Harsha Walia and Mizue Aizeki Discuss “Border & Rule” – Writing the Third World series

Harsha will be in conversation with Mizue Aizeki, Interim Executive Director of Immigrant Defense Project. Harsha and Mizue will discuss how economic and political forces in the US and across the globe have shaped the current international system of migrant and border policing. They will also talk about what the crises of displacement and criminalization mean for Left organizing today.

This conversation is the first event of CPE’s Writing the Third World series that puts scholars and movement leaders and organizers in conversation about a recent work of scholarship on internationalist struggles for liberation and self-determination.
