Dear Friends,
Please listen in on No Alibis – Forward! This Wednesday, November 8, 2023 9:00 – 10:00 AM PST.
As we speak the ravages in Palestine continue apace. While it is tempting to recite a litany of the latest horrors, we must try to locate the source of unrestrained violence, the genocidal impulse. And to even begin to do that, we need better tools than reports of individual or collective venom, responses to micro and macro aggressions, to attributions of brutishness to partisans on any side. Fortunately, Gerardo Colmenar and Elizabeth Robinson will be joined by Arun Kundnani who will remind us that there is more afoot than insults and injuries. There is a structural analysis that must be engaged. Kundnani's new book, What Is Antiracism? And Why It Means Anticapitalism will center our discussion and perhaps help us find a window or way forward.
Arun Kundnani did much of his early work at the Institute of Race Relations in London where he served as an editor but also as one of a new generation of scholars prepared to take on new technologies including a CD Rom called 'Homebeats' which exposed youngsters to music and an understanding of how racism had come to England. Ever since, he's continued to write and teach. His earlier books include The Muslims Are Coming! and The End of Tolerance.
As usual updates on news and activism will be shared as well as poetry.
