Freedom Is a Constant Struggle

Angela Y. Davis

Progressive struggles whether they are focused on racism, repression, poverty or other issues, are doomed to fail if they do not also attempt to develop a consciousness of the insidious promotion of capitalist individualism.

I see my work as reflecting not an individual analysis but rather a sense within movements and collectives that it was not possible to separate issues of race from issues of class and issues of gender.

Just as the struggle to end South African apartheid was embraced by people all over the world and was incorporated into many social justice agendas, solidarity with Palestine must likewise be taken up by organizations and movements involved in progressive causes all over the world. The tendency has been to consider Palestine a separate and unfortunately too often marginal issue. This is precisely the moment to encourage everyone who believes in equality and justice to join the call for a free Palestine.

The Smartphone Society: Technology, Power, and Resistance in the New Gilded Age

The Smartphone Society: Technology, Power, and Resistance in the New Gilded Age Nicole Aschoff We can and should tell our own stories about the kind of society we want to live in, technology and all. In doing so, we can foster new ways of thinking about our digital-analog future. But what stories should we tell? How do we deal with the myriad issues raised by our smartphones? - privacy, autonomy, addiction, surveillance, precarity, narcissism, commodification, democracy. A growing number of voices are weighing in on these questions, which is a good thing because, unlike the techno-determinists who until recently have received a disproportionate amount of airtime, it assumes that we can do something. If our future is not to be Silicon Valley´s Dis-Utopia then what is it to be? What is our version of Utopia? Or a more manageable question, What relationship should we have with the technology and corporations that have, largely through our smartphones, come to play a central role in ...
