DR. JEFFERY B. PERRY
"The Invention of the White Race"

Dr. Jeffrey B. Perry will offer a slide presentation and talk on Theodore W.
Allen's The Invention of the White Race. Theodore W. Allen (1919-2005) was
an anti-white-supremacist, working-class intellectual and activist whose
work focuses on the centrality of the struggle against white supremacy to
efforts at progressive social change.

Jeff Perry is an independent, working-class scholar formally educated at
Princeton, Harvard, Rutgers, and Columbia. His work focuses on the role of
white supremacy as a retardant to progressive social change and on the
centrality of struggle against white supremacy to progressive social change.

Music by Bury Me Standing (Vessela Stoyanova & Nate Greenslit).
