetry makes nothing happen’. For Johnson\, only the second living poet to have been published in the Penguin Modern Classics series\, writing has always been ‘a political act’ and poetry ‘a cultural weapon’. \nIn Dread Poetry and Freedom — the first book dedicated to the work of this ‘political poet par excellence’ – David Austin explores the themes of poetry\, political consciousness and social transformation through the prism of Johnson’s work. Drawing from the Bible\, reggae and Rastafari\, and surrealism\, socialism and feminism\, and in dialogue with Aime Cesaire and Frantz Fanon\, C.L.R. James and Walter Rodney\, and W.E.B. Du Bois and the poetry of d’bi young anitafrika\, Johnson’s work becomes a crucial point of reflection on the meaning of freedom in this masterful and rich study. \nIn the process\, Austin demonstrates why art\, and particularly poetry\, is a vital part of our efforts to achieve genuine social change in times of dread. \nDavid Austin is the author of the Casa de las Americas Prize-winning Fear of a Black Nation: Race\, Sex\, and Security in Sixties Montreal\, Moving Against the System: The 1968 Congress of Black Writers and the Making of Global Consciousness\, and Dread Poetry and Freedom: Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution. He is also the editor of You Don’t Play with Revolution: The Montreal Lectures of C.L.R. James. \nLewis Gordon teaches in the United States and in South Africa\, where he is the Nelson Mandela Visiting Professor of Politics and International Studies\, and in Toulouse\, France\, where he holds the European Union Visiting Chair in philosophy. His recent book What Fanon Said has become a primary source on understanding the work of Fanon. He is known not only for his writings on Frantz Fanon\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, Frederick Douglass\, Anna Julia Cooper\, Steve Bantu Biko\, and many others\, but also his work in philosophy\, politics\, and varieties of thought in the global south. \nTickets are sliding scale / No one turned away for inability to pay
