What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like
our worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical
and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building
power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe. Longtime
organizers and movement educators Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes
examine some of the political lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic,
including the convergence of mass protest and mass formations of
mutual aid, and consider what this confluence of power can teach us
about a future that will require mass acts of care, rescue and
defense, in the face of both state violence and environmental
disaster. The book is intended to aid and empower activists and
organizers as they attempt to map their own journeys through the
work of justice-making. It includes insights from a spectrum
of experienced organizers, including Sharon Lungo, Carlos Saavedra,
Ejeris Dixon, Barbara Ransby, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore about some of
the difficult and joyous lessons they have learned in their work.
In recent years waves of migration from the Middle East, Latin
America and Africa to Europe and North America have been met with a
corresponding rise in anti-immigrant, far-right populism in host
countries, placing the question of migration at the forefront of
politics and social movements. In this sweeping account, Henaway
seeks to understand these patterns through contextualizing global
migration within a history of global capitalism, class formation
and the financialization of migration. As globalization
intensifies, workers everywhere are forced to compete for wages --
not through foreign investment and outsourcing, but through an
increasingly mobile working class. Henaway rejects the dominant
responses of restricting or "managing" migration through temporary
worker programs, proposing that stopping a race to the bottom for
all working people involves building solidarity with migrant worker
struggles for decent work and justice. Through examining the
organizing strategies of migrant workers at giants like Amazon and
Wal-Mart as well as discount retailers like Dollarama and Sports
Direct, the immense power and agency of precarious workers in
global companies like Uber or Airbnb, the successful resistance of
taxi drivers and fast food workers around the world, and the
contemporary mass labour movement organized by new unions and
workers' centres, Henaway shows how migrant demands and strategies
can help shape radical working class politics.

In Border and Rule, one of North America's foremost thinkers and
immigrant rights organizers delivers an unflinching examination of
migration as a pillar of global governance and gendered racial
class formation. Harsha Walia disrupts easy explanations for the
migrant and refugee crises, instead showing them to be the
inevitable outcomes of conquest, capitalist globalization, and
climate change generating mass dispossession worldwide. Border and
Rule explores a number of seemingly disparate global geographies
with shared logics of border rule that displace, immobilize,
criminalize, exploit, and expel migrants and refugees. With her
keen ability to connect the dots, Walia demonstrates how borders
divide the international working class and consolidate imperial,
capitalist, ruling class, and racist nationalist rule. Ambitious in
scope and internationalist in orientation, Border and Rule breaks
through American exceptionalist and liberal responses to the
migration crisis and cogently maps the lucrative connections
between state violence, capitalism, and right-wing nationalism
around the world. Illuminating the brutal mechanics of state
formation, Walia exposes US border policy as a product of violent
territorial expansion, settler-colonialism, enslavement, and
gendered racial exclusion. Further, she compellingly details how
Fortress Europe and White Australia are using immigration diplomacy
and externalized borders to maintain a colonial present, how
temporary labor migration in the Arab Gulf states and Canada is
central to citizenship regulation and labor control, and far-right
nationalism is escalating deadly violence in the US, Israel, India,
the Philippines, Brazil, and across Europe, while producing a
disaster of statelessness for millions elsewhere. A must-read in
these difficult times of war, inequality, climate change, and
global health crisis, Border and Rule is a clarion call for
revolution. The book includes a foreword from renowned scholar
Robin D. G. Kelley and an afterword from acclaimed
activist-academic Nick Estes.
