In FLIGHTS, Joel Whitney offers us a genre-defying group portrait of radicals, dissidents, and whistleblowers on the run, sharing with us the stories of how many of our best-loved poets, writers, journalists, artists, and leaders have been obliged to elude, evade, and flee from the authorities.Collecting for us the dirty and deep 20th century background to our current age of mass surveillance, torture, assassination and censorship, FLIGHTS is a “fine-grained and deeply engaging” collection (Astra Taylor) that is so “mind-bending … so profound and original” (Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz) that you won’t want to miss it.Please join us in person or online on July 5 at 6 pm EDT for a conversation between Joel Whitney and Gabriel Rockhill on radical intellectuals targeted by imperialist states and their intelligence services. The event will also be live streamed on the Critical Theory Workshop YouTube channel.
