Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Nathalie Etoke, author of BLACK EXISTENTIAL FREEDOM.  Published in 2022, BLACK EXISTENTIAL FREEDOM explores how Black freedom transcends political and economic success and lies in affirming one's humanity in the face of systemic dehumanization. Etoke draws on historical experiences, Black cultural expressions, and philosophical traditions to highlight the inner and collective struggles of people of African descent across the diaspora. She emphasizes that existential agency—making choices even under oppressive conditions—is a form of resistance and a testament to enduring hope. Nathalie Etoke is a Professor of Francophone and Africana Studies at the Graduate Center, CUNY. She specializes in literature and cinema of Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, Black French studies, queer studies in Africa and the Caribbean, and Africana existential thought.

Even before they were recognized as citizens of the United States, Black women understood that the fights for civil and human rights were inseparable. Over the course of two hundred years, they were at the forefront of national and international movements for social change, weaving connections between their own and others' freedom struggles around the world. Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights (W.W. Norton, 2025) tells how, during American history, Black women made humans rights theirs: from worldwide travel and public advocacy in the global Black press to their work for the United Nations, they courageously and effectively moved human rights beyond an esoteric concept to an active, organizing principle. Acclaimed historian Keisha N. Blain tells the story of these women—from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Blain captures human rights thinking and activism from the ground up with Black women at the center, working outside the traditional halls of power. By shouldering intersecting forms of oppression—including racism, sexism, and classism—Black women have long been in a unique position to fight for freedom and dignity. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice. Dr. Keisha Blain is a professor of Africana studies and history at Brown University. She is a Guggenheim, Carnegie, and New America Fellow, and author—most recently of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Until I Am Free.

Arrancou esta manhã, 08 de Setembro, a segunda Cimeira Africana sobre o Clima, em Addis Abeba, na Etiópia. Até quarta-feira, 10 de Setembro, são esperados 45 chefes de Estado e de Governo, assim como mais de 25.000 activistas, representantes empresariais e institucionais. Em entrevista à RFI, José Luís, da Plataforma Juvenil para a Acção Climática de Moçambique, destacou a importância do encontro para criar sinergias, trocar experiências e compreender como países africanos, parceiros internacionais e doadores podem apoiar a juventude no reforço da resiliência climática. As alterações climáticas já custam aos países africanos, em média, entre 2 e 5% do PIB por ano, e, até 2030, até 118 milhões das pessoas mais pobres do continente podem vir a sofrer com secas severas, inundações e ondas de calor extremas, segundo a Organização Meteorológica Mundial. Com os grandes encontros internacionais - Assembleia-Geral da ONU, o G20 e a COP 30 - na linha de mira, África não quer apenas sofrer com a crise climática, mas transformá-la numa oportunidade económica. O continente detém 60% do potencial solar mundial e cerca de 40% do potencial global em energias renováveis, além de possuir no subsolo minerais essenciais à transição ecológica. A participar na II Cimeira Africana sobre o Clima encontra-se José Luís, oficial jurídico e gestor de grupos de trabalho da Plataforma Juvenil para a Acção Climática de Moçambique. Em entrevista à RFI, destacou a importância do encontro para criar sinergias, trocar experiências e compreender como países africanos, parceiros internacionais e doadores podem apoiar a juventude no reforço da resiliência climática. “Moçambique é um país muito vulnerável às mudanças climáticas. São as crianças e os jovens que sofrem mais directamente com ciclones e intempéries, muitas vezes ficam sem acesso à educação, já que as escolas acabam por servir de abrigos temporários. O jovem defendeu que a educação climática deveria integrar as estratégias de desenvolvimento do Governo, pois a falta de conhecimento aumenta os riscos para as populações. África é um dos continentes que mais sofre os efeitos do aquecimento global, apesar de contribuir com apenas 4% das emissões mundiais. Moçambique está entre os cinco países mais vulneráveis do mundo. Para José Luís, este cenário exige maior diplomacia africana e negociações directas com os grandes emissores, como a China e os Estados Unidos, para assegurar financiamento climático. É urgente um financiamento específico para África, que tenha em conta a fragilidade das infra-estruturas e permita preparar o continente para choques climáticos. A Cimeira Africana sobre o Clima antecede a COP 30, a realizar-se no Brasil, em Novembro. Para o representante da Plataforma Juvenil para a Acção Climática de Moçambique, esta cimeira de Addis Abeba é uma oportunidade para o continente definir prioridades e chegar ao palco global com uma posição unificada: África deve negociar como uma só voz, identificando as suas reais necessidades e exigindo responsabilidades dos maiores emissores, mas também assumindo os seus próprios compromissos. A reunião decorre até quarta-feira, 10 de Setembro, e pretende reforçar a preparação do No final desta cimeira, os dirigentes africanos devem assinar uma declaração comum para demonstrar a unidade e os compromissos climáticos perante os investidores e a comunidade internacional.

