An epistemicide With Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, scholasticide is a central component of the erasure of a people. Beyond physical elimination, genocide entails the murder of a national tradition

Very good piece by my friend and comrade @grundrza.bsky.social

Well, now that I'm officially tenured, I suppose it's finally okay for me to openly edit a Marxist journal and speak my mind on Palestine?

It was a real pleasure doing this interview with @grundrza.bsky.social. What a gift to be read so thoughtfully and to be asked incisive questions about the conceptual core of the book. Check it out!

Hey y'all! This week we have Spectre editor @grundrza.bsky.social interviewing @samklug.bsky.social about his recent book, The Internal Colony ( @uchicagopress.bsky.social ).

It's a great discussion about internationalism within the US Black Radical tradition.

I like to periodically check in on how things are going at Theory and Society. Great to see that they've finally eradicated activism from scholarship and are focused on the wonders of scientific discovery!

Gonna need a South Africa expert like @grundrza.bsky.social to weigh in on this tie here?

(Possibly important context: Deputy Secretary Landau did not attend UF, UVA, or Princeton. Also, the whole β€œassimilation” remark and the non-existent β€œwhite genocide” thing.)
