[Intro: 12:12]

Michael Beyea Reagan, historian and activist, joins me to discuss his book ‘Intersectional Class Struggle: Theory and Practice,’ an "innovative study [that] explores the relevance of class as a theoretical category in our world today, arguing that leading traditions of class analysis have missed major elements of what class is and how it operates."

In our time of increasing wealth disparity and widespread socioeconomic precarity for the working class (dubbed the "Second Gilded Age"), how can intersectionality, as a theoretical framework and practice, help us more deeply understand and appreciate the liberatory struggles of racial, economic, and feminist movements? Reagan, through his excellent historical documentation in ‘Intersectional Class Struggle,’ has provided a more nuanced, and richer, view of class consciousness that does not fit into crude boxes. 

"Using a historical lens, it studies the experiences of working class peoples, from migrant farm workers in California’s central valley, to the “factory girls” of New England, and black workers in the South to explore the variety of working-class experiences. It investigates how the concepts of racial capitalism and black feminist thought, when applied to class studies and popular movements, allow us to walk and chew gum at the same time—to recognize that our movements can be diverse and particularistic as well as have elements of the universal experience shared by all workers. Ultimately, it argues that class is made up of all of us, it is of ourselves, in all our contradiction and complexity."

Michael B. Reagan is a historian and lecturer at the University of Washington’s Robinson Center for Young Scholars and adjunct faculty at Seattle College. His writing has appeared in Spectre, Truthout, Counterpunch, Perspectives, Found SF, and the South Seattle Emerald.

This episode was originally released for Death Panel patrons on November 21st 2022. We are re-releasing it today, alongside a new transcript of the conversation, because in the past few weeks we have found Jasbir’s work tremendously useful in understanding the enormity of what’s happening in Gaza.

Episode description: Beatrice and Jules speak with Jasbir Puar about the violent global effects of settler colonialism and how they shape our understanding of what we mean by “disability” and “debility.” We discuss how colonial occupation itself can be understood through a theory of debility, colonial constructions of who is labeled a "terrorist," and some of the most important insights from Jasbir's 2017 book The Right to Maim.

Death Panel 501 Refusing to Forget w/ Vicky Osterweil (03/21/24)

Refusing to Forget w/ Vicky Osterweil (03/21/24)

"I would tell your grandma it sounds like apple pie injected with gasoline," says producer Lord RAJA of his RAJA RADIO Sacred Space mix. The collection is released on the back of his remarkable debut album A Constant Moth, a dense 12 tracks of jerky breakbeats and heady aesthetics that range from glitch to footwork to house, released last month on Ghostly International. As his sound pulls you into stratospheric soundscapes and beyond it's clear from both the mix and the album that you're listening to someone operating totally outside of convention.
