What are the origins of the hostile environment against immigrants in the UK? In We're Here Because You Were There: Immigration and the End of Empire (Verso, 2021), Patel retells Britain's recent history in an often shocking account of state racism that still resonates today. In a series of post-war immigration laws from 1948 to 1971, arrivals from the Caribbean, Asia and Africa to Britain went from being citizens to being renamed immigrants. In the late 1960s, British officials drew upon an imperial vision of the world to contain what it saw as a vast immigration “crisis” involving British citizens, passing legislation to block their entry. As a result, British citizenship itself was redefined along racial lines, fatally compromising the Commonwealth and exposing the limits of Britain's influence in world politics. Combining voices of so-called immigrants trying to make a home in Britain and the politicians, diplomats and commentators who were rethinking the nation, Ian Sanjay Patel excavates the reasons why Britain failed to create a post-imperial national identity. Ian Sanjay Patel is Assistant Professor in Sociology and Social Research at Birkbeck College, University of London. His work explores connections between human rights, intellectual history, global history, and political thought. His first book, We're Here Because You Were There: Immigration and the End of Empire, was shortlisted for the PEN International Hessell-Tiltman Prize and chosen as a BBC History Magazine Book of the Year. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Lamis Abdelaaty is an associate professor of political science at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University.

Does it ever feel like you have no free time? You come home after work and instead of finding a space of rest and relaxation, you're confronted by a pile of new tasks to complete – cooking, cleaning, looking after the kids, and so on. In After Work: A History of the Home and the Fight for Free Time (Verso, 2023), Dr. Helen Hester and Dr. Nick Srnicek lay out how unpaid work in our homes has come to take up an ever-increasing portion of our lives – how the vacuum of free time has been taken up by vacuuming. Examining the history of the home over the past century – from running water to white goods to smart homes – they show how repeated efforts to reduce the burden of this work have faced a variety of barriers, challenges, and reversals. Charting the trajectory of our domestic spaces over the past century, Dr. Hester and Dr. Srnicek consider new possibilities for the future, uncovering the abandoned ideas of anti-housework visionaries and sketching out a path towards real free time for all, where everyone is at liberty to pursue their passions, or do nothing at all. It will require rethinking our living arrangements, our expectations and our cities. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: In light of Cornel West's third-party presidential bid, Eric Blanc, assistant professor of Labor Studies at Rutgers University, author of Red State Revolt: The Teachers' Strike Wave (Verso, 2019) and the newsletter laborpolitics.substack.com, and a member of NYC Democratic Socialists of America, discusses the state of the American left pre-2016, how its evolved over the last seven years, and his theory for how the left should build power moving forward. We look at the findings of a report that investigates why some teens and young adults in New York City carry guns. The study is by the Center for Justice Innovation based on interviews with more than 100 young people from Crown Heights. Study authors, Javonte Alexander and Basaime Spate, Community Research Coordinators at the Center for Justice Innovation, and Elise White, director of Action Research at the Center for Justice Innovation, walk us through their research. Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist and the author of many books, including The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War (Simon & Schuster, 2020), draws on his expertise in nuclear history to discuss whether Christopher Nolan's epic new film Oppenheimer is historically accurate - plus reveals a little-known political controversy within the other big new movie, Barbie. Katie Honan, senior reporter at The City, recently stumbled upon an artichoke parm sandwich (heretofore referred to as "the sandwich") she'd never seen on a menu before, at a small deli in Brooklyn. She talks about the history of the deli and how the sandwich came to be as listeners call in to share a hidden culinary gem. The beautiful work of West African hair braiders can be seen on the heads of many who wander New York City streets. While their work is highly visible, little is heard about the many occupational injuries hair braiders obtain on the job. Houreidja Tall, NYC based freelance journalist, shares her reporting on the often untold stories of hair braiders, their pain, and systemic lack of workplace protections.   These interviews were polished up and edited for time, the original versions are available here: The Left's Way Forward (Jul 10, 2023) Why Some Young People Carry Guns (Jul 26, 2023) The History Behind the New Movie 'Oppenheimer' (Jul 25, 2023) 'The Sandwich' and Other Hidden Culinary Gems (Jun 20, 2023) The Physical Toll of Hair Braiding (Jul 26, 2023)

Benjamin Y. Fong is author of the new book Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st Century Binge, which was just released in July, 2023 by Verso Books. Ben is an honors faculty fellow and associate director of the Center for Work & Democracy at Arizona State University, and his work has appeared in Jacobin, Catalyst, and the New York Times. Previously, Ben's work focused on the (usually negative) effects of neoliberal capitalism, writing about NGOs, labor leaders, and health care. Quick Fixes expands this examination into the world of drugs, examining nine different kinds of intoxicants, and five “orienting claims” that place their use within in larger capitalist histories. A bit about the book... Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics--across the board, consumption has shot up in the 21st century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here? Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America's passionate love and intense hatred for drugs has been one of its defining characteristics for over a century. Through nine chapters, each devoted to the modern history of a drug or class of drugs, Fong examines Americans' fraught relationship with psychoactive substances. As society changes it produces different forms of stress, isolation, and alienation. These changes, in turn, shape the sorts of drugs society chooses. By laying out the histories, functions, and experiences of our chemical comforts, the hope is to help answer that ever perplexing question: what does it mean to be an American? Emily Dufton is the author of Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America (Basic Books, 2017). A drug historian and writer, her second book, on the development of the opioid addiction medication industry, is under contract with the University of Chicago Press. Learn more about your ad choices.

