Ciarán O'Rourke remembers the work of Mike Davis (1946-2022)

After losing a coveted niche in the trucking industry, I started UCLA as an adult freshman, attracted by rumors of a high-powered seminar on Capital led by Bob Brenner in the History Department.

The essential Mike Davis.

The most pressing debates in left theory from 50 years of radical publishing.

Featuring Walter Rodney, Ellen Meiksins Wood, Theodor Adorno, Erik Olin Wright, Nancy Fraser, and Benedict Anderson.

Marking the 57th anniversary of the 1965 April revolution in the Dominican Republic and the subsequent US military invasion, historian Amaury Rodriguez speaks to Mike Davis about the left-wing mobilizations in solidarity with the Dominican people and the legacy and lessons for anti-imperialist activists today.
