What Does Solidarity Mean?
“It's very easy for us to talk about being in solidarity with somebody or groups of people, but what do we mean by that? What is the history of that?”
Panel 1 of the event "Solidarity: Beyond the Disaster-Verse" held on 30th March 2024.
The first panel from our event on 30th March 2024, “Solidarity: Beyond the Disaster-Verse,” at ShapeShifter Lab in Brooklyn, New York, which marked the close of Volume 2 Issue 1 of SAAG.
Here, Kamil Ahsan, Azad Essa, Heba Gowayed, Tehila Sasson, and Suchitra Vijayan discuss what "solidarity" means as a concept, how it is used, and whether it is useful.
It begins with some of the rhetoric that Kamil Ahsan discusses in his essay and editorial that closed Vol. 2 Issue 1 of SAAG, entitled Into the Disaster-Verse.
What follows is a discussion of four books from the panelists, including:
Azad Essa's Hostile Homelands: The New Alliance Between India and Israel (Pluto Press, November 2022),
Heba Gowayed's Refuge: How the State Shapes Human Potential (April 2022, Princeton University Press),
Suchitra Vijayan's How Long Can the Moon Be Caged? Voices of Indian Political Prisoners (co-authored with Francesca Recchia, Pluto Press, August 2023), and
Tehila Sasson's forthcoming Solidarity Economy: Nonprofits and the Making of Neoliberalism after Empire (May 2024, Princeton University Press).