Big Tech locked us into their systems by making their platforms hard to leave by design. The impossibility of staying connected to people on their platforms after you delete your account has nothing to do with technological limitations: it's an intentional business strategy. In The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation (Verso, 2023), Cory Doctorow explains how to seize the means of computation, by forcing Silicon Valley to do the thing it fears most: interoperate. Interoperability will tear down the walls between technologies, allowing users leave platforms, remix their media, and reconfigure their devices without corporate permission.

Italia verso lo stato d'emergenza in 5 regioni, Abruzzo, Emilia Romagna, Lombardia, Marche e Molise, tra la tempesta che ha colpito la Lombardia e gli incendi che divampano in Sicilia. La decisione era prevista oggi in Consiglio dei Ministri, che si dovrebbe tenere alle 19, ma stando alle ultime notizie dovrebbe slittare alla prossima settimana. Il ministro per la Protezione civile, Nello Musumeci, ha spiegato che "Siamo in attesa che dalle regioni colpite arrivi non solo la formale richiesta dello stato di emergenza (alcune lo hanno fatto, come Veneto e Sicilia) ma anche la delimitazione della zona rossa e la quantificazione dei danni. E' ancora presto e in alcuni territori la calamità è tuttora in corso. Credo che la prossima settimana come Governo saremo in condizione di deliberare lo stato di emergenza e stanziare le prime necessarie risorse". Secondo una primissima stima fatta dalla Protezione civile siciliana, i roghi che negli ultimi due giorni hanno devastato l'Isola, in oltre cento Comuni con picchi di 45-47 gradi, hanno causato oltre 60 milioni di euro di danni. A questi bisogna aggiungere gli oltre 200 milioni di euro, quantificati dagli Ispettorati provinciali dell'Agricoltura, per l'eccezionale ondata di calore e gli altri danni, in fase di determinazione, per la distruzione di produzioni e strutture agricole a seguito degli incendi. In Veneto, ha dichiarato il governatore Zaia, i danni potranno superare complessivamente i 100 milioni di euro. In Lombardia la Regione chiede lo stato di calamità naturale e stima danni per oltre 120 milioni di euro.Intanto proseguono le indagini della Procura etnea sull'incendio che ha colpito nei giorni scorsi l'aeroporto di Catania: potrebbe essere partito dal cavo di una stampante il rogo che la sera del 16 luglio ha gravemente danneggiato il terminal principale dell'aeroporto Fontanarossa. Ne parliamo con Manuela Perrone de il Sole 24 Ore.Lavoro in edilizia e nei campi, misure contro il caldo recordIl governo corre ai ripari contro l'emergenza caldo: con un decreto legge verrà estesa la possibilità di chiedere la cassa integrazione ad ore in caso di eventi estremi non evitabili, escludendola dal computo delle settimane del biennio mobile. Non è ancora sicuro che la norma verrà inserita nel Cdm di questa sera alle 19 ma sembra inevitabile che il governo intervenga a breve. La novità che sarà contenuta in un Dl atteso all esame del Consiglio dei ministri di oggi riguarda la Cassa Integrazione Guadagni Ordinaria (CIGO) per lavoratori edili e lapidei e la Cassa integrazione agricola (CISOA) per gli addetti a tempo indeterminato nell'agricoltura, i settori più esposti alle alte temperature. Inoltre per la Cisoa è prevista una comunicazione semplificata. Lo ha annunciato il ministro del Lavoro, Marina Calderone alle parti sociali convocate a distanza, per un confronto con il ministro della Salute Orazio Schillaci, Inl, Inps, Inail, Anci, Upi e Conferenza delle Regioni sulla bozza del Protocollo condiviso per l'adozione delle misure di contenimento dei rischi da esposizione ad alte temperature negli ambienti di lavoro.

Join leading international relations experts Gilbert Achcar and Ilya Budraitskis as the discuss Achcar's latest book The New Cold War: The United States, Russia, and China from Kosovo to Ukraine. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, warnings of a new Cold War proliferated. In fact, the New Cold War has been ongoing since the late 1990s. Racing to solidify its position as the last remaining superpower, the US alienated Russia and China, pushing them closer and rebooting the ‘old' Cold War with disastrous implications. Vladimir Putin's consequent rise and imperialist reinvention, along with Xi Jinping's own ascendancy and increasingly autocratic tendencies, would culminate, respectively, in the invasion of Ukraine and mounting tensions over Taiwan and trade. Was all this inevitable? What comes after Ukraine, and what might the contours of a more peaceful world look like? These questions and others will be discussed in the launch of The New Cold War.

Is there such a thing as “the Israel lobby,” and how powerful is it really? Hilary Frances Aked's book Friends of Israel: The Backlash Against Palestine Solidarity (Verso, 2023) provides a forensically researched account of the activities of Israel's advocates in Britain, showing how they contribute to maintaining Israeli apartheid. The book traces the history and changing fortunes of key actors within the British Zionist movement in the context of the Israeli government's contemporary efforts to repress a rising tide of solidarity with Palestinians expressed through the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Offering a nuanced and politically relevant account of pro-Israel actors' strategies, tactics, and varying levels of success in key arenas of society, it draws parallels with the similar anti-boycott campaign waged by supporters of the erstwhile apartheid regime in South Africa.
