Presentation: Arun Gupta “What Anti-War Movement?”
It’s now eight years after 9/11. The American government is escalating its war in Afghanistan and Pakistan (and is still engaged in Iraq). Yet, the once massive anti-war movement(s) has all but disappeared. Please join Arun Gupta for an examination of failures of our resistance and for a discussion about the consensual and coercive hegemonies in American political culture that compromised it. Gupta is a founding editor at “The Indypendent” newspaper.
