“In 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔, Eunsong Kim traces how racial capitalism and colonialism situated the rise of US museum collections and conceptual art forms.” Get ready. @clepsydras is one of the best thinkers among us. dukeupress.edu/the-politics-o…
“Lovett was an early member of an overlooked chorus of Black radicals and others who fled the West for state-socialist projects the world over, just to discover they still had not escaped oppression and violence.” He was killed on this day in 1939. offshootjournal.org/no-escaping-th…
I wrote this in 2022 and it changed the direction of my work. Lovett was one of the earliest Black communists in the US and he was killed in the Gulag system on this day. Learn about his life.

An incredible interview with Eusi Kwayana. Worth a read. ”I wish people unity and solidarity in their struggle against oppression. I wish them safety and salvation. I wish them the right path of action that will help them in their self-emancipation.” offshootjournal.org/a-way-through-…
Re-reading:
“I see pan-Africanism as anything that joins in a struggle for the liberation and delivery from jeopardy of people of African descent at home or abroad. The philosophy governing it may vary from feminism, to Garveyism, to Marxism, and so on.”– Eusi Kwayana offshootjournal.org/a-way-through-…
Eusi Kwayana: “The PPP wanted power, yes. But the PPP also had a view of the world that did not urge them to struggle in the same way as we were struggling, for an authentic system developed by the working people, managed by the working people.” offshootjournal.org/a-way-through-…
“I stand with Walter Rodney and say that self-emancipation is the only true emancipation. If somebody else emancipates you, you’re not emancipated! It has to be self-emancipation.”– Eusi Kwayana offshootjournal.org/a-way-through-…
You can read this interview and more in the rerelease of the classic text ‘Scars of Bondage’ by Tchaiko and Eusi Kwayana. This interview contains a wealth of perspective for anyone working closely with this history. Thank you to the Kwayana family. x.com/williamcson/st…

I interviewed Eusi Kwayana. He's a key figure in the history of Pan-Africanism and revolutionary struggle in Guyana. He reflected at great length on his time in various organizations, and parties, and how he sees struggle today. Read on @journaloffshoot. offshootjournal.org/a-way-through-…
“I do not have the kind of ego for telling people what to do when they are on the spot...Do not expect from me an answer about what I think should be done. I don’t know, frankly. And I’m not ashamed that I do not know.”– Eusi Kwayana to @williamcson Read: offshootjournal.org/a-way-through-…
Can’t imagine a more important time — oil vultures have deemed Guyana the “new” hot spot. We have a lot to learn!!

I just learned about Fort-Whiteman and Sen Katayama recently. The points of contact between the Bolsheviks and Soviets, Meiji-era Japan, (Black) communists in the American South, and the Mexican revolution are fascinating.

Some profound reflections on language, truth, power via letters from a prison in Hong Kong #mustread offshootjournal.org/lettersfromhk/
“The only cure will be a transformation of the whole society, & an entirely new knowledge order…It is through language that you & I…develop a mechanism to understand one another, do you see the immense potential there?! Language is entirely the point!” offshootjournal.org/what-will-be-t…
"Because to press again, if language is power, why hasn’t the world erupted upon hearing the testimony of survivors? How has the poetry of war criminals eradicated our dreams? Do you believe your dreams have nothing to do with their language?" @clepsydras offshootjournal.org/lettersfromhk/
amazing amazing amazing. Via Christina: "She and all those incarcerated do not require ideological protection/projection; they need material commitments towards the abolition of all prisons all around the world." offshootjournal.org/lettersfromhk/
Wow I am so glad I read this…I had no idea this was happening in Hong Kong…I hope she gets out early and is showered with love 😞language is indeed powerful
When a former student was imprisoned in Hong Kong, @clepsydras worked to publish her letters. Read what they say. “I wasn’t too surprised...Hundreds of teenagers were sent to the prison already. But I still think it’s surreal and unbelievable.” offshootjournal.org/lettersfromhk/

happy birthday to my intellectual north star, sylvia wynter. “the rule is love” today and everyday ✨💕
«He understands that history is not always a structure of control that births meaning from so many corralled, mis-sighted pasts; most of the time it flickers or flares from within or between. He encounters a different sense of time…» (via @journaloffshoot)
«The artist knew these animals intimately; his hands could visualise them in the dark. What the rock told him was that the animals – like everything else which existed – were inside the rock, and that he, with his red pigment, could persuade them to come to the rock’s surface.»
«What Berger saw as “human presence in every animal figure.” I would even say that pleasure with recognition suggests something more like collusion, as in the original Latin sense of ‘playing together’ (col- + ludere), a secret agreement or cooperation.»
Rock became lion. Surfaces, lines and handprints indicated points of communion rather than separation. Cro-Magnon art didn’t respect borders. Instead their images, under firelight, expressed community, liveliness, mutual recognition. @journaloffshoot offshootjournal.org/untenable-hist…
