The Realignment

Kyle Strickland, Deputy Director, Race and Democracy at the Roosevelt Institute joins The Realignment to build upon last week’s episode with John McWhorter.

Kyle is the co-author of a new report: A New Paradigm for Justice and Democracy: Moving Beyond the Twin Failures of Neoliberalism and Racial Liberalism. In this episode, he discusses the past, present, and future of the civil rights movement, the tie between race and class, and how 20th-century paradigms no longer provide the framework for governing the United States.

Happy Thanksgiving Realignment listeners! From now on, whenever we release on holidays, we’re going to release (probably) non-political content that captures the holiday’s spirit and Marshall and Saagar’s interests.

High on our priority list today/this weekend is catching up on all the different movies/shows we’ve missed this and last year, many of which are comic book-themed.

In that spirit, today’s guest, Jeremy Dauber, professor of Jewish Literature and American Studies at Columbia University and author of American Comics: A History and Jewish Comedy: A Serious History, joins The Realignment to discuss the past, present, and future of American comics, why we’re stuck in a sequel/reboot spiral, and how culture war debates over diversity and representation are playing out in the pages of major comics.

John McWhorter, Columbia University professor, New York Times columnist, and author of Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America, joins the Realignment to discuss the state of civil rights discourse in America and how the country can move past our post-Summer 2020 stalemate.
