Interview with Kevin Das, Senior Technical Consultant of Frontier Minerals Ltd.Recording date: 8th April 2025New Frontier Minerals, dual-listed on the London and Australian Stock Exchanges, is strategically positioning itself in Australia's critical minerals sector with a focused approach to exploration and development. The company is advancing two key projects: the Harts Range project near Alice Springs and a copper development in Northwest Queensland.The Harts Range project has generated significant interest following recent airborne geophysical surveys that identified 46 potential targets, exceeding management expectations. The company's exploration focus centers on high-value heavy rare earth elements, particularly dysprosium and terbium, which are primarily sourced from China and are essential for defense applications and electric vehicles."What we have at Harts Range which makes it different to all the other rare earth projects is we have their high value heavy rare earths," explains Kevin Das, Senior Technical Consultant for New Frontier Minerals. "These high value heavy rare earths can only be found really in China and there's probably another handful of companies around the world that have these valuable and highly critical minerals."The company has identified two promising prospects at Harts Range, named "Bobs" and "Cusp," where surface sampling has yielded consistently high grades. An interesting feature of the mineralization is that rare earths, uranium, and niobium occur together, creating efficiency in exploration.Simultaneously, New Frontier is advancing its copper project in Northwest Queensland's Mount Isa region. The project includes the "Big One" deposit, containing approximately 2.2 million tons of copper at 1.1% grade. In January, the company signed an MOU with Austral Resources to potentially process ore at their nearby Mount Kelly facility, creating a pathway to production without substantial capital investment."That gives us a real clear pathway to production because we don't have to go to markets to raise $100 million to build a processing facility," Das notes.To fund its exploration activities, New Frontier has divested three non-core assets over the past six months, generating sufficient working capital for planned activities. This approach demonstrates capital discipline and allows the company to focus on its most promising assets without immediate dilution to shareholders.Near-term plans include validating targets at Harts Range, conducting trial processing of copper stockpiles, and drilling at Harts Range later this year. The company's presence in a region attracting major mining companies like Glencore, Anglo America, Rio Tinto, and FMG also creates potential for future M&A activity.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

I first came across 'White Shift' 4 years ago and recognised it immediately as a very powerful book on this subject. Eric Kaufmann is the author and joins us to give us some snapshots from it. The book starts by setting out the history of over a century of demographic change and we discuss politics by looking at the rise of populism throughout the European and US political scene. Brexit, Trump and the upcoming European Parliament elections are past and future examples of how mass immigration is affecting public opinion. We look at how the left desperately try to call out every opposing view as evidence of racism before pondering the question, are we already seeing White Flight from cities across the West and what does this mean for the future? Eric Kaufmann is originally from Vancouver, British Columbia and now resides here in the UK and is Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham, and Director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science. He specialises in nationalism, the cultural left and political demography. His writing explores populism, immigration, and cultural conflict. He is the author of Whiteshift: Immigration, Populism and the Future of White Majorities. He has also written Changing Places: mapping the white British response to ethnic change, Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth: demography and politics in the twenty-first century, The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America: the decline of dominant ethnicity in the United States and two other books.

Curator Florence Ostende visualises how violence against African Americans has been perpetuated throughout history, and challenged with contemporary art, by developing Carrie Mae Weems' radical photographic practice from the 1980s to now, and how she reframes whiteness, and ‘Anglo-America', in relation to Black subjects. Carrie Mae Weems is one of the most influential contemporary US artists, and interest in her films, installations, and performance artworks is rising in Europe too. From her first UK exhibition with Autograph, founded in Brixton to support Black photographers, Weems returns to London with her largest UK exhibition to date, spanning three decades of her multidisciplinary practice, and over 300 years of American history. Curator Florence Ostende talks about how her ‘direct intervention' in daguerreotypes taken from the Harvard Museum archives - with colour, tints, and text - challenges their use in perpetuating systemic racism, inequality, and violence, whilst blurring the boundaries between past and present to reveal how colonial stereotypes still linger today. Alongside these ‘appropriated photographs', she details the artist as art historian - and her bid to expose the Black Abstract Expressionist painters hidden in plain sight. Beyond her iconic Kitchen Table (1990) series, we see Weems' political activism, with works addressing women's position in domestic spaces and Marxism, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and the murder of George Floyd. Ostende reveals why Weems literally puts the muse in Museums, the complex relationship between artist and institution, and what it was like to work with the artist - and ‘win over' the Barbican's brutalist architecture. Carrie Mae Weems: Reflections for Now runs at the Barbican in London until 3 September 2023. For more, you can read my article.

ACTA's Steve McGuire sits down with Eric Kaufmann, Professor of Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London. He is the author of several books, including Whiteshift: Immigration, Populism and the Future of White Majorities; Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth; The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America; and The Orange Order. He is co-editor, among others, of Political Demography and editor of Rethinking Ethnicity: Majority Groups and Dominant Minorities. He has also written for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Times of London, Newsweek, National Review, New Statesman, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal and other outlets.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, when Shinobu Kitayama was studying psychology at Kyoto University, Cognitive Dissonance Theory and Attribution Theory were “really hot topics” that he found “intellectually interesting” ways of describing human behavior. “But when I came here [to the University of Michigan] and looked at my graduate students, colleagues, and friends, I realized that those ideas are really active elements of their mind in a way they were not to me as Japanese individual.” He continues, “obviously there are many cultural shocks – for example, I felt hesitant in speaking up in graduate seminar, but I got the impression that American friends end up saying a lot of things seemingly without thinking anything. That's the kind of experience that made me feel that something more profound might be going on in terms of culture and its influence on psychological processes.” His own perch, he explains in this Social Science Bites podcast, helped focus his personal research into comparing people from East Asia, such as Japan, China, and the Philippines, with people in America. His research ranges from simple exercises involving redrawing a line within a box to brain-scanning technology (“culture gets under the skin,” he jokes before adding, “I find neuroscience indispensable”) and examinations of subsistence agriculture. The Robert B. Zajonc Collegiate Professor of Psychology at Michigan since 2011 now runs the Culture & Cognition Lab at the school's Psychology Department. He starts his conversation with interviewer David Edmonds offering a description of a prominent cultural difference between East Asia and Anglo-America - the idea of ‘independence' and ‘interdependence.' “In some cultures, particularly in Western traditions, ‘self' is believed to be the independent entity that is composed of internal attributes, maybe your attitudes, maybe your personality traits and aspirations, which guide your behavior. Social relationships come out of those individual preferences. “In many other cultures, the conception of the person is much more social and relational. There's a fundamental belief that humans are humans because they are connected to formal social relationships.” Kitayama offers some examples of these differences. “Americans tend to believe that what you hear somebody say must be what this person believes. If somebody says ‘yes,' he must mean yes. But in many countries, ‘yes' and ‘no' carry very different meanings, depending on the context.” While someone from, say, the West may realize this on an intellectual level, in practice they often forget and assume a yes, means, well, yes. “We found this fundamental attribution error,” he concludes, “is much less, and often even nonexistent, in East Asian, and particularly Japanese, contexts.” Or take happiness. “Oftentimes, we believe that happiness is happiness. If Americans are happy, it must be in the way that Japanese are happy. We try to challenge this conception to see what people might mean when they claim they are happy. One easy way to do this is to ask people to write down what they mean by happiness, reasons for happiness, conditions in which happiness happens. Core elements of happiness, like elation, relaxation, feeling of excitement, are fairly common between U.S. and Japan.” But what leads to those states are quite different, with Japanese respondents often citing social harmony while Americans cite personal achievement. In the interview, Kitayama touches on why these differences might have arisen, including one idea that the cultivation of mainstay grains across thousands of years helped create the conditions that led to the cultural traits. The Asian staple of rice, for example, requires a more collective effort – “tight social coordination,” as Kitayama puts it -- to raise and harvest. Meanwhile, the Western staple of wheat requires less collaboration. These underlying agrarian requirements for supremely important foodstuffs may in turn, he says, “promote very different ideologies and social structures and institutions which then lay the ground for contemporary culture.” Kitayama has published widely in English and in Japanese and served as editor of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology: Attitudes and Social Cognition and the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. He was a fellow of the Center for Advanced Studies of Behavioral Science at Stanford in 1995 and in 2007, a Guggenheim Fellow in 2010, inducted as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2012, and served as president of the Association for Psychological Science in 2020.
The Book Report Series: Highlights of some very great books about American history. A list of books everyone should have in their libraries. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, Martin Luther King outlined a dream of an America where people would not be judged by the color of their skin. That dream has yet to be realized, but some three centuries ago it was a reality. Back then, neither social practice nor law recognized any special privileges in connection with being white. But by the early decades of the eighteenth century, that had all changed. Racial oppression became the norm in the plantation colonies, and African Americans suffered under its yoke for more than two hundred years. In Volume 2 of The Invention of the White Race, Theodore Allen explores the transformation that turned African bond-laborers into slaves and segregated them from their fellow proletarians of European origin. In response to labor unrest, where solidarities were not determined by skin color, the plantation bourgeoise sought to construct a buffer of poor whites, whose new racial identity would protect them from the enslavement visited upon African Americans. This was the invention of the white race, an act of cruel ingenuity that haunts America to this day. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jamaine-farmer-bey/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jamaine-farmer-bey/support