Em Moçambique, morte de adolescente reacende debate sobre abusos policiais. Governo angolano lança campanha para formar polícias em Direitos Humanos, línguas nacionais e linguagem gestual. África perde anualmente 88 mil milhões de dólares devido a lavagem de dinheiro e corrupção, aponta relatório da União Africana.

Angola pretende canalizar mais de sete milhões de dólares norte-americanos num jogo amigável com a selecção da Argentina, previsto para 11 de Novembro, no âmbito das celebrações dos 50 anos da Independência Nacional. As ONG's angolanas criticam a iniciativa devido ao actual contexto socio-económico que o país atravessa.  Angola pretende canalizar mais de sete milhões de dólares norte-americanos num jogo amistoso com a selecção da Argentina, previsto para 11 de Novembro, no âmbito das celebrações dos 50 anos da Independência Nacional. Os Albicelestes já confirmaram o jogo amigável com os Palancas Negras. Entretanto, quatro ONG´S angolanas criticam a iniciativa e solicitam o cancelamento do jogo, devido ao actual contexto socio-económico que o país atravessa.  Por apenas 90 minutos de jogo, a selecção argentina de futebol pode facturar, em Novembro deste ano, cerca de 11 milhões de dólares numa partida amigável, a decorrer em Luanda, com a selecção angolana de futebol, no dia do jubileu da Independência de Angola. O montante, a ser gasto, está a gerar críticas pela sociedade angolana, que ainda acredita que a Argentina possa desistir do convite da Federação Angolana de Futebol (FAF).  É o caso de Serra Bango, líder da Associação Justiça, Paz e Democracia (AJPD), que diz ser uma vergonha Angola gastar tanto dinheiro num jogo, quando o país se encontra mergulhado numa crise social e económica sem precedentes.  O nosso objectivo é, exactamente, chamar a atenção aos jogadores da selecção argentina, sobretudo ao Messi, porque eles têm uma visibilidade universal. A nossa chamada de atenção é no sentido de que eles se solidarizem com o sofrimento por que passam os cidadãos angolanos: a fome, a miséria, a nudez, o desemprego, falta de educação, de escolas. Nós temos problemas ainda de cólera, paludismo, saneamento básico. Temos problemas de saúde como a febre tifóide, por falta de água potável, por quase todo o país.  E associado a isso, infelizmente, ocorreu neste espaço de tempo aquelas execuções sumárias que já têm ocorrido várias vezes e têm sido denunciadas por vários outros activistas das execuções sumárias que ocorrem em Angola. Face a isso e face ao volume financeiro que se quer despender para esta partida de futebol, não temos certeza se serão apenas os 6 milhões de dólares que poderão ser revertidos para outras situações aqui em Angola. Nós apelamos à solidariedade destes jogadores, no sentido de recusarem esta vinda, este convite para jogarem com Angola. Porque nós temos assistido a nível da África - infelizmente Angola não escapou - preferem desembolsar várias somas de dinheiro para visitas momentâneas de ilustres figuras a nível do topo universal e o povo angolano vive na indigência. A Friends Of Angola, a Pro Bono Angola e a AJPD são subscritoras de uma carta enviada à Federação Argentina de Futebol e a Lionel Messi, cujo teor tem a ver com o cancelamento do jogo.  Florindo Chivucute, presidente da Friends Of Angola, entende que a selecção da Argentina antes de aceitar o convite de Angola, deveria lembrar-se do movimento de protesto de um grupo de mulheres que exigia a localização de seus filhos desaparecidos durante a ditadura militar argentina.  