Summary
Adolph Reed and Walter Benn Michaels join The Jacobin Show to discuss the limitations of focusing on racial disparities, why the notion that Black Lives Matter was co-opted is misleading, and how socialists today should approach history.
Every Wednesday at 6 PM ET, The Jacobin Show offers socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the podcast version of the show from August 4, 2021 with Paul Prescod and Jen Pan hosting.
