About this listen

Politics for the rich, blatant discrimination against minorities and attacks on basic rights: How can we build new forms of solidarity against the creeping authoritarianism in the United States and elsewhere? In his Benjamin Lectures US-philosopher and Harvard professor Tommie Shelby turns to the tradition of Black Radical thought and the struggles against racial injustice to tackle the question of solidarity, freedom and self-respect in these times. Tommie joins the Dissens Podcast to talk about his idea of a "Political Ethics of the Oppressed", resistance to Trumpism and the democratic vision of abolishing the carceral state.