Esta decisão ficará na história, porque os argentinos sabem muito bem qual é as consequências de uma ditadura. É importante aqui lembrar das mães da Praça de Maio que começaram as suas marchas em 1977, que representam um dos maiores símbolos mundiais de resistência contra a violência de Estado e o desaparecimento forçado de pessoas durante a ditadura militar argentina que durou de 1976 a 1983. As mães  da Praça de Maio até hoje continuam a se reunir, todas as quintas-feiras, na Praça de Maio, lembrando ao mundo que não se pode esquecer do passado. É uma luta que simboliza a luta pela memória, pela verdade e pela justiça e é isso que nós esperávamos que a selecção da Argentina fizesse, mas, infelizmente, não fez. Serra Bango esclarece que a sociedade civil angolana não está contra o jogo, mas contra os gastos milionários a serem aplicados pelo Governo. A nossa carta apresenta dados, números que foram pesquisados, quem quiser desmenti-los, que apresentem outros números e outros dados diferentes. Por outro lado, nós não estamos contra uma partida de futebol. Angola pode jogar, aliás, é bom que a celebração dos 50 anos seja feita. Mas aqui há outro elemento. É que o partido no poder e o executivo querem fazer da celebração dos 50 anos só a sua actividade, particularmente não está a envolver os angolanos. Nem os outros movimentos. Mas a independência não foi conquistada só pelo MPLA.  Por outro lado, há um elemento importante. Seria interessante que a selecção de Angola ou a República de Angola, o nosso país, ao invés de convidar a selecção argentina, convidasse quatro selecções africanas, o valor não seria tanto. Estas equipas que eventualmente vão participar no CAN, teriam interesse também em ter jogos de preparação e aproveitariam a selecção de Angola a preparar-se com mais duas ou três equipas.  Para a independência de Angola participaram outros estados africanos. O Congo Democrático, ex-Zaire, o MPLA encontrou guarida no Congo, a FNLA quase que foi fundada no Congo, a UNITA encontrou guarida no Congo… por isso, é que temos angolanos refugiados no Congo e na Zâmbia.  A Zâmbia foi o país que abriu as portas para esses movimentos,  inserindo-se nos vários contactos internacionais, a nível da antiga OUA, actualmente União Africana. Convidem estes países! A selecção da Argentina confirmou a vinda a Luanda. Mas, apesar disso, o responsável da Friends Of Angola ainda acha que os argentinos podem vir a recuar na decisão, em solidariedade com milhares de crianças angolanas sem escolas.  Apesar da equipa nacional da Argentina ter confirmado o jogo, há sinais de que o jogador Lionel Messi não irá participar nesse jogo, que para nós já é um ganho, e espero que não participe mesmo. Fizemos um apelo de novo à selecção da Argentina, para que, de facto, repensem a decisão, ainda vão a tempo, que não manchem a sua dignidade por causa de 6, 11 ou 20 milhões de dólares. Ainda há tempo de eles poderem recuar nesta decisão. Este dinheiro deveria sim ser usado para dar oportunidade a crianças, centenas de crianças, em Luanda, e em todo o país, para ir à escola pela primeira vez. Nós temos centenas de crianças que estão fora do ensino todos os anos, porque, segundo as autoridades locais, não há condições para essas crianças poderem atender a escola pela primeira vez, não há escolas suficientes. Era nesse sentido que nós gostaríamos mais uma vez apelar à equipa da Argentina e ao próprio executivo angolano que não realize este evento, que use este dinheiro para melhorar a vida dos angolanos, porque isto é o que os angolanos querem. Para as organizações da sociedade civil, o Governo, liderado pelo MPLA, quer proporcionar uma operação de charme com jogo, no sentido de branquear a imagem do Presidente aos olhos do mundo, tendo em conta a oposição interna que tem na sua formação política e a falta de soluções concretas e imediatas para o país.

