DESCRIPTION:Often missed in commentary on today’s globalizing economy, workers in the 
 world’s ports can harness their role, by withholding their labor at a 
 strategic choke point, to promote their rights and social justice causes. 
 Peter Cole’s recent book Dockworker Power: Race and Activism in Durban 
 and the San Francisco Bay Area brings such overlooked experiences to light 
 in his comparative study. Dockworkers in each port city drew on 
 longstanding radical traditions to promote racial equality. Moreover, their 
 commitment to black internationalism and leftist politics sparked 
 transnational work stoppages to protest apartheid and authoritarianism. 
 Charmaine Chua, an activist and scholar of logistics, will offer her unique 
 perspective on Cole’s book as well as her own research on this pivotal 
 industry. Stacey Rodgers, an Oakland native and rank-and-file activist in 
 ILWU Local 10 will discuss her union’s history along with her role in the 
 May Day 2015 stop work action against racist police brutality.\n
