Review of: “Slavery in the British Empire and its Legacy in the Modern World”, by Steve Cushion: The book provides a brisk, highly readable discussion of the central role of slavery in the creation of the Industrial Revolution and of capitalism more generally.
In this year’s march, commemorating the March on Washington 60 years ago, apart from voting rights and police reform, other issues that the marchers are raising are increased antisemitic hate crimes, and attacks on Asian American communities. Also: “60 Years After the March on Washington, Black Economic Inequality Persists”.

Eugenics has been used to argue the superiority of the elite, dominant races, and in India, a “scientific” justification for the caste system as well.
Science showed decades ago that race was a fiction. Has that changed anything?
