What can the history of anti-colonial struggle teach us about the formation & dangers of a new political party?

How can we build political vehicles that avoid liberal identitarianism?

This #OAWeek, @pluto-journals.bsky.social is spotlighting research that challenges us to ask: who really owns our knowledge?

Give them a follow as they reflect on accessibility, how knowledge is created & shared, where it comes from & whose voices are recognised & valued.

The two party system is collapsing. Is a new 'Mass Party' the answer for anti-racists?

Mohammed Elnaiem, Gargi Bhattacharyya & Shanice Octavia McBean discuss decolonial politics, the failure of social democracy & the need for an internationalist movement against barbarism & the ruling class.

An eBook cover displayed on a tablet screen features the title Gaza: A Doctor’s Diary by Salman Khalid. The cover image depicts a war-torn landscape with people walking and riding bicycles on a dusty road. In the background, buildings are partially destroyed, and thick black smoke rises into the sky. The title "GAZA" appears in large, bold black letters, with "A DOCTOR’S DIARY" in smaller text beneath it. The author's name is displayed at the top in a simple, sans-serif font. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by shades of gray and beige, conveying a somber and urgent tone.
