記事

“【Caption】For a moment, the George Floyd uprising made the white supremacist power structure tremble. Let's hold on to that with all we've got.”

“【Caption】No politics but class politics: but which class and what politics? Joshua Clover and Nikhil Pal Singh argue, against those who seek to cleave race from class, that the proletariat is found, like power, anywhere there’s people.”

“【Caption】A new book makes the case for a more pragmatic anti-policing movement―one that seeks to build working-class solidarity across racial lines.”

“【Caption】The discipline emerged from Black struggle. Now the College Board wants it to be taught with barely any mention of Black Lives Matter.”

“【Caption】King called for a “radical revolution of values.””／“【Exordium】Another year, another Martin Luther King Jr. Day, when social media will be flooded with the usual photos of the civil rights icon and posts about judging people by their character and not the color of their skin. Liberals and conservatives alike will pay lip service to King’s dreams ― but what did those dreams really entail?”

“【Exordium】差別や分断はどのように生まれ、なぜなくならないのか。長年、人種差別の問題を見つめてきた文化人類学者の竹沢泰子さんは、「社会的に作られた」考え方にこそ注意を促します。私たちは、なぜ何かを分類したり区別したりしてしまうのか。社会を前に進めていくには、どうすればいいのでしょうか。”

“【Caption】Throughout the early to mid-20th century, black communist women led mass campaigns to build collective power, joining the fight for black liberation with the struggle for economic equality. Their goal: the overthrow of capitalism.”

“【Exordium】Her iconic afro silhouette. The recognizable cadence of her voice: both urgent and patient. Oakland-based activist and educator Angela Davis is a cultural icon whose life’s work has influenced so many. Her impact on generations past and present is the subject of Angela Davis ― Seize the Time, an exhibition on view through June 11, 2023 at the Oakland Museum of California.”

“【Caption】A conversation with writer about her pathbreaking book Scenes of Subjection and how our understanding of race has changed in the last two decades.”

“【Caption】Social-justice movements―and two recent interactions―show that interpretations of the world demand more than one account.”

“【Exordium】In this searching reflection on struggle, Vilma Almendra analyzes the colonial trappings of state-centric politics. Written on May 29, 2022, the date of the first round of presidential elections in Colombia, the text argues that elections reinforce systems of domination that undermine self-determination and autonomy. A Nasa and Misak woman, and a member of Pueblos en Camino, Almendra grounds her reflections in the experiences of the indigenous movement in Kauka and the 2021 uprising in Cali, exploring the potential for rebellion and the dangers of cooptation. Ultimately, this is a call to “walk the word” through daily practices of revolt and communal politics that make liberation possible.”

“【Caption】Researchers highlighted the Men’s Rights Asians movement, the prevalence of casteism and social media aggregators of Black-on-Asian crime as examples of “bad actors.””

“【Quot.】When Beyoncé received criticism for using an ableist term in the song "Heated" from "Renaissance" ― her first solo album in six years, which dropped at the end of July ― she quickly changed the lyric. She used the word "spaz," and the critique came largely from disabled people: "Spaz" carries negative connotations for those in the disability community, specifically those of us with cerebral palsy, including myself.”

“【Exordium】When the Black Lives Matter movement gained further worldwide attention and support during the international George Floyd protests in 2020, conversations that ethnic minorities had been having about racism for years had just begun on a globally collective scale. And there were mixed feelings about what change this would bring to racist attitudes in the West and if it would even bring a change at all. But we were all hopeful that a revolution was brewing.”

“【Caption】After years of mental health struggles, Rianna Walcott decided to ask her GP for help. What happened next left her wondering whether racial bias is preventing Black women from accessing the support they need.”
