Immanuel Ness – Episode 41
from CounterPunch Radio
This week Eric chats with political scientist Immanuel Ness about his new book “Southern Insurgency: The Coming of the Global Working Class,” and the implications of the shift in industrial production to the Global South. Eric and Immanuel explore the themes of the book which include the changing nature of labor struggle, in depth analyses of working class resistance in the “Third World,” and how these struggles must shape and inform the discussion of solidarity on the Left, particulalry in the developed world. The conversation also touches on the nature of contemporary imperialism, the evolution of non-western capital as a quasi-alternative to western capital’s hegemony, the role of organized labor, and much much more.