In the United States, the back-to-school season signals more than just a return to “traditional” classrooms—in a moment of open white nationalist warfare on our common humanity, it is also a moment for renewed reflection on origins, connections, and relationships. This fall, a new iteration of that search in the discipline of Africana Studies takes shape with the launch of “The Black University,” an open public course running in parallel with a Howard University class that initiates students into a deeper investigation of the meaning and purpose of Black educational institutions. Rooted in our ongoing project to “Jailbreak the Black University,” the course will center on uncovering the origins of Africana Ways of Knowing, Governance formations, and the search for connected traces of Movement and Memory. As our annual Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) Study Tour draws to a close, we are guided by a central conviction: A search for “foundational Blackness” is essential to understanding and advancing the intellectual and cultural traditions of the African world. This pursuit of “foundational Blackness”—tracing the origins, structures, and living memory of Africana educational and cultural practices—is a critical effort for reimagining and revitalizing Black institutions today.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Entre os dias 5 e 7 de Agosto, Pequim foi o centro do debate sobre o futuro do desenvolvimento global. O Fórum Internacional sobre Objectivos Compreensivos de Desenvolvimento, organizado pela Escola de Economia Aplicada da Universidade de Remnin, reuniu académicos e investigadores de vários continentes para discutir a proposta chinesa de uma nova agenda com horizonte até 2050, que pode substituir os Objectivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) das Nações Unidas, que termina em 2030. Pequim foi, no início deste mês de Agosto, o palco onde se começou a desenhar aquilo que pode ser a próxima grande estratégia global de desenvolvimento. Entre os dias 5 e 7, académicos e investigadores de várias partes do mundo reuniram-se no Fórum Internacional sobre Objectivos Compreensivos de Desenvolvimento. A China apresentou as linhas de uma proposta ambiciosa que pretende suceder aos actuais Objectivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da ONU, que expiram em 2030 e quer fazê-lo inspirando-se na sua trajectória de crescimento. O economista angolano Francisco Miguel Paulo, investigador do Centro de Estudos e Investigação Científica da Universidade Católica de Angola, esteve no evento e não esconde que o momento é estratégico: “Os chineses estão preocupados especialmente com o vazio que os Estados Unidos está a deixar nos assuntos globais, já que os Estados Unidos estão a isolar-se, não quer tomar liderança dos assuntos globais. E sabendo que os objectivos do desenvolvimento das Nações terminam já em 2030, então há uma necessidade de lançar novos objectivos do desenvolvimento”. A proposta, explica, não saiu directamente do governo, mas sim do meio académico chinês. “Os chineses anteciparam-se por meio da Universidade de Remnin, da Escola Aplicada de Economia. Criaram esse draft em Outubro de 2024 do que acham que podia ser a próxima agenda global para o desenvolvimento, inspirando-se na sua própria experiência de desenvolvimento. A China e os países emergentes cresceram muito nos últimos 30 anos e, perante a sua experiência e filosofia, querem propor às Nações Unidas novos objectivos". Uma das críticas feitas aos ODS da ONU é que “têm limitações em resolver conflitos geopolíticos que o mundo agora enfrenta” e “também têm limitações no que diz respeito a como é que a tecnologia deve ser usada, tendo em conta os princípios éticos, e na questão da governação digital”, sublinha o economista. No fórum, dois temas levantaram discussões: conflitos geopolíticos e alterações climáticas. “Os conflitos geopolíticos não são bons para o desenvolvimento. Os chineses têm a história de serem um povo pacífico, dificilmente ou quase não há registo, na história moderna, de se envolverem numa guerra com outras nações. Eles acham que a melhor forma de promover a união entre os povos é ter boas relações económicas e comerciais. Por isso propõem que os conflitos geopolíticos deixem de existir. Agora, como fazer isso, é a grande questão”, sublinha. Sobre o clima, o tom é de urgência: “Os chineses e quase toda a Ásia sentem os efeitos das alterações climáticas” e “recentemente boa parte da China enfrentou inundações graves”. O modelo actual de desenvolvimento, afirma, “não é sustentável”. A crítica também vale para África: “Muitos países africanos querem alcançar o desenvolvimento e a industrialização, mas não queremos cometer os mesmos erros, baseando-nos em combustíveis fósseis. O facto de a África poluir menos não significa que tenha direito de poluir mais. É importante que os países desenvolvidos aceitem ceder tecnologias mais verdes e mais ecológicas”. O impacto para África, e para Angola em particular, pode ser significativo. Francisco Miguel Paulo recorda que “a China tem relações com todos os países do mundo e com os 54 países africanos” e que “há um fórum China-África que acontece todos os anos entre o Presidente chinês e os Presidentes ou primeiros-ministros das nações africanas”. Angola, diz, “pode beneficiar-se muito” e lembra: “Quando a paz chegou em 2002, o Ocidente não deu a ajuda que Angola precisava. A China deu, concedeu créditos e mais créditos para a reconstrução”. O economista deixa um aviso: “Negociar com a China não é fácil, é um gigante. Na negociação bilateral, os países africanos saem fragilizados. É importante que esta cooperação seja feita a nível dos blocos regionais, como a SADC ou a União Africana, para que as infra-estruturas que a China constrói em África sejam interconectáveis, como caminhos-de-ferro, estradas e portos. Se os africanos falarem a uma única voz, será muito mais fácil”, defende. O debate partiu de uma proposta universitária e, para o economista, é uma das suas maiores virtudes: “Esta agenda saiu de uma universidade, não é uma agenda do governo chinês per si. A Universidade de Remnin tem a melhor escola de economia da China e muitos economistas que trabalham no governo ou em multinacionais formaram-se lá. Isto mostra a importância das universidades”. Francisco Miguel Paulo lembra que “os governos africanos, e o governo angolano em particular, dão pouca importância à universidade. Boa parte dos programas de desenvolvimento que Angola tem, como o Plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento, não contou com universidades nacionais na sua elaboração. As consultorias vêm sobretudo de empresas estrangeiras. As universidades estão aí para reflectir os problemas que os países enfrentam e dar soluções tecnológicas, científicas e políticas”, concluiu.

