Requirements: .PDF reader, 10.5 MB
Overview: Jacobin is a leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture. The print magazine is released quarterly and reaches 60,000 subscribers, in addition to a web audience of over 2,000,000 a month.
This issue of Jacobin takes a hard look at the politics of borders, examining their role in dividing the working class, enforcing economic and geopolitical hierarchies, and sustaining global inequality. Are borders a necessary defense against capital’s race to the bottom, or are they just another tool for splitting the working class and suppressing wages? What would a solidaristic immigration policy look like today, and what would a genuinely internationalist socialism consist of in a world still crisscrossed by national frontiers?
