Against the Grain

Police, Race, and the Left Project

Program guests’ insights sometimes have to be left out of the final, edited interviews because of time constraints. This potpourri of previously unaired remarks addresses colonial-era policing in New York City (Ben Brucato); the expansive nature of police power (Mark Neocleous); grand juries as a tool of state repression (Michael Staudenmaier); James Baldwin’s criticisms of Richard Wright (Joseph Ramsey); the history of Trotskyism in the U.S. (Bryan Palmer); the passing of Leo Panitch (Greg Albo); and efforts to gain access to official documents (Joseph Masco).