Our Annual Nile Valley study tour continues the process of strengthening the work of Africana Studies as a tool for jailbreaking the university and renewing deeper traditions of community-centered education. Inspired by a 1996 exchange between Greg Kimathi Carr and Jacob Carruthers—where Carruthers urged embracing language and concepts from Mdw Ntr over attempting to repurpose European concepts as a form of Africana hermeneutics—this week's reflections link Carruthers' notion of ancient Kemet's governance-through-education process to the “Black University” as a concept. Against a Social Structure hellbent on bending collective memory to serve exclusion, fear, and hatred, this annual study tour affirms education as the highest expression of self-determined nationhood, peoplehood, and statehood. This fall, Carr will teach The Black University in a public format, constructing a syllabus open to all, to explore African people's uncompromising commitment to communal intellectual life, rooted in ancestral guidance and seeking to inspire others to join in liberating knowledge from institutional restraints.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

His work examines new and alternative religious movements, secularism, and the intersections of religion, politics, and sexuality. He holds a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Pretoria, where his thesis explored sex magick as post-theistic spirituality across Eastern, Western, and African esotericism. He also holds an MDiv (focused on Systematic & Historical Theology) and BDiv (focused on Dogmatics & Christian Ethics).As an advocate for the normalisation and destigmatisation of secularism, alternative religions, and marginalised spiritualities, Tristán engages in public education, media commentary, and community support. His insights have been featured in podcasts, news media, and academic conferences worldwide.He is also the founder of Alterity Counselling, a virtual counselling practice supporting individuals from diverse spiritual and non-religious backgrounds across the globe. His non-profit advocacy with the South African Pagan Rights Alliance (SAPRA)—as an executive member, spokesperson, and interfaith officer—along with his community paralegal work, informs his approach to research, activism, and counselling. In this interview, Tristán discusses portions of his captivating dissertation, titled, “Secret self-knowledge: considering sex magick as post-theistic spirituality in Eastern, Western, and African Esotericism.” Highlights of this engaging discussion include:-        Tristán's ideas about a ‘post-theistic spiritual practice,' that distances itself from an external deity and moves toward a non-traditional or non-religious spirituality, with creativity in terms of co-existence between the divine and the individual;-        The underrepresentation of Eastern and African regions with regard to esotericism;-        The negativity surrounding sexuality and the expression of it, including taboos and fetishes (drawing for example on Foucault);-        The inclusion of Conspirituality in this discourse, and how it relates to the notion of the Self;-        Examples of Eastern esoteric sexual practices and what these offer with regard to knowledge of the Self;-        The issue of colonialism and slavery as it relates to Africana esoteric religions;-        How sexuality and the Self are understood in both African Traditional Religion and the Sangoma Tradition;-        The syncretic expressions of the African diaspora as found in African-American Conjure or Supernaturalism;-        The notion of ubuntu, that states a person is a person because of other people;-        His conclusions after all of his research and his future endeavors.PROGRAM NOTESDissertation: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386987710_Secret_self-knowledge_considering_sex_magick_as_post-theistic_spirituality_in_Eastern_Western_and_African_Esotericism

Te invitamos a pensarnos de una manera diferente echando un rápido vistazo a la rica y muy diversa Historia Africana. Hoy en día el llamado “sur global” se contrapone al norte por experiencias históricas similares que probablemente sólo América Latina, África y el Sudeste Asiático comparten. Nuestros pueblos pueden comprenderse más a sí mismos al escuchar las historias de los demás, conociendo otras luchas por conquistar la libertad. En esta entrega te ofrecemos un análisis sobre cómo funcionó el sistema global de la colonia, la importancia de las narrativas y el dominio mental, y el poder de establecer límites políticos en un mapa. Recopilando acontecimientos estelares del siglo XIX y el siglo XX, recordamos experiencias africanas de descolonización, como la de Etiopía y Mussolini, la Francia de Vichy durante la ocupación nazi, Kenia y los Mao Mao, el panarabismo y la nacionalización del canal del Suez, la revolución de los claveles en Portugal, y el caso sudafricano liderado por Mandela. Todo esto con la esperanza de que, al revisitar el pasado africano, construyamos un mejor futuro. Notas del episodio  Este episodio fue traído a ustedes gracias a Boston Scientific Si quieres conocer más detalles sobre las historias aquí contadas, te recomendamos consultar el libro de Diana Uribe “África, nuestra tercera raíz”, una investigación profunda sobre la configuración del continente africano y su diáspora en Colombia. Si estás interesado en comprender más a fondo cómo funciona la distinción entre civilización y barbarie, visita el libro “Orientalismo” de Edward W. Said, un clásico histórico que se ocupa de analizar la configuración de la mirada hegemónica occidental sobre otros pueblos.  Si lo que buscas es analizar cómo el poder de los imperios europeos continuaron influenciando las realidades africanas después de sus procesos de descolonización, te sugerimos revisar el texto conceptual del historiador camerunés Achille Mbembe, “Necropolítica”. Si quieres indagar sobre cómo las naciones africanas se han ocupado durante las últimas décadas en descolonizar sus culturas, te invitamos a escuchar la charla “El peligro de una sola historia” ofrecida por la literata nigeriana Chimamanda Adichie. Si quieres leer una buena novela de ficción africana que de cuenta de las realidades de sus pueblos, te recomendamos “Todo se desmorona” de Chinua Achebe.

