Bringing Indigenous Revolution to Campus
<p dir="ltr">From Columbia to the University of California Santa Cruz, the Palestine solidarity movement has moved on to college campuses across the United States. In most cases, students are pressuring their institutions to divest endowment funds from corporations which maintain financial ties to the state of Israel—a demand which ties into the broader Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) strategy.</p> <p dir="ltr">The student movement on campuses has generally taken to the tactic of occupying public space with tents and other semi-permanent structures. In so doing, these encampments have become hubs of round the clock activity. Included in the maintenance of the encampments are efforts to deepen political education, typically through teach-ins and other programming on a variety of topics.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode of From Below we bring you into the student encampment at Stanford University, where receently members of Black Rose Anarchist Federation helped to organize a panel discussion on indigenous revolution. This panel discussion featured a Palestinian healthcare worker, a Kurdish graduate student, and a Mapuche healthcare worker; each of whom offered a different—and at times divergent—perspective on indigenous organizing.</p> <p> </p>

Means and Ends With Zoe Baker
<p>Here is our conversation with author and historian Zoe Baker. Until recently, Zoe was perhaps best known for publishing YouTube videos on anarchist theory and history under the moniker <em>anarchopac</em>. Zoe's new title from AK Press <em>'Means and Ends: The Revolutionary Practice of Anarchism in the United States and Europe'</em>, takes the thorough research and accessible prose she's known for in her YouTube commentary and expands it to book length.</p> <p><em>Means and Ends</em> covers the period of anarchist activity and theory between 1868-1939 in both Europe and the United States. In our conversation we discuss Zoe's dual roles as revolutionary and scholar, political historiography, the relevant lessons to be drawn from anarchism's past, and much more.</p> <p>You can find Zoe's YouTube channel at: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@anarchozoe">www.youtube.com/@anarchozoe</a></p> <p>You can purchase <em>Means and Ends</em> from AK Press at: <a href= "https://www.akpress.org/means-and-ends.html">www.akpress.org/means-and-ends.html</a></p> <p>Be sure to give From Below a follow on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/frombelowpod/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/frombelowpod">Twitter</a>!</p> <p>From Below is a podcast produced by members of Black Rose / Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation.
