Hey y'all! 51 years later, we have susie day writing on Carol Crooks and the August Rebellion at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women.

We love this piece! Give it a read.

Carol Jean Crooks was a Black d**e. Born October 12, 1946, she grew up on the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and died alone in early 2022. She worked and fought all her life in relative obscurity. Though most of her work wasn’t legal, her fights created a better and fairer world.

Let the haunting begin...

Spectre’s editors – Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, Kate Doyle Griffiths, Zachary Levenson, Holly Lewis, David McNally, Charlie Post, Ashley Smith and Vanessa Wills – have come together to plan for building a sustainable print and web journal open to a wide range of Marxist theories and practices. We have already lined up a series of exciting full-length articles from a mix of highly renowned authors and emerging writers who many not yet be widely known but certainly will be; activists and organizers, academics and intellectuals. We know that capitalism is a global system that permeates every aspect of our lives, and our analysis must also be internationalist. Spectre will be a home for the kind of grounded theoretical contributions necessary to explain and raise important questions about the connections between social struggles, politics, and the economy in North America and around the world.

If you want a Marxism that doesn’t counterpose itself to struggles around questions of racism, cis-heteropatriarchy, homophobia, ableism, and xenophobia, but instead takes these as its point of departure, you’ll love Spectre. Or if you hear a lot of talk about socialism today but wonder whatever happened to discussion of working class struggle, we’re your thing. Whether you fashion yourself a theorist or you’re simply interested in a new venue for serious strategic debate, look no further. Spectre has arrvied.
