Dockworker Power: Racial Justice, Class Struggle, and Proletarian Internationalism

History Professor Dr. Peter Cole (previous guest from our IWW episode) joins Breht again, this time to discuss his fascinating new book Dockworker Power: Race and Activism in Durban and the San Francisco Bay Area. We discuss the labor history of dockworker unionism, the racial justice campaigns that workers in Apartheid South Africa and the United States partook in, the impact of these labor struggles on local cultures, proletarian internationalism, and so much more.  Check out Peter's book here:  https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/48ydk2be9780252042072.html  Learn more about Peter here:  http://www.wiu.edu/cas/history/cole.php  New RLR Shirts Here:  https://goodsforthepeople.com/all-goods/revolutionary-left-radio  Outro Music: 'Hot October' by Wood Spider LEARN MORE ABOUT REV LEFT RADIO: www.revolutionaryleftradio.com
