“All Will Be Equalized!” (Bookfair Session)

This event is taking place as part of the Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair, three days of workshops and tabling with music performances at night.

Andrew Zonneveld and Modibo Kadalie present a new book documenting 350 years of multi-racial solidarity through anti-slavery activity in Georgia. From Afro-Indigenous communities of the Sea Islands and the Okefenokee Swamp to inter-racial networks of anti-Confederate resistance during the Civil War, and post-war labor strikes by Black and white granite workers at Stone Mountain, this new study of Georgia's freedom movements tells the story of oppressed peoples of African, Indigenous, and even European descent who fought together against slavery and colonialism while building multi-racial communities of resistance in remote areas outside of state or colonial authority.

Andrew Zonneveld is an independent scholar, writer, and musician from Atlanta, Georgia. He is the editor of The Commune: Paris, 1871 and To Remain Silent is Impossible: Emma Goldman & Alexander Berkman in Russia.

Modibo Kadalie has spent nearly six decades as an activist, organizer, teacher, and scholar in the civil rights, Black power, and Pan-African movements. In Pan-African Social Ecology: Speeches, Conversations, and Essays, he reflects on the sit-ins, boycotts, strikes, urban rebellions, and anticolonial movements that have animated the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries. Kadalie demonstrates how the forms of direct democracy that have evolved through these freedom struggles present the promise of a future defined by social liberation as well as ecological healing.
