Summary

We are sharing a recent Guerilla History episode on the Rev Left feed for those that missed it! Make sure to subscribe to Guerrilla History on your preferred podcast app!

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on two fantastic guests, Prof. Charisse Burden-Stelly and Prof. Jodi Dean. We discuss their co-edited collection, Organize, Fight, Win: Black Communist Women’s Political Writing, which is an absolutely indispensable resource for those of us serious about achieving liberation! This collection includes writings focused on the period from 1919-1956, which argue that racial and economic equality can only be achieved by overthrowing capitalism. Pick up the book!

Du Bois: A Life in American History alongside our mutual friend Gerald Horne. She can be followed on twitter @blackleftaf or on her website https://www.charisseburdenstelly.com/.
