The first panel from our event on 30th March 2024, “Solidarity: Beyond the Disaster-Verse,” at ShapeShifter Lab in Brooklyn, New York, which marked the close of Volume 2 Issue 1 of SAAG.
Here, Kamil Ahsan, Azad Essa, Heba Gowayed, Tehila Sasson, and Suchitra Vijayan discuss what "solidarity" means as a concept, how it is used, and whether it is useful.
It begins with some of the rhetoric that Kamil Ahsan discusses in his essay and editorial that closed Vol. 2 Issue 1 of SAAG, entitled Into the Disaster-Verse.
What follows is a discussion of four books from the panelists, including:
Azad Essa's Hostile Homelands: The New Alliance Between India and Israel (Pluto Press, November 2022),
Heba Gowayed's Refuge: How the State Shapes Human Potential (April 2022, Princeton University Press),
Suchitra Vijayan's How Long Can the Moon Be Caged? Voices of Indian Political Prisoners (co-authored with Francesca Recchia, Pluto Press, August 2023), and
Tehila Sasson's forthcoming Solidarity Economy: Nonprofits and the Making of Neoliberalism after Empire (May 2024, Princeton University Press).
