What is destituent power?

Jamie and Sam are joined by author and philosopher Idris Robinson to discuss his new book, The Revolt Eclipses Whatever The World Has To Offer, a collection of essays on revolution. How is the project of overthrowing capitalism wedded to that of black liberation, and why must we move past the politics of intersectionality? Civil war, martyrdom, and other concepts white people have trouble with. The black leadership vs the black avant-garde. How the Beckys of the world might yet become traitors to whiteness. And what the hell are destituent politics?? Idris explains.
