There will be a video book launch for the newly published Challenging the Right, Augmenting the Left: Recasting Leftist Imagination (Fernwood).
https://www.facebook.com/events/293005538440661
The authors of Challenging the Right, Augmenting the Left put forward a range of approaches to help strategize the work that awaits the left in the 2020s.
Working within five major thematic areas, the contributors examine how to engage working class people in anti-capitalist struggles, oppose ethno-nationalism, build power inside and outside the state apparatus, find new strategies of environmental resistance, and promote solidarity and ecological responsibility. This book provides suggestions for working with popular disaffection by taking the left’s history of refusals and defeats as a starting point for next steps in the struggle against capitalism and the far right, rather than as the basis for more conflict or defeatism. Authors include Bertell Ollman, Ronaldo Munck, Elise Thorburn and Gary Kinsman. The book includes:
“Navigating Contemporary Struggles: Class Composition and Social Reproduction” by Elise Thorburn & Gary Kinsman
Several authors will be delivering short presentations of their contributions during the web launch – Thursday, August 13th, 7pm (eastern standard time)
