About
From the depths of the Rikers Island penal complex, inside the alt-right underground and the carnival of Trump rallies, and in the line of fire in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020...
We're delighted to be hosting a spirited discussion of "rebellion, reaction, and morbid symptoms" with Chicago-based author and agitator Jarrod Shanahan, joined in conversation by public intellectual Eman Abdelhadi.
Jarrod's recent essay collection, Every Fire Needs a Little Bit of Help, brings together a decade of reflections on recent US struggles—Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and the George Floyd Rebellion—alongside accounts of the rise of Trumpism, the alt-right, an apocalyptic shift in popular culture, to paint a dense and complex portrait of a decade of protracted social crisis. Jarrod Shanahan reports from the ground.
