The Year of Racial Reckoning and the Dead End of Identity w/ Vivek Chibber | Jacobin Show (12/09/20)

 

Every Wednesday at 6 PM ET, Jen Pan, Ariella Thornhill, and Paul Prescod will host a new episode of The Jacobin Show, offering socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This show features Catalyst editor Vivek Chibber to cover the rise of liberal identity politics in 2020 and discuss how socialists can foreground questions of class and redistribution today. We'll also debate critical race theory, and whether it was a step back from more traditional Marxist understandings of racial oppression and its social roots. Vivek Chibber is the editor of Catalyst journal and professor of sociology at New York University. Subscribe to the channel and press the like button!
