Organizing, Militant Unionism, & the Class War: The Fighting (Life &) Times of Jon Melrod
In this outstanding episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Jon Melrod to discuss his new book Fighting Times: Organizing on the Front Lines of the Class War (use code FIGHTING to get 40% off)! In this episode, we discuss the life and times of Jon, who in many ways is a real working class hero. We talk about his early embrace of radical political ideology, his radical campus organizing, his 13 years fighting in and organizing within industrial factories in Wisconsin, his rise within the UAW, and his post-factory work as a lawyer representing political refugees and victims of police violence. This conversation is really inspiring, and we cannot recommend enough that you pick up the book, read it with fellow workers, and share this episode with those you think would benefit! Jon Melrod is a journalist, activist, and lawyer that left the campus for the factory in 1973. For thirteen years, he immersed himself in the day-to-day struggles of Milwaukee’s working class, both on the factory floor and in the political arena. Despite FBI surveillance and interference, Jon organized a militant rank-and-file caucus and rose through union ranks to a top leadership position in UAW Local 72. After this part of his career, he opened a law firm in San Francisco, successfully representing hundreds of political refugees. You can follow Jon on twitter @JonathanMelrod, and keep up with his latest work and read more about his story on his website jonathanmelrod.com.

Dinosaurs and Decolonizing Paleontology w/ Aline Ghilardi, Juan Cisneros, & Tito Aureliano
In this episode of Guerrilla History, we have a fascinating discussion alongside three wonderful paleontologists based in Brazil about efforts to decolonize paleontology and restitute stolen fossils. These three have written some great articles on this topic, such as The moral and legal imperative to return illegally exported fossils, Colonial history and global economics distort our understanding of deep-time biodiversity, and Digging deeper into colonial palaeontological practices in modern day Mexico and Brazil. This is a crucial conversation, and one which we feel doesn't get nearly enough attention even within political circles like the one we operate in. #IrritatorBelongstoBr Aline Ghilardi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geology at UFRN. You can find the work that her (and Tito's) paleontology lab does at the website en.dinolab.com.br. Aline can be followed on twitter @alinemghilardi Juan Cisneros is a paleontologist and an Associate Professor in the Department of Geology at UFPI twitter @PaleoCisneros. Tito Aureliano is an Associate Researcher at DINOlab in the Department of Geology at UFRN. His work can be viewed at the same website linked in Aline's bio above. In addition, Tito and Aline co-run a multimedia science communication project titled Colecionadores De Ossos (Bone Collectors), which includes a YouTube channel, books, comics, and even a video game!

Empire and the Deep State - American Exception w/ Aaron Good
In this fascinating and fun episode, Aaron Good comes on the show to discuss his book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State. This is a great conversation which focuses on Aaron's conceptualizing of exceptionism and how the American Empire works. This topic is critical for us, as the concept of "the Deep State" has been distorted by the right-wing, and obscures the workings of the actual Deep State here within the belly of the beast. Aaron Good has a PhD in Political Science from Temple University. His dissertation, “American Exception: Hegemony and the Tripartite State,” examined the state, elite criminality, and US hegemony. His book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State is available from Skyhorse Publishers, and he has a website and podcast of the same name which can be found at https://americanexception.com/.

Why Anti-Racism Means Anti-Capitalism w/ Arun Kundnani
In this important episode, Arun Kundnani comes on the show to discuss his new book What Is Antiracism?: And Why It Means Anticapitalism. This is a fascinating discussion that focuses on liberal vs. radical conceptions of antiracism, and why liberal antiracism has proven powerless against structural oppression. This topic is important for us to think about as we build movements that tackle all forms of oppression, including racial oppression. Arun Kundnani has been active in antiracist movements in Britain and the United States for three decades. He is a former editor of the journal Race & Class and was a scholar-in-residence at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. His website can be found at https://www.kundnani.org/ and you can follow him on Twitter @@ArunKundnani.
