Challenging a Culture of Domination: Gramsci, the Black Panthers & Revolutionary Hip-Hop

You must have Flash installed to view this content.

This panel discussion builds on the Marxist notion of praxis (conscious political and creative action) as seen through the lens of Italian theorist Antonio Gramsci, the development of the Black Panther Party; and the creation of hip hop. The three topics are interwoven in a need on the part of revolutionaries to develop a revolutionary culture that can challenge the dominant practices of the US capitalist state. How do current organizing practices center culture? How do we connect in the era of Facebook to create new sensibilities for revolutionary practice.
