New World Coming: Working-class Pan-Africanism

James Counts Early is joined today by Mikaela Nhondo Erskog, popular educator, editor and researcher of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, and coordinating member of the International Peoples’ Assembly. In this conversation, they discuss the historical legacy of African national liberation and socialist projects, how that legacy is relevant to struggles today, and how popular movements are rebuilding the capacity to fight for alternatives to neoliberal capitalism. Mikaela also discusses her work building up the African regional articulation of the International Peoples’ Assembly and clears up myths about China’s development partnerships with African countries.