He talks about First Mode and what they are doing to help decarbonise the mining industry, specifically looking at machinery, plant and energy consumption on mine sites. KEY TAKEAWAYS Oil and gas is needed, but we also need to stop using it eventually, and so a transition must begin and take place in an orderly fashion is the planet is to survive. We can definitely decarbonise and innovate in the mining space, but it will take a new way of thinking and a brave way of exploring change. A new generation of working requires an entirely holistic way of looking at the problem. It's not enough to change the vehicles, we also need to revolutionise the entire mining infrastructure. BEST MOMENTS 'In the oil and gas space - there needs to be a transition' 'They were looking someone who can bring different thinking to mining' 'What we're trying to do is get the same level of performance with new gen' VALUABLE RESOURCES Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes Website: www.firstmode.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/firstmode/ Twitter: @firstmodehq or https://twitter.com/FirstModeHQ Instagram: @firstmodehq or https://www.instagram.com/firstmodehq/ Email: hello@firstmode.com Julian Soles LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julian-soles/ VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3 ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

Hello Interactors,This post is part three of my three week experiment. I’ve divided my topic into three parts each taking a bit less time for you to read or listen to. They each can stand on their own, but hopefully come together to form a bigger picture. Please let me know what you think.Maps are such a big part of our daily lives that it’s easy to let them wash over us. But they’re also very powerful forms of communication that require our attention and scrutiny. If we don’t, we run the risk of being hypnotized and even deluded.As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…THE GIPPER AND CAP MAKE A MAPOn the top of the geography building at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) was a high security floor the CIA helped to fund…or so I heard. I never set foot in there, but I know both the CIA and the FBI routinely recruited geography students when I was there in the late 80s. They still do. The geography department was, and still is, buzzing with research in cartography, satellite imaging, and Geographic Information Science (GIS). I remember learning how to detect a hidden nuclear missile silo camouflaged in the Russian landscape using stereoscopic glasses pointed at two LANDSAT images produced from orbiting satellites. Special imaging software was also being developed at the university to better filter and detect these patterns, and more, in remote sensing imagery.But the kind of mapping I was most interested in was thematic mapping. I was mostly interested in computer graphics and animation, but I could also see the allure of bending cartography to serve creative means. For my senior project I converted a digital USGS topographic map of Santa Barbara into a 3D model so I could fly a camera over the terrain as a logo rose from behind the foothills. It was used as an intro animation for videos made for the newly formed National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA). This was, after all, the real focus of the geography department – and the U.S. government.The influential chief geographer for the U.S. State Department from the 1920s through the 1940s, Samuel Whittemore Boggs, had settled on this cartographic dichotomy I was experiencing as a student. He surmised maps could be either rhetorical tools of delusion and propaganda (like fancy 3D animated video bumpers) or scientific instruments of knowledge and understanding (like Geographical Information Science). These two sides of a single coin were present 40-odd years later as I was studying geography at UCSB.By the time I was studying cartography as an undergrad the Cold War was well embedded into the culture of all Americans, including institutions and universities. Some of my youngest memories as a kid were nuclear fallout drills at school. They weren’t all that different from tornado drills common to Iowa kids, but the films they showed us of the effects of nuclear blasts made me wish tornados were our only worry.I also have memories of propaganda making its way into our school work as well. I remember math problems that compared missile lengthy between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. – a nod to male anatomical one-upmanship. Our culture was infused with geopolitical agendas and competitions pitting Americans against Soviets. I recall the ‘Miracle on Ice’ when the U.S. hockey team unexpectedly beat the U.S.S.R. in the 1980 Olympics. That was when the U-S-A chant was popularized. I was 15 and remember having a basketball game that day. The gym was electric with pride.We all lived under constant fear and threat that the Soviet government could launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at any minute, so anything that felt like a victory was celebrated. The fear was all well communicated and orchestrated using cartohypnotic techniques Boggs had warned of. This fear mongering wasn’t unique to the United States. University of Richmond professor Timothy Barney writes, “An ominous arrow-filled 1970 map forecasts the logistics of a Greece and Turkey invasion, while another encircles Denmark and Northern Europe. The secret Warsaw Pact exercise ‘Seven Days Over the River Rhine’ from 1979 used cartography extensively to chart, complete with red mushroom clouds strewn about the continent, an all-too probable nuclear clash between Cold War powers.”The United States has a long history and practice of thematic political cartography dating back to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. This inspired the formation of a thematic mapping division in the State Department. After World War II, in concert with the Department of Defense, Cold War propaganda elevated to a new level — including in cartography. It was cartohypnosis through government sponsored osmosis that created widespread prognosis of Soviet-American neurosis.When Ronald Reagan became president in 1980, he had campaigned on increased military spending to ward off what he believed to be encroaching communism and military threat from the U.S.S.R. Reagan’s Secretary of Defense was his California friend, businessman, and politician Casper Weinberger, or ‘Cap’ as he was called. Weinberger shared the same fear Reagan did over evidence that cash-starved Russia was pouring much of their GDP into military spending.To convince the American public that Reagan’s so-called ‘small government’ required ‘big spending’ on defense, he pulled a page from the 1918 State Department assembling a team of researchers, artists, illustrators, and cartographers to build his own ‘Inquiry’ into Soviet military weaponry and strategies. They produced a 100-page pamphlet called ‘Soviet Military Power’ out of the U.S. Defense Department that was intended to ‘alert’ the public to the ‘threat’ of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Armed Forces. The first publications were distributed in 1981 across the country and were sold in Post Offices for $6.50 or $20 today. These were printed every year from 1981 to 1991 as what some government officials refer to as ‘public diplomacy’. However, scholars use ‘public diplomacy’ and ‘propaganda’ interchangeably because it’s often hard to discern which is which.The fact is, these publications worked. They were a perfect compliment to Reagan’s public speeches that routinely referred to his Reagan Doctrine which was “to defy Soviet-supported aggression and secure rights which have been ours from birth.” This included funding overt and covert anti-communist resistance groups around the world – many of which illegally used acts of terror.The Iran–Contra affair provided ample evidence of the malicious intents and actions behind Reagan’s Doctrine – funneling money from Iranian missile sales to fund militant guerilla fighters overthrowing the government in Nicaragua. Fourteen people in Reagan’s administration were indicted. Weinberger was indicted on five felony charges including accusations he lied to Congress and obstruction of investigation. Another four charges were brought against him but his cases were never tried. He was pardoned by then President George H. W. Bush, Reagan’s former Vice President.Many of these sovereign nations the United States involved themselves in were seeking independence from reliance on foreign powers like the U.S. and the Soviet Union. However, because their forms of government often leaned toward social and communal inspired governments, Reagan assumed they’d fall under the control of the communist Soviet Union. It also meant Western corporations could lose