In Southwest Atlanta, students as young as five years old are learning how to imagine a future well beyond what they can see. It’s happening at the OURCHIVES Summer Camp at Imhotep Academy. Recently, Rose Scott and the “Closer Look” team visited the campus. Scott talked with students, parents and cofounders Melek Dexter and Dr. Assata Moore. They discussed the goal of the 8-week camp and explained how they are teaching subjects such as calculus, critical thinking, “top secret” history – that’s grounded in confidence, imagination and African epistemology. Plus, Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died at 54. The multi-talented superstar is best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on "The Cosby Show." Warner, an Emmy-nominated actor and Grammy award-winning poet, is being remembered as a gifted artist. Rose talks with Nsenga Burton — an award-winning journalist, entrepreneur and editor-in-chief of The Burton Wire — and Dr. Maurice Hobson, an author, historian and professor of Africana studies and history at Georgia State University. They reflect on Warner’s creative body of work, his life and his legacy. Burton also shares details about her recently published op-ed that focuses on Warner’s life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A rethinking of African American religious history that focuses on the development and evolution of Africana spiritual traditions in Jim Crow New Orleans. When Zora Neale Hurston traveled to New Orleans, she encountered a religious underworld, a beautiful anarchy of spiritual life. In Underworld Work, Ahmad Greene-Hayes follows Hurston on a journey through the rich tapestry of Black religious expression from emancipation through Jim Crow. He looks within and beyond the church to recover the diverse leadership of migrants, healers, dissidents, and queer people who transformed their marginalized homes, bars, and street corners into sacred space. Greene-Hayes shows how, while enclosed within an antiblack world, these outcasts embraced Africana esotericisms--ancestral veneration, faith healing, spiritualized sex work, and more--to conjure a connection to freer worlds past and yet to come. In recovering these spiritual innovations, Underworld Work celebrates the resilience and creativity of Africana religions. Learn more about your ad choices.

®La preparazione artigianale del sapone è una tradizione di lunga data in Sierra Leone. Ad inizio anni Novanta viene abbandonata la vecchia ricetta che prevedeva l'utilizzo di ingredienti naturali in favore dell'utilizzo della soda caustica. Nasce in quel momento l'Africana Soap che allo stato liquido si presenta trasparente come l'acqua e in quello solido, sotto forma di polvere bianca, esattamente uguale a zucchero e sale. La possibilità di essere confuso è un rischio concreto che progressivamente diviene una vera e propria piaga sociale. Ad oggi, sono migliaia le persone che ingerendo l'Africana Soap, non possono più alimentarsi normalmente per il resto della vita. Soprattutto i piccoli pazienti in età neonatale e infantile, che vengono chiamati “bambini soda”. Per continuare a mangiare, nel migliore dei casi sono costretti a continue dilatazioni dell'esofago per via endoscopica, nel peggiore e più frequente, possono alimentarsi unicamente con un tubo da gastrostomia che si immette direttamente nello stomaco. L'unico luogo dell'intero paese dove è possibile intervenire è l'ospedale di Emergency di Goderich, centro nazionale di riferimento sia per le ustioni all'esofago causate dall'ingestione di soda caustica che per la traumatologia. Le storie dell'Africana Soap dalla realizzazione alla vendita, dalla cura all'assistenza, dallo stigma della disabilità fino ad una geniale resilienza, sono raccontate da donne e uomini sia fuori che dentro il nosocomio presente in Sierra Leone dal 2001.Prima emissione: 23 aprile 2025

