One that you might like is Haunted by Slavery, a memoir of a southern white woman in the

freedom struggle by Gwendolyn Midlow Hall. Born in 1929 New Orleans to left-wing Jewish parents,

Gwendolyn Midlow Hall's life span nearly a century of engagement in anti-racist internationalist

political activism. In this moving and instructive chronicle of her remarkable life,

Midlow Hall recounts her experiences as an anti-racist activist, a communist party militant,

and a scholar of slavery in the Americas, as well as the wife and collaborator of the renowned

African-American author and communist leader Harry Haywood, telling the story of her life against

the backdrop of the important political and social developments of the 20th century. Midlow Hall

offers an accessible and intimate examination of a crucial era in radical American history.

about how workers at Rutgers are pursuing an industrial unionism model that brings together

all campus workers to challenge the neoliberal university and to fight to transform it into a

democratic institution that serves the people. If you haven't listened to part one of this series,

my interview with Dennis Hogan on the entire conjuncture. It's really so good and I'm particularly

glad to hear that so many academic workers in the UK are listening while on strike.