out to state sponsored corporations.The U.S. State Department had been attempting to spread Western economic and political propaganda around the world from at least the 1950s. President Truman’s Point Four Program (funded by the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations) and the Chicago Boys (programs involving neoliberal University of Chicago economists, including Milton Friedman) were efforts to spread right-wing libertarianism around the world. That included backing a military dictatorship in Chile.REVERSING CARTOHYPNOSISBy the 1980s these strategies helped instill fear in Americans that the Soviet Union could one day envelope the world. Decades of claims that communism spreads like a disease – Latin America today, Anglo America tomorrow – laid the groundwork in the 1980s for the ‘Soviet Military Power’ propaganda publications to have maximum impact. The fear in many is still there to this day and is heightened by Putin’s aggression via the Kremlin. Another example of an imperialist state department aggressively meddling in the business of a sovereign nation seeking their independence from an all-powerful overlord.Author Tom Gervasi spent years in the late 80s researching the government’s claims made in these publications. He read the CIA’s annual reports to Congress, Military Posture Statements of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sworn testimony from chiefs of the military services and Defense Department officials before the Armed Services and Appropriations Committees of Congress, as well as documents provided by NATO governments. He also consulted the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Federation of American Scientists, and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.In 1988 he republished the 1987 issue of Weinberger’s ‘Soviet Military Power’ with annotations in the margins debunking many claims made by the U.S. State and Defense Departments. He also highlighted salient examples and techniques of propaganda, including cartohypnotic maps.One shows the land mass connecting Europe with the former Soviet Union. The Soviet territory is covered with a blue blob overlaying its boundaries. Flowing south into Europe are massive arrows encroaching on Europe. The map gives the impression the U.S.S.R. not only has the opportunity to expand by land into all of Europe but that they also have the means to do so and a plan to do it.Gervasi comments in the margins asking us to “Imagine opening a book and seeing the arrows going the other way, thrusting deep into the Soviet Union. The average American or West European reader would feel surprised and quite possibly indignant, finding it a complete misrepresentation of our intentions. That is how the average Soviet citizen would feel opening this book to this page. But this is powerful propaganda, immediately imprinting on our memory the vision of one possibility, without imprinting the reverse possibility, and so reinforcing allegations of Soviet intent made repeatedly, without any evidence to support them.”And in echoes of Boggs’ suggestion that cartohypnosis can be reversed, Gervasi reminds us that “Indeed, images like the ones below are so deeply ingrained in the American psyche that if the propagandists can ever be silenced, it will take several decades of raising clear-sighted new generations to erase all our artificial fears and suspicions of the USSR.”Another map shows the entirety of the former U.S.S.R. in a simple outline with radiant cones stretched in every direction emanating from Moscow and other major cities. The title of the map is Ballistic Missile Early Warning, Target-Tracking, and Battle Management Radars. It suggests the U.S.S.R. had advanced radar systems ready to defend against attack.Gervasi notes, “This may give the impression that only the Soviets have such radars. A splendid map could be drawn of the U.S. radar system, stretching from Scotland to Hawaii, including the 12 large phased-array radars of our Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, the four large phased-array radars of our PAVE, PAWS system, the 75 radars of our DEW Line and North Warning System, our Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System, the three radars of our Navy’s Space Surveillance System, the 16 radars of our Air Force Spacetrack and other systems, and of course, our over-the-horizon backscatter radars. All of these are already fully operational, whereas the Soviet system shown here, as the text below acknowledges, will not be operational until the mid-1990s at the earliest.”Gervasi isn’t the only one to critique claims made in these publications. Even the conservative think-tank, The National Interest, debunks the ‘Pentagon’s exaggerations’ made in the these publications. In 2016 they took aim at what became Reagan and Weinberger’s pride and joy, the Strategic Defense Initiative – or as its was commonly referred to as, Star Wars. This was a space and ground-based laser program envisioned to obliterate threatening Soviet nuclear missiles. They write that Weinberger’s,“Soviet Military Power made ominous predictions about Soviet lasers, lasers powerful enough to shoot down incoming nuclear missiles, or disable satellites in orbit…[the publication stated] ‘in the late 1980s, (the Soviet Union) could have prototype space-based laser weapons for use against satellites.’ It went on to imply that there were working anti-satellite lasers at [a] Soviet research complex…”In 1989 a group of Americans, including engineers and physicists, visited this research site. They concluded the Soviets could only produce a two-kilowatt laser beam. For comparison, experts claim 250 kilowatts are needed to destroy a weapon. It took until last year, 2021, for the U.S. to demonstrate a 300 kilowatt laser weapon. But means to consistently control this device keep it from being deployed.The representative from Virginia, Jim Olin, a former electrical engineer at GE was on that tour in 1989 and said, “It seems to me it pretty clearly is not a power laser and doesn’t represent any threat as a weapon.”In 1942, the librarian at the American Geographical Society, John Kirtland Wright, who is an authority on the history of geography, wrote on the power of maps: “Like bombers and submarines, maps are indispensable instruments of war. In the light of the information they provide, momentous strategic decisions are being made today: ships and planes, men and munitions, are being moved. Maps help to form public opinion and build public morale. When the war is over, they will contribute to shaping the thought and action of those responsible for the reconstruction of a shattered world. Hence it is important in these times that the nature of the information they set forth should be well understood.”We live in a time when someone can go to their favorite search engine, type ‘map of Bering Straight’, copy and paste the image into an image editor, type in big red letters “RUSSIA” on one side of the maritime border and “USA” on the other, and voila…a map made to persuade public opinion. They can then feed it into the social media mass distribution machine and off it goes through a global network to be seen by more eyeballs than Casper Weinberger and Ronald Reagan could ever have imagined. If Boggs thought maps could be weaponized as hypnotic mind benders in the 1940s, imagine what he’d say now?We’ve reached a point where making your own map has never been more accessible. And it’s only going to get easier. I’ve dwelled on the negative aspects of maps as propaganda, but I’m inspired by Boggs’ notion of reverse cartohypnosis. The threat of physical war has never been more real than it is today as the West continues to push an unpredictable dictator into a corner. A corner defined on territorial maps drawn in 1919 by American’s that defined boundaries between Russia and Ukraine. Maps that were made to persuade. Putin is a man deluded by attachments to past maps that drew borders around a union of socialist republics. He has grown hateful of those who challenge that past, him, or his beliefs. His delusions are so grand that he may only be satisfied when he ‘wins’ or everyone else ‘looses’.Like Biden and most presidents before him, he is both a victim of and an contributor to decades of cartohypnotism and through waring propaganda between two super powers seeking imperial domination.With maps as weapons of war in an global battle for information superiority, I ask that we check our own delusions, aversions, and desires before becoming entranced by the seduction of a map. Arm our self-made mental radar and defense systems that warn us of intentions to exaggerate, placate, and sedate our vulnerability to bombs of persuasion. And should we decide to become a cartographer and make our own map one day, make sure we’re doing our best to reverse the effect of cartohypnosis. This is a public episode.

