#ICanHazPDF

Does anyone have access to a PDF copy of Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class by Robin Kelley?

I found the introduction and Chapter 8 so far but I would like the whole PDF if possible.

Thanks!

I am making a Big Zotero Bibliography of Digital Studies for my preliminary exams

Please add things that you think are essential and (so far) missing from the bib! I am still in the process of adding citations too but this work is boring on your own.

It would also be cool if cis male professors stopped handwringing about scholars who transition and refuse to stop deadnaming ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Transgender Studies were banned in Hungary earlier this year: https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Hungary-Gender-Studies-Ban-Draws-University-Anger-20181016-0018.html

With the new memo about codifying gender into strict given-at-birth binaries, I don’t think I’m being alarmist when I point out that as academics/scholars we all have a responsibility to protect trans people and transgender studies, regardless of discipline.

“Not so much the abolition of prisons but the abolition of a society that could have prisons, that could have slavery, that could have the wage, and therefore not abolition as the elimination of anything but abolition as the founding of a new society.”
