Join us for a discussion of race, class, and the new economy with E. Paul Durrenberger, coauthor with Suzan Erem of On the Global Waterfront: The Fight to Free the Charleston 5.
On the Global Waterfront, new from Monthly Review Press, tells the present-day story of longshoremen in Charleston, South Carolina, who successfully confronted efforts to wipe out their union, the state’s most powerful black organization, ILA Local 1422. This compelling narrative of a local struggle, a transformed union leader, and a newly energized global workers’ movement details an international campaign that offers powerful lessons for all working people demanding more and better from globalization.
E. Paul Durrenberger is a professor of anthropology at Pennsylvania State University. Durrenberger is coauthor with Suzan Erem of Class Acts: An Anthropology of Service Workers and Their Union and Anthropology Unbound: A Field Guide to the 21st Century.