As Anglo-American capitalism swept across the globe in the nineteenth century, the school of Japanese Buddhism most closely associated with the thoroughly discredited feudal government, Zen, was struggling to rebrand. Meanwhile, Paul Carus, a German immigrant serving as court philosopher to a zinc magnate in LaSalle, Illinois, published a book identifying Buddhism as a possible source for the “Religion of Science” purified of all superstitions, which he believed must become the ideology of modern, capitalist “Teutonic peoples” (Anglo-Saxons and Germans both). Enthralled by this welcome departure from the standard dogma, accepted no less in Japan than in Anglo-America, that Christianity was the source of everything modern, capitalist, and democratic, young Suzuki Teitarō (who had spent no more than a few days visiting a Buddhist temple) eagerly translated Carus' book on Buddhism into Japanese and asked to go and study at his feet. Thus began eleven years in Illinois, where the man later known as D.T. Suzuki imbibed Carus' ideas on “modernizing” religion—and, crucially, techniques for claiming whiteness on behalf of a non-Anglo-Saxon people—that would serve him so well decades later when he suddenly started talking about “Zen”.

During the course of their conversation, Razib and Eric focus on the thesis at the center of Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?, the prediction that due to the higher reproductive rates of religious groups compared to the secular population, the future is going to be more religious than the present. Eric's thesis is that aspects of religious belief, for example, the divine commandment in the Hebrew Bible to be “fruitful and multiply,” result in differential fertility on the individual level. On the group level, he notes that poorer societies are more religious, and these societies also are driving migration and demographic change in secular developed countries (for example, London is more church-going than the rest of England, due to large immigrant congregations). Before digging into the possibilities for future demographics, Razib gets Eric's opinions and views on the secularization evident across much of the world over the last few centuries. How does this align with the idea that the future will be religious, especially when worries about differential fertility have been mooted as far back as early 19th-century France? At the time, secular French intellectuals worried about the immigration and reproductive rates of highly religious Catholics from Poland and elsewhere. And yet today France is even more secular than it was 200 years ago. Much of the subsequent discussion revolves around the idea that social and cultural change is impacted by alternative forces acting in balance. Transcript Eric emphasizes that the core of his argument does not rely upon the idea of large prominent religious groups expanding through mass conversion. Rather, Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth? argues that fertility differences in the liberal secular societies are going to be impacted in the long-term by small strict endogamous groups, like ultra-Orthodox Jews in England and Israel, or Laestadian Lutherans in Finland. Eric makes the case that these fundamentalist groups benefit from the spread of secular liberalism, as they are more inoculated from the anti-natal currents in the broader populace, driving large differential fertility differences. Finally, they also touch on what is driving secularism in America, the demographic problems facing Mormons in America, and how secularism might play out differently in South and East Asian societies dominated by non-Abrahamic religions.

Im Einwanderungsgesetz (Naturalization Law) von 1790 wurde festgeschrieben, dass freie weiße Menschen in die Vereinigten Staaten einreisen dürfen und auch die Staatsbürgerschaft bekommen konnten. Doch das war nicht so inklusiv, wie es erscheinen mag auf den ersten Blick. Wer gilt wann als weiß und wer nicht? darüber sprechen wir in der Folge anhand der Migration in die USA. In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts kommen aufgrund von unterschiedlichen Geschehnisse auf dem europäischen Kontinent viele irische und Deutsche Migrant:innen. Konflikte aus der Metropole werden mit in die "neue Welt genommen". Und so wird versucht die Iren als nicht ganz so weiß und eine eigene "race" zu beschreiben: sie waren Kelten im Vergleich zu den Briten, die zu den Anglo-Sachsen gehörten. Als dann die aber Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts viele Migrant:innen aus beispielsweise Osteuropa und Italien kamen hat sich die Stellung der Iren verändert. Hier wird dann versucht wissenschaftlich zu beweisen, dass diese neuen Migrant:innen einer anderen "race" angehören, was bestimmte Charakteristika implizierte. Die Stellung der irischen Immigrierten ändert sich. Diese wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen werden dann immer mehr und daraus ergibt sich dann der wissenschaftliche Zwei der Eugenik. In den 1920er/1930er Jahren wird dann ein neuer Begriff für weiß eingeführt: Kaukasisch. Dieser soll wissenschaftlich fundierte Erkenntnisse suggerieren. Was dies genau beutetet erfahrt ihr in der Folge. Wer Gast sein möchte, Fragen oder Feedback hat, kann dieses gerne an houseofmodernhistory@gmail.com oder auf Twitter an @houseofModHist richten.

Devin Shutte from The Robert Group chose Nintendo as his stock pick of the day and Jonathan Fisher from PSG Wealth Sandton Grayston chose Anglo American. Shutte said: "I'm going for Japanese listed Nintendo so, you know this is a company that's been around for for decades, it is a really strong name and a market leader in console sales in the US for more than two years. It's switch console has been incredibly well received but the issue has been a lot of the growth has gone into mobile gaming. Nintendo has recently announced a deal with an augmented reality studio called Nanotech to kind of monetize and create these mobile games for iconic characters." Fisher said: "I'm going for Anglo America, probably one of SA's favourite Bellwether stocks. It seem to be on a continued good run, they came out with full year results for December in February and they were okay but I think what the market was looking at is the prospects going forward. The share price has really done well and it's done well on the back of metal prices and mineral prices or ore prices that they mine, really going up nicely."
Published in December 2020, Duncan Bell’s Dreamworlds of Race: Empire and the Utopian Destiny of Anglo-America (Princeton University Press, 2020) concludes his loose trilogy of books about the metropolitan settler imaginary in the British Empire (see The Idea of Greater Britain, 2007; and Reordering the World, 2016). In this conversation with host Yi Ning Chang, Duncan brings us across the porous boundary between international relations and the history of political thought to discuss the racial utopia that captured the imagination of white thinkers at the turn of the twentieth century. Traversing the North Atlantic with figures such as Andrew Carnegie and H. G. Wells, Duncan reflects on the wide range of topics treated in this rich book, from sovereignty and citizenship to steampunk and Afro-modern literary traditions, before finally reflecting on current trends in the scholarship on utopianism. Between the late nineteenth century and the First World War, an ocean-spanning network of prominent individuals advocated the unification of Britain and the United States. They dreamt of the final consolidation of the Angloworld. Scholars, journalists, politicians, businessmen, and science fiction writers invested the “Anglo-Saxons” with extraordinary power. The most ambitious hailed them as a people destined to bring peace and justice to the earth. More modest visions still imagined them as likely to shape the twentieth century. Dreamworlds of Race explores this remarkable moment in the intellectual history of racial domination, political utopianism, and world order. Focusing on a quartet of extraordinary figures—Andrew Carnegie, W. T. Stead, Cecil J. Rhodes, and H. G. Wells—Duncan Bell shows how unionists on both sides of the Atlantic reimagined citizenship, empire, patriotism, race, war, and peace in their quest to secure global supremacy. Yet even as they dreamt of an Anglo-dominated world, the unionists disagreed over the meaning of race, the legitimacy of imperialism, the nature of political belonging, and the ultimate form and purpose of unification. The racial dreamworld was an object of competing claims and fantasies. Exploring speculative fiction as well as more conventional forms of political writing, Bell reads unionist arguments as expressions of the utopianism circulating through fin-de-siècle Anglo-American culture, and juxtaposes them with pan-Africanist critiques of racial domination and late twentieth-century fictional narratives of Anglo-American empire. Yi Ning Chang is a PhD student in political theory at the Department of Government at Harvard University. She works on the history of contemporary political thought, postcolonial theory, and the global histories of anticolonialism and anti-imperialism in Southeast Asia.