This week, Zachary hosts a conversation with Jeremi and Dr. Peniel Joseph about his new book, Freedom Season, which describes the pivotal significance of 1963 in the Civil Rights Movement, highlighting key events such as the Birmingham protests, the March on Washington, the Birmingham church bombing, and the assassination of JFK. This week, instead of the usual poem, we set the scene with an audio excerpt of Martin Luther King Jr. reading from his "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Peniel Joseph holds a joint professorship appointment at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the History Department in the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin. He is also the founding director of the LBJ School's Center for the Study of Race and Democracy. His career focus has been on “Black Power Studies,” which encompasses interdisciplinary fields such as Africana studies, law and society, women's and ethnic studies, and political science. Prior to joining the UT faculty, Joseph was a professor at Tufts University, where he founded the school's Center for the Study of Race and Democracy to promote engaged research and scholarship focused on the ways issues of race and democracy affect people's lives. In addition to being a frequent commentator on issues of race, democracy and civil rights, Joseph wrote the award-winning books “Waiting ‘Til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America, “Dark Days, Bright Nights: From Black Power to Barack Obama," and “Stokely: A Life" as well as “The Black Power Movement: Rethinking the Civil Rights-Black Power Era” and “Neighborhood Rebels: Black Power at the Local Level.”" His most recent book is "Freedom Season: How 1963 Transformed America's Civil Rights Revolution."

It is common to refer to philosophy as "a series of footnotes to Plato." But in the original quote, Alfred North Whitehead was more careful: he limited his characterization to "the European philosophical tradition." There are other traditions, both ancient and ongoing: Chinese philosophy, Indian philosophy, Africana philosophy, and various indigenous philosophies. For the most part, these do not get nearly as much attention in European and American schools as the European tradition does. Bryan Van Norden argues for expanding philosophy's geographical scope, to the benefit of philosophy in general.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/06/23/319-bryan-van-norden-on-philosophy-from-the-rest-of-the-world/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Bryan Van Norden received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Stanford University. He is currently James Monroe Taylor Chair in Philosophy at Vassar College and Chair Professor in the School of Philosophy at Wuhan University.

In 1849, the Mary Ann Shadd Cary had not yet become one of the first Black woman newspaper editors in North America. She was decades away from being admitted to Howard University's Law School and becoming the first Black woman to so enroll in the United States. She had not yet begun to lobby for women's right to vote, and she had not yet emigrated to Canada, where she would rise to prominence as a formidable abolitionist and emigrationist. Though many years would pass before she made a name for herself as a gifted writer, editor, lecturer, educator, lawyer, and suffragist, in 1849, Mary Ann Shadd Cary was already certain of one thing: “We should do more, and talk less.” Mary Ann Shadd Cary: Essential Writings of a Nineteenth-Century Black Radical Feminist (Oxford Univeristy Press, 2023) includes letters, newspaper articles, organizational records, and never-before-published handwritten notes and essay drafts that illustrate how Shadd Cary participated in major Africana philosophical debates during the nineteenth century. Racial uplift, women's rights, emigration, citizenship and economic self-determination for Black people in general and Black women in particular, were all subjects of Shadd Cary's writings and activism throughout her lifetime, shaping Black radical theory and praxis. She is one of many nineteenth-century Black women theorists whose intellectual contributions are often overlooked. By interrogating Shadd Cary's Black radical ethic of care, this book reveals the philosophies that have shaped Black women's centuries-long struggle for rights and freedom. Nneka D. Dennie is Assistant Professor of History, core faculty in Africana Studies, and affiliate faculty in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Washington and Lee University. She is also co-founder and president of the Black Women's Studies Association. Dr. Dennie's research examines Black feminism and Black intellectual thought with an emphasis on nineteenth-century African American women thinkers. Her work has been published in Palimpsest: A Journal on Women, Gender, and the Black International; Feminist Studies; Atlantic Studies: Global Currents; The Routledge Companion to Black Women's Social and Cultural Histories; The Oxford Handbook of W.E.B. Du Bois, and more. You can find the host, Sullivan Summer, online, on Instagram, and at Substack, where she and Dr. Dennie continue their conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Narrating Irish Female Development, 1916-2018 (Edinburgh UP, 2024) studies narratives of Irish female and feminized development, arguing that these postmodern  narratives present Irish female maturation as disordered and often deliberately disorderly. The first full-length study of the Irish female  coming of age story, the book develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology, derived from the belated oedipalization of Joyce's bildungsheld, to read these stories. This study argues that all Irish maturation stories are shaped by the uneven and belated maturation story  of the Irish republic itself, which took as its avatar the Irish woman,  whose citizenship in that republic was unrealized, as indeed was her citizenship in an Irish republic of letters. Dougherty takes the writing  of Irish women as seriously as other critics have taken Joyce's work. Discusses texts by James Joyce, John McGahern, Hannah Lynch, Kate O'Brien, Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne, Mary Colum, Elizabeth Bowen, Edna O'Brien, Dervla Murphy, Clare Boylan, Nuala O'Faolain, Eavan Boland, Anne Enright, Claire Keegan, Eimear McBride, Éilís ní Dhuibhne, Melatu Uche Okorie, and Soula Emmanuel Examines the form, narration, and content of fictional, non-fictional, and national narratives Develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology Synthesizes historical, sociojuridical, feminist, post-colonial, and literary historical narratives of Irish development Jane Elizabeth Dougherty is Professor in the School of Literature, Writing and Digital Humanities and affiliate faculty in the School of Africana and Multicultural Studies at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

