ON LIBERALISM, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND RACISM: THE CASE OF IMMANUEL KANT
2024 is dubbed Kant Year in honor of his 300th Birthday.
George Yancy and I talk about how Kant is simultaneously an inspiration for the formulation of universal human rights and antiBlack racism. If liberalism still can’t deliver human rights for all, there is a reason. Hint: There is no contradiction between racism and liberalism.
KURDISH FEMINISM
The Purple Color of Kurdish Politics is a newly translated collection of prison writings by more than twenty Kurdish women politicians. The contributors offer significant analyses of the radical feminist principles and practices through which they transformed the political structures and state offices in which they operated.
