Between July 29th and November 25th, Stroud Radical Reading Group will host a series of discussions exploring Racial Capitalism. Each of these events will be held on the last Wednesday of the month, 7.30-9.30pm – online via video call.

You need to register for the events in order to access details of the video calls (this is free, will prevent any ‘trolling’ of calls, and enable reminders).

We'd really like people to attend the whole series, but you are welcome to attend a single event or any combination. The events in this series will take place on the following dates, based on the following topics. Full details and access to the texts for discussion are available on the Stroud Radical Reading Group website.

July 29th – Geographies of Racial Capitalism with Ruth Wilson Gilmore

In August we have a break in the series for our summer fiction reading.

September 30th – “The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, slaves, commoners, and the hidden history of the revolutionary Atlantic” by Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker

October 28th – “The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L’Ouverture and the San Domingo revolution” by C.L.R. James

November 25th – “(B)Ordering Britain: Law, race and empire” by Nadine El-Enany.

As ever, Stroud Radical Reading Group events are free to attend. Please contact us about any accessibility requirements. We aim to make the sessions a welcoming space for anyone interested in the topics. You do not need to have a university education or have ever been to a reading group before, and we even welcome people who have not read the text but would like to listen to the discussion. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to know more about how the sessions are run: stroudrrg@gmail.com or 07734 058789.
