Summary
The effects of plantocracy, slavery, racism, capitalism, and white supremacy have had a lasting impact on labor and life in the South. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “May Day: Exporting the Southern Plantocracy” by Sherronda J. Brown, Tea Troutman, and Aarohi Sheth in Scalawag, which explores and analyzes the ways the ruling class in the South has combined anti-Blackness and anti-labor politics to exploit the working class, and highlights how the exploitation of Southern labor may be replicated across the country, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
