SUMMARY:This is Now with Angie Coiro Presents: Morgan Jerkins on Race and Misogyny
DESCRIPTION:Blogger and essayist Morgan Jerkins boldly takes on the most incendiary of topics: the stew of racism\, misogyny\, and white-dominated feminism that sidelines black women from American discourse and influence. Her new book This Will Be My Undoing tallies the cost to us all of objectifying and silencing black women. Lauded by no less a voice than Roxane Gay\, Jerkins’ essays are a fearless tapestry of observation and personal experience. \nIn an evening with Angie Coiro\, host of KLF’s This Is Now series\, Morgan Jerkins examines what it means to walk through America as a black woman today. \nMorgan Jerkins is a writer and contributing editor at Catapult.co\, where she write the essay series To Be Seen and Unseen. Her work has been featured in The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, Elle\, Rolling Stone\, and BuzzFeed. This Will Be My Undoing is her first book.

SUMMARY:An African American and Latinx History of the United States - With Author Paul Ortiz
DESCRIPTION:Paul Ortiz’ new book An African American and Latinx History of the United States is the latest in Beacon Press’s ReVisioning American History series. (Previous titles include Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz’s An Indigenous People’s History of the United States.)\n \n\nOrtiz’ book examines U.S. history through the lens of African-American and Latinx activists. Much of the American history taught in schools is limited to white America\, leaving out the impact of non-European immigrants and indigenous peoples. The author corrects that error in a thorough look at the debt of gratitude we owe to the Haitian Revolution\, the Mexican War of Independence\, and the Cuban War of Independence\, all struggles that helped lead to social democracy. \n\n\n\n\nOrtiz shows the history of the workers for what it really was: a fatal intertwining of slavery\, racial capitalism\, and imperialism. He states that the American Revolution began as a war of independence and became a war to preserve slavery. Thus\, slavery is the foundation of American prosperity. With the end of slavery\, imperialist America exported segregation laws and labor discrimination abroad. As we moved into Cuba\, the Philippines\, and Puerto Rico\, we stole their land for American corporations and used the Army to enforce draconian labor laws. This continued in the South and in California.\n\nThe rise of agriculture in the US could not have succeeded without cheap labor. Mexican workers were often preferred because\, if they demanded rights\, they could just be deported. Convict labor worked even better. The author points out the only way success has been gained is by organizing; a great example was the “Day without Immigrants” in 2006. Of course\, as Ortiz rightly notes\, much more work is necessary\, especially since Jim Crow and Juan Crow are resurging as each political gain is met with “legal” countermeasures.\n\nThis book is a concise\, alternate history of the United States “about how people across the hemisphere wove together antislavery\, anticolonial\, pro-freedom\, and pro-working-class movements against tremendous obstacles.” It is a sleek\, vital history that effectively shows how\, “from the outset\, inequality was enforced with the whip\, the gun\, and the United States Constitution.”
