A conversation with Richard Seymour

A conversation with Richard Seymour

In the first of our interviews as part of our new series on imperialism and capitalism, we spoke to Richard Seymour. Richard is a writer and broadcaster, and a founding editor of Salvage magazine. His writing can be found in the New York Times, The Guardian, the London Review of Books, the New Statesman, Al Jazeera, and innumerable other publications.

He is the author of The Liberal Defence of Murder (2008), The Meaning of David Cameron (2010), American Insurgents (2012), Unhitched (2013), Against Austerity (2014), Corbyn: The Strange Rebirth of Radical Politics (2016 & 2017) and The Twittering Machine (2019).

In this extensive discussion, we examine the imperial dimensions underlying the relationship between the United States and Israel; the global state system; Islamophobia; and the anti-war movement. We explore a variety of important theoretical concepts about the nature of the world we live in today.
