Shadow Comms Vol.1

Full-sized ⦁ 46 pages

Shadow Comms Vol.1 is a collection of fragmentary meditations on radical left struggles in the South Asian subcontinent, from an ‘american born confused desi’. The project covers themes from the Indian Occupation of Kashmir to the rise of Hindu Fascism, histories of caste and british imperialism, the historic Farmer’s Strike, Naxalite groups, climate shock and garment workers struggle in Bangladesh, and more. This is a more focused regional scope than the first installment of Shadow Comms: it’s personally driven by frustration at neoliberal multicultural counterinsurgency in the wake of the George Floyd Uprising. Instead of approaching this through confessional and expository modes, the project stays with the modes of radical left surrealist traditions. This is crafted as agitprop/confrontation toward more radical forms of internationalism and solidarity among first-gen desis, and anybody alien or otherwise who can find resonance here.
