7The March on Washington (1963)

The Civil Rights Movement was filled to the brim with Leftists (Jacobin, August 28, 2023). “Today is the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington.

To fight racism, the Left should revive its universalist tradition (Jacobin, July 25, 2023). “We spoke to writer Kenan Malik, whose new book, Not So Black and White, interrogates race and its relationship to class struggle today, tracing the rise of identity politics alongside the decline of the labor movement and universalism.” (på linkboxen Asad Haiders “Mistaken Identity”; Appendix).

16The Israel Lobby?

Why does the US back Israeli terror? By Donny Gluckstein (Socialist Worker, Issue 2863, 7 July 2023). “A ‘Zionist lobby’ doesn’t force the West to support the oppression of Palestinians.
