Jeff Schuhrke speaks with Aparna Gopalan in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Verso. A conversation about the new book Blue Collar Empire—which recounts the AFL-CIO’s global anticommunist crusade in the late 20th century, shows how it took place in partnership with the US government’s Cold War-era quest to control labor struggles abroad, and explores what this history means for the possibility of international solidarity in the US labor movement today. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