Published in December 2020, Duncan Bell’s Dreamworlds of Race: Empire and the Utopian Destiny of Anglo-America (Princeton University Press, 2020) concludes his loose trilogy of books about the metropolitan settler imaginary in the British Empire (see The Idea of Greater Britain, 2007; and Reordering the World, 2016). In this conversation with host Yi Ning Chang, Duncan brings us across the porous boundary between international relations and the history of political thought to discuss the racial utopia that captured the imagination of white thinkers at the turn of the twentieth century. Traversing the North Atlantic with figures such as Andrew Carnegie and H. G. Wells, Duncan reflects on the wide range of topics treated in this rich book, from sovereignty and citizenship to steampunk and Afro-modern literary traditions, before finally reflecting on current trends in the scholarship on utopianism.

“The road to fascist Europe takes a slight detour to the colonies in this latest episode of the No Fugazi Podcast, Wicked Brew. In last week’s episode, we talked about what fascism means to the fascist; today our pontificating duo of pinko podcasters are back to talk about what fascism means to the liberal democratic order and its capitalist architects. Is fascism a right wing populist revolution, or is it a capitalist counter-revolution? What can colonialism teach us about fascism, and more importantly what did it teach the reactionary bourgeoisie about human rights, enlightenment values and democratic norms? Find out the answers to these questions by joining Nick and Nina for part two of a four part (and counting) look at the very essence of fascism across time, space and class.” Interested in supporting No Fugazi financially?

{Podcast interprété en français} Anglo American Plc est une multinationale minière, premier producteur mondial de platinium et un important producteur de diamants, de nickel et de charbon. Historiquement, ils ont soutenu des partis politiques engagés pour l'apartheid, ont mis en œuvre un capitalisme particulièrement sévère, payant des salaires extrêmement faibles et ont fini par dévaster les pratiques agriculturelles locales. L'apartheid a permis à des entreprises minières comme Anglo de faire des profits sur le dos de travailleurs massivement exploités. Depuis la chute de l'apartheid, Anglo a déménagé son siège à Londres, mais met toujours en œuvre plusieurs projets miniers en Afrique du Sud et dans les pays alentours. Nous avons demandé à une activiste vivant dans une communauté affectée par des projets miniers, de partager son expèrience sur les méthodes et pratiques mises en oeuvre par Anglo America. Ces témoignages montrent à quel point une multinationale comme Anglo n’a pas changé sa politique fondamentalement - son ADN même - depuis la chute de l’apartheid. Ils ont eut pour but, et l'ont toujours à ce jour, de maximiser les profits, quelqu'en soit les impacts pour les travailleurs et les travailleuses.
Chicanismo thrives in many places along the southern border of the U.S. But it’s not often we hear the accounts of our brothers and sisters to the east in Florida. Professional photo journalist Alicia Vera transplanted to Mexico City from Miami nearly a decade ago. Alicia’s conversation paints a picture of what the broken promise of cultural pluralism in Anglo America could still look like and shares revelations about her own identity.
There has been a lot of bad news in Canadian journalism the past year with the developments at the Toronto Now, Georgia Straight, Metro and Torstar. The one bright spot has been the arrival of the Narwhal, providing not just non-profit, ecologically conscious journalism but old school investigative reporting with close editing, travel budgets and a careful careful research. We interview their newest journalist, Matt Simmons, the BC Northwest beat reporter. But before that, we check-in with Michael Demers, our regular sports reporter, on the rush back to work by Anglo America's main sports leagues.

Anglo American Plc is a multinational mining company. They are the world’s largest producer of platinum, and a major producer of diamonds, nickel and coal. Historically, they supported parties that took part in white only politics. They implemented themselves in a very harsh form of capitalism, paying out extremely low wages, and utilizing migrant labor, destroying local subsistence agriculture. Apartheid allowed mining companies like Anglo to make profit off the back of a massively exploited working class. Since the fall of Apartheid, Anglo moved its headquarters to London, but is still implementing several mining projects around and in South Africa. We asked an activist living in a mining affected community what she has to said about Anglo America methods and practices. Those testimonies highlights how Anglo hasn’t change its essence – its fundamental DNA – since the fall of Apartheid. It was, and still is, narrowly focus on profit maximization, no matter the cost to the rights of workers and communities.
Environmental and social governance (ESG) has been an area of great uncertainty and has caused disinvestment across the mining sector. What does COVID-19 mean and what is the effect that it is having on the ground across Africa? The mining industry must reconfigure and prepare itself to operate under a new normal, where it can operate and sustain itself under the new constraints and challenges that this pandemic brings. Listen to the latest episode in the IA Insights series on the future of mining in Africa post COVID-19. Thank you to Claire Lawrie, Senior Managing Director – Energy & Natural Resources Lead, FTI Consulting for moderating the conversation so excellently and to our panellists: Froydis Cameron, Group Head of International & Government Relations, Anglo America, Lawrence Dechambenoit, Vice-President, Corporate Relations EMEA, Rio Tinto and Daphne Mashile-Nkosi, Chairperson, Kalagadi Manganese Ltd.

The right-wing in Anglo America has reached apotheosis with Donald Trump and Boris Johnson in office. The pair represent the end point of Reagan and Thatcher style conservatism. Let's free up business to make a deal. Now America's Republicans and Britain's Conservatives are led by two hucksters trying to sell deals that are incomplete and half baked ... but from which they hope to profit. In this 10 minute long podcast Michael Goldfarb looks at the reality of trade dealing and nations being led by two men whose word is most definitely not their bond.

Business Day TV — Mark du Toit from Courtney Capital Private Wealth chose Anglo American as his stock pick of the day and Wayne McCurrie from FNB Wealth & Investments chose Transaction Capital. du Toit said: "Interest rates are coming down world wide and the global economy, particularly in Europe has been lackluster and America is slowing. I think the next big thing is going to be infrastructure renewal and we're starting to see quite a few countries joining in on this theme. I think that diversified miners are well placed to play to that theme. Anglo has been through a torrid time, its balance sheet is looking a lot better than it has done in the past and there's not a lot of new mines coming online so the supply will not outstrip the demand. I also think Anglo America is a quality company and it will do well. McCurrie said: "A smaller company but they seem to know the industry very well. They seem to be able to transact through thick and thin in up-down economies and two parts of the businesses are doing nicely. They are at a reasonable valuation and are fully integrated in the industry, and in this tough industry they are doing quite well."

