Jacobin, Issue 59: Borders

Jacobin is a leading voice of the American left, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture. The print magazine is released quarterly and reaches 50,000 subscribers, in addition to a web audience of over 2,000,000 a month.

With the strap line ‘Reason In Revolt’, Jacobin tackles politics from a firmly leftist standpoint, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture. 
Recent issues of Jacobin have seen the New York-crafted magazine expand; in terms of its physical size, pagination and (by the looks of things) its team, which has also seen a reshuffle. The long standing American and global politics publication now sports a bold new logo. 

This issue of Jacobin takes a hard look at the politics of borders, examining their role in dividing the working class, enforcing economic and geopolitical hierarchies, and sustaining global inequality. Are borders a necessary defence against capital’s race to the bottom, or are they just another tool for splitting the working class and suppressing wages? What would a solidaristic immigration policy look like today, and what would a genuinely internationalist socialism consist of in a world still crisscrossed by national frontiers?
