I was annoyed with Meta turning me into a digital creator.

I've been working for, I'd say, more than a decade now since my doctoral work, but certainly been thinking about these things since 1998, 1999, when I walked in Sylvia's office, is how do we take that arc that exists in the introduction to reading categorically and build it out? How do we talk about the autonomy of the Black liberation struggle and those conversations that were happening in the 1930s and 1940s? And how pulling on those threads allowed the thinkers, the militants, the workers themselves at the time to think about the autonomy of the working class and then this tradition that has unfolded since.

So I've been writing a book for AK Press called Reading Struggles, Working Class Self-Activity from Detroit to Turin and back again.

And what I'm looking at is this group of theorists, organizers, militants, and workers, and how they thought about and read the struggles that exist in their own context.

So that's the book I'm currently writing.

Uh, I've been working for, I'd say more than a decade now, since my doctoral work, but certainly been thinking about these things since nineteen ninety-eight, nineteen ninety-nine when I walked in Sylvia's office, is how do we take that arc that exists in the introduction to Reading Capital Politically and build it out? How do we talk about the autonomy of the Black liberation struggle and those conversations that were happening in the nineteen thirties and the nineteen forties, and how pulling on those threads allowed the thinkers, the militants, the workers themselves at the time to think about the autonomy of the working class and then this tradition that has unfolded since.

As I was reading the source material and the secondary sources to write this book, I stumbled across again a pamphlet that I have read many times called The American Worker, produced by Anonymous Auto Worker and the great American revolutionary Grace Lee Boggs in 1947.