This episode is the first part of a three-part series on “Homelands and histories.” In this episode, Dr. Dylan Miner—an artist, scholar and activist who teaches at Michigan State University—discusses his work in relation to land use, cultural heritage, and indigenous activism. Miner identifies as Wiisaakodewinini, or Métis, a person of mixed ancestry with ties to indigenous communities in the U.S. and Canada. Transcript: Jolie Sheffer: Welcome to the BG Ideas podcast, a collaboration between the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society and the School of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University. I'm Jolie Scheffer, an associate professor of English and American culture studies and the director of ICS. This is the first episode of a three-part series entitled Homelands and Histories, in which we talked to people making big impacts on local communities through their work on land use and cultural heritage. Jolie Sheffer: The word homeland can evoke comfortable feelings of patriotism or cultural identity, but it is also used to justify expulsion or even genocide. Similarly, the word histories is meant to call attention to the many points of conflict, debate, erasure of violence, and silencing that accompany efforts to describe and interpret the past. Today, we are joined by Dr. Dillon A. T. Miner, an artist, scholar, and activist, who identifies as Wiisaakodewinini or Metis, a native person of mixed ancestry with ties to indigenous communities in the US and Canada. Jolie Sheffer: Dylan is an adjunct curator of indigenous art at the Michigan State University Museum as well as the founder of the Justseeds artists collective and a board member of the Michigan Indian Education Council. He recently commenced the Bootaagaani-minis Drummond Island Land Reclamation Project, a de-colonial initiative to acquire land and establish a cultural center for Metis, whose ancestors were forced to leave the island during the War of 1812. Dylan is also the director of American Indian and indigenous studies at Michigan State University and an associate professor of transcultural studies in the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities at Michigan State. Jolie Sheffer: He's the author of the book Creating Aztlan: Chicano Art, Indigenous Sovereignty, and Lowriding Across Turtle Island, in which he shows that Chicano art needs to be understood in the context of indigenous history, anti-colonial struggle, and Native-American studies. I'm very pleased to welcome him to BGSU as a part of ICS's 2018 Spring Speaker Series. Thanks so much for being here. Dr. Dylan Miner: Thanks for having me. Jolie Sheffer: One of the things that we're interested in at ICS is discussing the relationship between different kinds of knowledge and different modes of activism, so scholarship, art, grassroots organizing. Can you start us out by telling us a bit about your particular path of negotiating those three? What set you out into trying to do all three? Dr. Dylan Miner: Sure. So I kind of come into the work I do. I grew up in punk rock circles and kind of crusty anarchist, Zeen-making circles. Much of the work I do kind of emerges from that space. I also, as you said, I'm a Wiisaakodewinini or a Metis person, and one of the Cree words for Metis is [foreign language 00:02:57]. That's a Cree word which means the people who own themselves are the people without bosses. Dr. Dylan Miner: So much of the work I do thinks about the ways of dismantling hierarchies in all of its forms. So I don't see a distinction necessarily between the scholarly work I do, the community-based work, the arts practice, or even kind of the familial and community work I do outside of or in spite of the institution or university. The more I get involved in various projects, the more I see all of them intermingling and intertwined into a holistic whole. So kind of what I'm doing, say with the Bootaagaani-minis Land Reclamation Project is not that much different as with what I'm doing say in the pedagogical practices in the classroom, working with the urban indigenous youth and the Native Kids Ride Bike Project, Anishnaabensag Biimskowebshkigewag. To me, they're all intertwined and all part of the same holistic way of thinking about building a better and more socially-just world. Jolie Sheffer: So how do you then decide kind of what the praxis is that goes with the project, right? Because your audience are going to differ depending on which mode you're working in. So when you're taking on a new project, how do you decide which path or paths to follow? Dr. Dylan Miner: Sure. Part of the reason I went to graduate school in art history was because I wanted to think about the ways... I had gone to art school for a year. I had gone to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit for a year and dropped out, partially because I felt that art school wasn't giving me some of the larger social or cultural worldviews to understand more engaged making of work. So I kind of went to graduate school in studying the history of art, particularly focusing on arts of the Americas, kind of indigenous, and Mestizo, or Metis practices throughout this hemisphere as a way to inform my own practice. Dr. Dylan Miner: The further I get away from needing to write academic and scholarly texts, the less I do. I felt there's a very colonial way of framing arguments that exist within academic writing. Part of the reason I've been writing more creative nonfiction, more poetically is because I think that engages with the themes I'm engaging within a much more nuanced and way that actually matches the work itself. Dr. Dylan Miner: So when I write now, much of what I try to write, I like to think about ways that the form of the writing can actually reproduce the ideas within it. I think that when I'm engaged in creative practices, whether it's something like The Elders Say We Don't Visit Anymore, which emerged in conversations with retired Ojibwe auto workers. So I started to employ that, what I started to call the methodology of visiting based on what they'd shared, in all aspects of what I do and what I've been doing. So I started thinking about, "What would it mean to slow down, to actually engage more intimately and more critically in all moments, in all practices that I'm engaged in?" Jolie Sheffer: You've worked with a wide variety of media in your art. You've done silk screening to building a decorating bicycles. You've talked about the pennant as a form. Can you talk about some of those examples, and how you selected that particular form, and how that helped convey the thematics that you were interested in? Dr. Dylan Miner: Sure. So I came up. I used to identify as a printmaker. I would make prints, and that's what I would do oftentimes relief prints, woodblock, and linoleum block prints. More recently, maybe the last decade or so, I've identified it as an artist who engages in projects. I think that in some ways, it comes from those conversations with elders where I'm at a place and I think that there's something liberatory about arts and creative practice. There was an interview or a small essay I read, I think it was in e-flux a number of years ago by the Mexican curator, Cuauhtemoc where he said that contemporary galleries were one of the last places for radical politics left. While I don't fully believe or agree with Medina on that point, I have some commitment to understanding and thinking about art as significant and important. Dr. Dylan Miner: So when I engage in projects now, I just have ideas and begin to call them artistic projects, call that a project. So for instance, my grandfather's grandmother was an herbalist. She was known for particular forms of herbal medicines. That's knowledge that didn't get to my generation, or my father's generation, or my grandfathers, or grandparents generation. So what I'm interested in doing is, "Okay, how can we frame that as a particular form of project and move forward with it in that way?" So many of the projects that come to begin there, "What is a knowledge form or practice I'd like to learn, and how can I, as an artist, as a Wiisaakodewinini person, how can I engage in that?" Dr. Dylan Miner: So sometimes it takes the form of print. Sometimes it takes the form of community collaborations. There's been lots of conversations in the last number of years about what people call social practice. There's lots of critiques of social practice. How does this all intertwine together? Sometimes it's particular forms. Sometimes it's conceptual. Jolie Sheffer: You talked about sort of the elders, but you've also done a lot of work with children and youth. Could you talk to us about some of those projects and why you think that's a particularly important audience to engage with? Dr. Dylan Miner: Sure. I do a lot of workshops with youth, primarily with indigenous youth, but also lots of urban youth, and rural youth, Latino youth, Chicano youth in the U.S., Canada, [Bit-Wasame 00:08:27] communities in Northern Scandinavia, [inaudible 00:08:29] indigenous communities in Australia, and to some extent in Latin America as well. As