Episode 17 - As Black As Resistance with...

MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING CAPITALISM
About this episode

This week we have two really exciting guests Zoé Samudzi is a writer and doctor student in Medical Sociology at the University of California, San Francisco. William C. Anderson is a freelance writer. His work has been published by the Guardian, MTV, Truthout, and Pitchfork among others. We had Zoé on the show all the way back in episode 2, and for William we've been wanting to have him on the show for a long time and this was a great opportunity. This week we're talking to them about their new book which comes on today June 5th on AK Press. So please, if you haven't already bought a copy, log on to AKpress.org or visit your local radical bookstore and get yourself a copy. 

"As Black As Resistance makes the case for a new program of self-defense and transformative politics for Black Americans, one rooted in an anarchistic framework that the authors liken to the Black experience itself. This book argues against compromise and negotiation with intolerance. It is a manifesto for everyone who is ready to continue progressing towards liberation."
