Workers Movements in the Global South w/ Immanuel Ness

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Professor Immanuel Ness to talk about his brand new book, Organizing Insurgency: Workers Movements in the Global South.  The book combines theory of workers movements with case studies from India, South Africa, and the Philippines.  A must listen conversation for an internationalist proletarian understanding of workers power!

Immanuel Ness is Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and Senior Research Associate at the University of Johannesburg.  His book Organizing Insurgency is available from Pluto Press: https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745343594/organizing-insurgency/.  His other books include Southern Insurgency: The Coming of the Global Working Class (Pluto Press), Urban Revolt: State Power and the Rise of People's Movements in the Global South (Haymarket Books), and The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism (Palgrave Macmillan).  He is also the editor of the  Journal of Labor and Society (Brill).  Lots of stuff to check out!  Manny can be found on twitter @ImmanuelNess.
