The notion that queer people inevitably or automatically possess an anti-capitalist politics or positionality is absurd. On this season, radical black women at Jonestown. The Fight for a Neighborhood Garden in Cairo. A kaleidoscopic history of the US interstate system. UFO sightings, identity politics, 70s feminism, and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Featuring Max Fox and Chris Nealon on the late Christopher Chitty's book Sexual Hegemony: Statecraft, Sodomy, and Capital in the Rise of the World System.
