New interview! Andrew Anastasi and I discuss the emotional logic of insurance and how racial capitalism is being misconstrued in the present -- as made manifest in some reviews of my book. Grateful for this collaboration between @LPEblog and @HPE_Project
Today, @andrewanastasi and @benchansfield discuss the wave of landlord-perpetrated arson during the 1970s, how residents organized to stop it, and what this tells us about the ongoing interplay between property and racial capitalism.
