Onnesha Roychoudhuri - The Marginalized Majority: Claiming Our Power in a Post-Truth America — in conversation with Adele M. Stan

In her dynamic and inspiring primer on resistance, Roychoudhuri speaks from both sharp journalistic engagement and the experiences of an Occupy activist and co-founder of Speech/Act to expose the myths of the old majority and mobilize the new one. In the face of today’s plurality of identities, Roychoudhuri shows, privileged whites are clearly the minority. Using examples from the civil rights era to the Women’s March, and drawing on a range of cultural touchstones, Roychoudhuri argues that diversity itself is and has always been the progressive movement’s greatest strength and she urges us all to use it to change the world.

Roychoudhuri will be joined in conversation by Adele M. Stan, columnist for The American Prospect.
