Listen "S8E4 - Comrades"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Disasters: Deconstructed. We have a really special episode for you today, which we hope will highlight International Women's Day tomorrow, March 8th!
Joining us is Dr Charisse Burden-Stelly. Charrise is an Associate Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University and a critical Black Studies scholar of political theory, political economy, intellectual history, and historical sociology. Charisse’s work focuses on the transnational entanglements of U.S. racial capitalism, anticommunism, and antiblack structural racism. Charisse is the co-author, with Dr. Gerald Horne, of W.E.B. Du Bois: A Life in American History and the co-editor of the recent book Organise, Fight, Win: Black Communist Women’s political writings, with Jodi Dean.
Listen in as we discuss what it is to be a comrade, and how to push back on liberal notions that might equate it with allyship. We learn more about Black Communist Women in the U.S. and unpack tensions around political education and organizing.
Thanks to Dr. CBS for spending time with us!
