This explosive situation has to be the continual nightmares of the political strategists of the ruling class, as the prolonged unemployment and deteriorating economic situations that conditioned those uprisings have returned on a globalized scale.
Today these conditions are not limited to the black ghettoes, and they are now devastating many other communities, particularly increasing sections of whites in the so-called “developed” world.
On the 50th anniversary of the Watts Uprising, we released a new book from Willie Baptist, our Scholar-in-Residence and Coordinator of Poverty Scholarship and Leadership Development:
“It’s Not Enough to Be Angry” is a collection of the recent writings of Willie Baptist. The title essay – a reflection from Baptist’s 50 years of political activity and leadership in the struggle against poverty and oppression – draws on the study of history, political economy, ideology, and organizing strategy to offer an analysis of the global problems facing our whole society today, and points to a way forward for organizers and leaders looking to solve those problems.
On September 25th, 2015 Willie will lead an online seminar about the crisis facing our global economy and society; the role that the global poor and dispossessed can and must play in finding a way out of the crisis; and the strategic necessity of fighting for the unity and leadership of the poor today. You can listen to the audio from that seminar below, and you can buy your copy of “It’s Not Enough to Be Angry” here.
