Jan Haaken talks with Premilla Nadasen about her new book, Care: The Highest State of Capitalism. Premilla Nadasen is professor of history at Barnard College and Columbia University. She has published extensively on the intersection of race, class and gender in reproductive labor—from housework and childcare to forms of nurture required in sustaining social movements. In addition to discussing her book, Professor Nadasen offers an update on student organizing at Columbia and how Palestinian rights activists are responding to the administration's enlistment of the police and crack-downs on campus protests.
