This chapter explores the historical and contemporary significance of Black workers within capitalist structures, challenging traditional labor narratives and emphasizing the intertwined nature of race and class. It critiques mainstream discourses for their lack of nuanced analysis, particularly in relation to the complexities of allyship and solidarity within social movements like Black Lives Matter. The conversation calls for a deeper engagement with historical contexts and grassroots experiences to prioritize genuine activism and collective action.