The first full-length study of the Irish female  coming of age story, the book develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology, derived from the belated oedipalization of Joyce's bildungsheld, to read these stories. This study argues that all Irish maturation stories are shaped by the uneven and belated maturation story  of the Irish republic itself, which took as its avatar the Irish woman,  whose citizenship in that republic was unrealized, as indeed was her citizenship in an Irish republic of letters. Dougherty takes the writing  of Irish women as seriously as other critics have taken Joyce's work. Discusses texts by James Joyce, John McGahern, Hannah Lynch, Kate O'Brien, Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne, Mary Colum, Elizabeth Bowen, Edna O'Brien, Dervla Murphy, Clare Boylan, Nuala O'Faolain, Eavan Boland, Anne Enright, Claire Keegan, Eimear McBride, Éilís ní Dhuibhne, Melatu Uche Okorie, and Soula Emmanuel Examines the form, narration, and content of fictional, non-fictional, and national narratives Develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology Synthesizes historical, sociojuridical, feminist, post-colonial, and literary historical narratives of Irish development Jane Elizabeth Dougherty is Professor in the School of Literature, Writing and Digital Humanities and affiliate faculty in the School of Africana and Multicultural Studies at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Helen Penet is a lecturer in English and Irish Studies at Université de Lille (France). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The fight for multicultural education and antiracist curricula is not new, as evidenced by the courageous actions of Brooklyn College students and faculty in the 1960s and 1970s, who paved the way for today's struggles against book banning and right-wing pushback.This show is made possible by you!  To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateStay informed and engaged!

In these times it is crucial to reflect on the state of education. From right-wing attacks on higher education, pushback against critical thinking and comprehensive history to challenges in class size, teacher compensation, book bannings and the very foundation of quality public education — our conversation aims to shed light on the progress we've made toward multicultural education and the paths we've taken to get here including student demonstrations that led to incarceration of students and teachers exercising their first amendment rights back then in the late 1960's to 1970's.

The killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor sparked global protests and declarations for racial justice and equity. Corporations pledged their support to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and the Black Lives Matter philosophy. For today’s edition of Feedback Friday on “Closer Look,” Rose is asking guests and listeners, where are we now as a nation, five years later? Guests include: Nsenga Burton, an award-winning journalist and entrepreneur, and the editor-in-chief of The Burton Wire Dr. Maurice Hobson, an author, historian and Africana studies and history professor at Georgia State UniversitySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Secretary of State Shirley Weber had been a lifelong educator. For 40 years she had been a professor at San Diego State University, having been named a professor emerita of Africana studies and served as the president of the National Council for Black Studies. And then, in the fall of 2011, Weber decided to run for office. Secretary Weber served first in the California State Assembly for nearly a decade, before Governor Gavin Newsom appointed her to the position of secretary of state of California. So, why did a career educator decide to run for office? Secretary Weber, in conversation with Creating Citizens' Griffith Swidler, talks to an audience of Sacramento high school students about her path into politics. Weber details her upbringing, the people who influenced her, and how young people can lead us toward a less polarized America. This program is part of  Commonwealth Club World Affairs' civics education initiative, Creating Citizens. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The loss of land for Black Americans started with the government's betrayal of its “40 acres” promise to formerly enslaved people—and it has continued over decades. Today, researchers are unearthing the details of Black land loss long after emancipation. “They lost land due to racial intimidation, where they were forced off their land (to) take flight in the middle of the night and resettle someplace else,” said Karcheik Sims-Alvarado, an assistant professor of Africana studies at Morehouse College. “They lost it through overtaxation. They lost it through eminent domain…There's all these different ways that African Americans acquired and lost land.”It's an examination of American history happening at the state, city, even county level as local government task forces are on truth-finding missions. Across the country, government officials ask: Can we repair a wealth gap for Black Americans that is rooted in slavery? And how?This week on Reveal, in honor of Black History Month, we explore the long-delayed fight for reparations.This is an update of an episode that originally aired in June 2024.
