Organising in the time of COVID19Author: Firoze Manji
We have been doing interviews to enable activists / organisations internationally, especially those in the global South, to share their experiences about the challenges of Organising in a time of COVID-19. Our aim is not only to open discussions about this topic, but also to enable solidarity to be nurtured between organisations and activists, as well as providing a window on experiences that rarely get light in mainstream media.

RACIAL CAPITALISM and COVID-19
Episode 112
Saturday, 17 July, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into sharp relief the deep structural problems affecting 'non-white', racialized workers in the core and periphery. Yet, many social scientific analyses of the global political economy, at least in the pre-COVID era, have been race neutral or wilfully indifferent to the persistent racial pattern of global inequalities. In this interview, David Austin, author of Dread Poetry and Freedom: Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution, Fear of a Black Nation: Race, Sex, and Security in Sixties Montreal, talks with Zophia Edwards, Associate Professor of Sociology and Black Studies at Providence College, Rhode Island US and author of a brilliant analysis of Racial Capitalism and COVID-19 (https://monthlyreview.org/2021/03/01/racial-capitalism-and-covid-19/) about the unremitting super-exploitation of Black and other non-white racialized labor in the core and the periphery that has persisted throughout the COVID-19 crisis, viewed from the lens of Black radical scholarship on racism and capitalism.
