What's Left? Book Talk - Malcolm Harris and Gabriel Winant at Haymarket House

Link / Additional Info

Join us for a co-sponsored event with Haymarket Books at Haymarket House with best-selling author Malcolm Harris and activist-historian Gabriel Winant for a conversation on Harris’s new book, What’s Left: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis. In What's Left, Malcolm Harris gets real about our remaining options for saving the world. Just as humans have caused climate change, we hold the power to avert a climate apocalypse, but that will only happen through collective political action. Harris outlines the three strategies—progressive, socialist, and revolutionary—that have any chance of succeeding, while also revealing that none of them can succeed on their own. What's Left shows how we must combine them into a single pathway: a meta-strategy, one that will ensure we can move forward together rather than squabbling over potential solutions while the world burns. Harris and Winant will examine where we stand, explore how we got here, and try to chart a way toward a brighter future. Malcolm Harris is the author of the national bestseller Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Kids These Days: The Making of Millennials; and Shit is Fucked Up and Bullshit: History Since the End of History. Gabriel Winant is an associate professor of history at the University of Chicago, a member of the executive council of AAUP/AFT Local 6741, a member of the Dissent editorial board, and author of The Next Shift. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/haymarketbooks/1631889
