In honor of what would have been famed Communist Party activist, Black nationalist, and revolutionary feminist theorist Claudia Jones' 109th birthdayâas well as the growing working class holiday, Red Books Dayâwe are proud to bring you our first episode in over two years in celebration of our very own red book here at Iskra Books: Internationalism in Practice: Claudia Jones, Black Liberation, and the "Bestial" War on Korea.
Listen in as Denise Lynn, Jessica Reneau, and Talia LĂș read selections of Claudia Jones' writings from Internationalism in Practice, interspersedâin People's Pulse fashionâwith some truly excellent music from The Mighty Terror, Nina Simone, the Staple Singers, and more.
Book description: Internationalism in Practice: Claudia Jones, Black Liberation, and the "Bestial" War on Korea is a timely exploration of Claudia Jonesâ tireless advocacy for international, anti-imperialist, and anti-war solidarity during the pivotal, tumultuous years of the early 1950s. This new scholarly collection from Iskra Books unveils Jonesâ enduring legacy and continued relevance through her original writings, blending sharp theoretical critique, an approachable and accessible wit, and a poignant focus on the unique exploitations experienced by women of historically oppressed ethnicities in the United States.âAmerican mothersâ of all ethnic and cultural groups, Jones wrote, must âemulate the peace struggles of their anti-fascist sisters worldwide to end the bestial Korean war.â This impassioned plea resonates across time, inviting modern readers to reflect on the enduring necessity for a united, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, anti-imperialist front in a world where hostilities against the peoples of the Global South increase by the day.
âWith excellent new contributions from Gerald Horne, Denise Lynn, Tionne Parris, and Betsy Yoon, as well as a classic piece of lesser known writing from Kim Il Sung, Internationalism in Practice bridges past and presentâa testament to Jonesâ fearless dedication to justice, her unyielding stance against imperialist aggressions both abroad and at home, and her foundational advocacy for revolutionary intersectionality and peace.
Internationalism in Practice is an indispensable resource, offering profound insights into the past and present struggles for organizers, workers, educators, and students alike.
