SUMMARY:Book launch: Challenging the Right\, Augmenting the Left
DESCRIPTION:2020 has seen an amplified struggle against the right and capitalism generally. This volume suggests it is essential to rethink longstanding assumptions\, jettison wishful thinking and dated ideas\, and recover wisdom from the past. The authors of Challenging the Right\, Augmenting the Left put forward a range of approaches to help strategize the work that awaits the left in the 2020s. \nWorking within five major thematic areas\, the contributors examine how to engage working class people in anti-capitalist struggles\, oppose ethno-nationalism\, build power inside and outside the state apparatus\, find new strategies of environmental resistance\, and promote solidarity and ecological responsibility. This book provides suggestions for working with popular disaffection by taking the left’s history of refusals and defeats as a starting point for next steps in the struggle against capitalism and the far right\, rather than as the basis for more conflict or defeatism.  \nBrief presentations will be delivered by Niko Block\, Gary Kinsman\, Elise Thorburn\, Sabrina Fernandes\, David Ravensbergen\, and Robert Latham.  \nFollow this link to join the event: ryerson.zoom.us
