Join us in person or via Zoom to welcome Adolph Reed, Jr for our Fall 2022 Colloquium Series!
In his recent book, The South, Adolph L. Reed Jr. takes up the urgent task of recounting the granular realities of life in the last decades of the Jim Crow South. Reed illuminates the multifaceted structures of the segregationist order. Thanks to his personal history and political acumen, we see America’s apartheid system from the ground up, not just its legal framework or systems of power, but the way these systems structured the day-to-day interactions, lives, and ambitions of ordinary working people.
Adolph L. Reed, Jr. is a political scientist at the University of Pennsylvania. He is author of Class Notes, The Jesse Jackson Phenomenon, W. E. B. DuBois and American Political Thought, and Stirrings in the Jug. He has written articles for The Progressive, Black Agenda and many other publications. This spring, The Cultural Studies Program is grateful to our co-sponsors for their generous support, which helps make colloquium programming possible: the English Department and the Department of History and Art History.