somebody who's interested in weird stuff, who's interested in certain kinds of punk, and hip hop, and certain artistic practices, and the creation of alternative social institutions, many of the collaborations with youth come from that space. So Anishnaabensag Biimskowebshkigewag, Native Kids Ride Bikes comes from wanting to interact with youth and have them interact with fluent speaking Ojibwe elders. Dr. Dylan Miner: So in Lansing, Michigan, we have some of the largest numbers of fluent Anishinaabeg speakers in the state of Michigan, but on the U.S. side of the border. But there was a disconnect between them and youth. So building bikes became an intentional time to gather people together around a particular thing of doing a doing and making. If in the end, people only learned how to make a bike, great. But it hopefully became something more than that. Jolie Sheffer: You're talking about the sort of colonial forms that so much of knowledge production in its institutionalized ways operates. So it's really interesting to hear you talk about these projects that are designed to sort of function outside of those frameworks. How do you in your own workshops and practice work to get outside of that habit of the kind of colonialist resource extraction of you go in or you're brought in, and it's like, "Now, you're going to be our native informant"? Then, everyone goes back to doing things the way they always did them. Dr. Dylan Miner: So my partner is Estrella Torrez who runs a project in Lansing called the Indigenous Youth Empowerment Program, IYEP, which is a native youth program. She co-directs with some friends of hers. She also coordinates a project with Latino youth called Nuestros Cuentos, which is Writes Stories with Youth. But one of those things is that she develops is this idea of kind of reverse resource extraction. What does it mean to be inside institutions within the university? In what ways can we extrapolate and build upon the resources and relationships we have in institutions to benefit communities, particularly communities we're a part of, but also communities we might not be a part of? How can we make those benefit communities, particularly communities of color, indigenous communities, and other communities, immigrant communities, et cetera? Dr. Dylan Miner: So I do a lot of work against resource extraction, anti-mining stuff, anti-pipeline stuff. So one question I've been asking in thinking through is, "What is the opposite of extraction? What would that look like? What is the opposite of actually mining and/or having pipelines for fossil fuels? What would that look like?" Just as a rhetorical question, "What would that look like for those of us in places who have access to particular resources? How can we kind of reverse those pipelines?" Jolie Sheffer: Your book is on Chicano art and movements, and you also work on indigenous Metis art. So can you provide an overview of some of those histories and convergences? Dr. Dylan Miner: Yeah. I'm really interested in the detribalized to histories that happen at both the intersections of both settler-colonial nation-state borders, whether it's the U.S.-Canada border or the U.S.-Mexico border. I grew up as a white-coated, indigenous person in the state of Michigan in a community that had a migrant farmworker community, a Chicano, and Mexican-American, and Mexican farmworker community and from an early age was seeing the linkages between the Metis histories of the Great Lakes, and the plains, and prairies of the U.S.-Canada border lands and some of the Chicano or Mexican-American forms of indigeneity that you see in Texas in New Mexico. Dr. Dylan Miner: My partner, her family, comes from Genizaro communities. Genizaros are folks in New Mexico and Texas that were basically taken detribalized indigenous folks that were then kind of put into servitude for Spanish settlers. So thinking about the ways that both colonial projects happen, whether it's the U.S. colonial project, the Canadian colonial project, the Mexican colonial project, and what they do to indigenous folks and to detribalized a non-recognized indigenous folks. So in that book, in particular, I look at Chicano or Mexican-American artistic practices after 1968 in relationship to a concept called Aztlan. Aztlan is the [Chica 00:12:54] or Nahua origin story that before the so-called Aztecs founded Tenochtitlan, or what is now Mexico City, they came from this cave on an Island. That place was called Aztlan. During the 1960s, during the Chicano power era, activists began to talk about the U.S. Southwest as that location. Dr. Dylan Miner: So one of the things I articulate in that book is thinking about Chicanos or Mexican-American folks as an indigenous nation and as a nation of movement, and what does it mean to slowly move across land? So using the metaphor of lowriding, whether it's lowriding in cars or lowriding in bikes that is, we all know lowriders. Some say they started in Espanola, New Mexico, some say they started in East Los Angeles. Either way, whatever the origin story is, it's an anti-capitalist form of movement. We think of muscle cars, we think of the automobile. I grew up in Michigan, kind of the birthplace of the automobile. That's about getting places quickly. Dr. Dylan Miner: But when you lowride through place, you intimately know the territory, begin to talk to the land, relate to the land, and it's a big F-you to capitalism where time is money, you're intentionally inverting that system. So for me, making these linkages are important as we both resist violent state practices. We're in a moment in time where the U.S. government is moving in certain ways. I've been advocating kind of for DACA and understanding of the linkages between U.S. immigration policies and what they do as a component of the same settler-colonial forms of appropriation, and appropriation, and violence that happened kind of as Anglo America pushed westward with manifest destiny. Jolie Sheffer: Well, and that sort of speaks to our theme of homelands and histories and the ways we think very differently about our own moment if we lengthen the window of time in which we're operating and to think about... I'm very interested. My own scholarship is on the history of immigration. So much of the rhetoric that circulates now is on legality and illegality. When, in the longer window of history, the laws changed around people. It's not that people are illegal or not. So what do the terms like a homeland and history connote to you? Dr. Dylan Miner: When I think of homeland, I think we all live in an era where we think of homeland security. I link it to certain kind of state practices, certain moves by the state towards a certain form of patriotism, a fascistic form of patriotism, that in its very creation creates borders that are solidified in certain ways. To link this back to the last question. One of the things I've been thinking about, and I think many, many scholars and activists, indigenous and Chicana activists have been thinking about this are the ways that communities, and indigenous sovereignties, and indigenous forms of governance and territoriality exist in relationship inside and outside of the forms of territoriality that Western nation-states have. That means that the U.S., Canada, Mexico have to have solidified borders. Those borders cannot be shared. A territory has to be one or the other. Dr. Dylan Miner: But when you look at longer-term histories of land use and land practice in Western spaces, but particularly in indigenous communities, there's always been conflicted spaces but also shared spaces. That the notion of territoriality that we see in this particular moment that arises from a form of polity that that happens and emerges in Western Europe at a particular moment of time is only one form of governmentality and territoriality that exists or that has to exist. If there's anything that I'd like my work to engage with as an activist, as a scholar, or as an artist is thinking about thinking otherwise, imagining other possibilities. The Zapatistas in the '90s, shared with us that, "[foreign language 00:16:50]. Another world as possible." When they think about, "What other worlds are possible, and do we have to be so constricted by the particularities of the worlds that we've been given?" Jolie Sheffer: I think that's something that the older I get, the more you realize that even in our own lifespan, that there were other ways of being. I remember what it was like not to have a cell phone, not to have social media. Or, thinking on the issue of borderlands, growing up in Michigan, you would just cross over into Canada. I was thinking about this very recently. I have a young son and I was like, "Oh, this summer, maybe we'll go to Canada." I realized, "I can't do that. I have to get him a passport." The way the state intrudes on those things. We take for granted that like, "Oh post-9/11 for many of our students, that's the only way of being they've experienced." Again, taking that longer view reminds you there have been other ways of being, and there could be yet again. Dr. Dylan Miner: I teach an undergraduate