ITEM OVERVIEW
An excellent attempt to engage, address, and discuss the unresolved questions and dynamics within the struggles of anti-capitalism, anti-oppression, and anti-imperialism—while moving beyond the party building of the sectarian left, and the dead end of social democracy. The debut issue comes out strong, with lengthy interviews with Grace Lee Boggs and Ward Churchill; an extended essay on autonomist Marxism; discussions on "diversity of tactics," and on anti-oppression politics and the nature of revolutionary organizing; Selma James on race, sex and class; in-depth book reviews; and more.
The second issue keeps up the pace, with interviews with Himani Bannerji, Grace Lee Boggs and Nicolas Phebus (of NEFAC); essays on Socialism From Below and Indigenous Warrior Societies; round table discussions on Palestin Solidarity Organizing, anti-war activism, immigkrant and refugee defense; book reviews, and more.
Issue three includes Aijaz Ahmad on the Anti-Imperialism of our times; William Robinson on Latin America's challenge to global capitalism; Isael MacDonald on Canadian imperialism in Haiti; AK Thompson on Richard Day's Gramsci Is Dead; Jen Plyler on activist burnout; a round table on the politics of solidarity with the Six Nations land reclamation; books reviews and more...
Issue 4 clocks in at nearly 200 pages, including Robin Isaacs On A Life Of Anarchy, John Holloway on What's Beyond The State, Dan Irving on Trans Politics And Anti-Capitalism, Richard Day on the critics of Gramsci Is Dead, Carmelle Wolfson and Lessley Wood on the World Social Forum, Tom Keefer on Solidarity With Six Nations, round tables on prison abolition and the Vancouver housing crisis, book reviews and more...
