She will present a Marxist-Humanist alternative to understanding the value and role of identity groups  in the struggle for total liberation. Writings by Raya Dunayevskaya will be covered:

• “New Passions and New Forces: The Black Dimension, the Anti-Vietnam War Youth, Rank-and-File Labor, Women’s Liberation,” in Philosophy and Revolution
