This week’s Race + Power newsletter examines the current systems of power in the United States and how they are failing the many. First, we have a new episode of NPQ’s social series “Off the Hook” out now. Next, a legal analysis argues that the recent US Supreme Court decision on affirmative action may have profound implications for hiring in the private sector. Then, an interview with activist and author Astra Taylor on how capitalism makes us insecure and why we must transform the economy for our collective wellbeing. Finally, our new book, Building a Pro-Black World, is an essential guide to shift from simply critiquing white supremacist culture and calling out anti-Blackness to actively designing for pro-Blackness—and how doing so will benefit all of society.
