The Amazon workers on Staten Island have won a historic victory—but now they must prepare to strike, and to win support for their strike from the community power structure. Nation strikes correspondent Jane McAlevey explains why, and how.

Also on this week’s show, we have a conversation with Margo Jefferson about her new memoir, Constructing a Nervous System. Her earlier memoir, Negroland, won the National Book Critics Circle Award, and before that she won a Pulitzer Prize for criticism for her work as book and arts critic for The New York Times. She’s also written for The Nation.
