Summary
In the 291st session of In Class With Carr, we explore the question: Can America Continue? Fresh from a gathering with legendary civil rights attorney Fred Gray, we connect past and present to examine how a US Social Structure grounded and reliant on a global network of unequal labor and exclusion, is speeding its inevitable and perhaps dispositive existential crisis. We juxtapose broadly inclusive Ways of Knowing against the threat of religious extremism and nationalism, the erosion of goals of pluralistic governance, and the desperate advance of metaphors of culture war.