senior seminar, and one of the questions we ask is, "Is another world possible? Can we imagine a world beyond, or outside, or after, or in spite of capitalism?" Each time I've taught it, when we get to the end, it becomes nearly impossible for anyone in that class to think beyond, or outside, or in spite of capitalism, that as an economic and way of organizing social relationships, it has such a power on all of us that imagining something outside of it has been nearly impossible. Jolie Sheffer: We'd love to hear some of your questions. You ready? Alexis: I just want to say, first, thank you for coming and I appreciate this dialogue that we get to have with you. My name's Alexis [Ribertino 00:18:33]. We're apart of a class, all of us here. It is a studio seminar in the arts school, and we read the beginning of Creating Aztlan and other things regarding Native Kids Ride Bikes, specifically. That's kind of where our collaborative questions come from, just to give you a background on where we're coming from. Alexis: So you say in your book, Creating Aztlan, "Once you know the story, it is your collective responsibility to tell it." In thinking about this, I've noticed a trend in socially-engaged art to rely on the audience or participators in order to be the ones that enact with the change or artists put their trust in the participators in order to be provoked and then to think enough in order to pursue the change. This tactic then replaces the artist's direct involvement in policymaking or direct change. My question is, is this tactic enough or the best way of enacting social change and engagement? Or, is this possibility of inspiring in numbers more enticing than using more time and less minds to pull out the direct work? Dr. Dylan Miner: That's a good question and one that I'm not certain I have a full answer to. I will say that I'm of the perspective that unfortunately we live in a time when artists are brought in to fill in voids and other social services. So why is it that artists are engaging in certain kinds of projects when there's been a reduction in funding of social services that should do that exact same thing? I think that at a policy level and at an institutional level, I think that's a problem. Dr. Dylan Miner: Do I think that art is the best way to enact, or to initiate, or to be the change itself? As I said earlier, I do hold onto something that our art is liberatory in certain ways. I'm not certain what it is. I think that with the various avant-gardes you've seen throughout history, I think many of them have held onto that belief, whether rightly or wrongly, probably wrongly. But I do think there's something liberatory about it. There's a way... For instance, the majority of my work, I don't sell. I don't make work for the market. I've been criticized, and rightfully so, because I have I come from an institutional space of privilege where I teach at university and don't need to make work to pay my bills. Therefore, I can make work that's gifted or given away. I think that's significant about what I'm trying to do is make work outside or beyond the marketplace. Dr. Dylan Miner: So in terms of social practice or socially-engaged art, I think there's some very good examples and I think there's some very bad examples. I think that, at its best, community collaboration is just that. Like, when I engage in a project, it's that. I don't imagine that it's something beyond that. The Elders Say We Don't Visit Anymore, that's using my access to institutional spaces to create momentary spaces of visiting. Do I think it's going to fundamentally change those institutions, or indigenize them, or kind of transform them? No. I know that it's a momentary thing, and I know that the results will be fleeting. Dr. Dylan Miner: The same thing I'd say with Anishnaabensag Biimskowebshkigewag, Native Kids Ride Bikes. That's really about building social relationships, and making connections between existing community members, and one another. If it goes beyond that, that's wonderful. But I don't think it always will or always has. But I do think there's moments in time where we live in a moment when so many different institutions for public good have been dismantled, and so now we're turning to artists to do the work that something else should do. I think that's a fundamental larger problem. Nick: My name's Nick. Thank you for coming. For my question, in your interview with America Meredith that we read, you provide a quote from Ryan Red Corn stating, "We're Indian. We're political by default." I was struck by the idea that even in a not-overtly political project, the aesthetics become politicized. Do you see this as being an issue for indigenous artists or a distracting element if their work tends to be viewed through a specific lens? Do you find that your work strives to have a singular identity, or do you feel like is split serving two different purposes regarding an indigenous and a outside audience? Dr. Dylan Miner: Good question again. So the quote by what Ryan Red Corn, and Ryan Red Corn's a graphic designer and Osage guy. He's also in the comedy troupe 1491, so he was just visiting East Lansing and I had dinner with him a few weeks ago. So it's good to see you brought that quote up from the interview with America Meredith, who's a Cherokee painter, who is also the editor for First American Art Magazine. So if you're not familiar, put a plugin for that to really exciting and interesting article or magazine that she publishes. Dr. Dylan Miner: So I think this is a problematic both for contemporary indigenous artists, but for artists of color, for queer artists, for many other artists, who there's a certain kind of reading that when work becomes biographical, people only read it in that way. I think that happens to certain artists and not to all artists. Why is that? That said, my work is always political even when not politically. It's intentionally political, and I have some that is overly agitprop. It's fine to be read one-dimensional. Dr. Dylan Miner: In the class I was just meeting with, I showed them a Line 5 pipeline Risograph poster that I recently produced. My own politics, I'm vehemently against that pipeline, Line 5. Enbridge line 5, of course, was created in 1953. It's a approximately 700-mile pipeline that brings tar sands from Western Canada through Wisconsin and Michigan to be processed and refined in Sarnia, Ontario. Of course, Sarnia is right by a First Nations, an Anishinaabek First Nations community that has some of the largest cancer rates of any community because of the processing of so many chemicals and particularly oil refineries there. Dr. Dylan Miner: But with this image, it is a unidimensional reading of it. A poster kind of demarking, or discussing, or showing the 20 plus... I don't remember the exact number, the nearly 30 oil spills that have happened since that pipeline opened in 1953 and spilling 1.1 million gallons of oil. There's not a lot of readings that can be read into that poster. It's intentionally one advocating for the dismantling and shutting down of that pipeline. So I'm okay with a one-dimensional reading of that. Dr. Dylan Miner: Other works, particularly in museums and galleries, kind of text I write, they need to be more nuanced and understanding of them. I think that with indigenous, with artists of color, oftentimes the work becomes read as biographical. I think that's a hard dynamic, and hard dialectic, or hard tension that people who aren't part of that community have when engaging with that art. There's been scholars and critics who've looked at the ways that, particularly with indigenous art, when you come to it, you have to both understand the particularities of the knowledge system the artist is working with as well as the understanding of the discourses and structures of contemporary art. Dr. Dylan Miner: That's high expectations. It's a lot to expect of audiences, whether indigenous or not, whether a member of that individual artist's community or another indigenous nation. There's a lot of expectations there. So with that, I think there'll probably be a lot of misinterpretations. When you make something and put it in the world, you have to be open to understand and think through its possible multiple readings, whether they're ones you want or not. Jolie Sheffer: That seems like the focus of your work that is very process-oriented seems partly designed to break down that singular reading because you have to kind of engage with the work and help create it. That seems in itself kind of an anti-capitalist way of being that you can't just sort of, "Okay, now I'm going to absorb the art and the artist, and then get out." Dr. Dylan Miner: I think time, non-capitalist, nonlinear time is very significant in my work. If you come to my talk tonight, and I've said it a number of other times, but I'll talk a bit about this term [foreign language 00:26:59], which is a Anishinaabemowin term meaning one's ancestors but also one's descendant. So it's referencing in particularly one's great-grandparent or one's great-grandchild, but it's the same word for both. But it breaks down linear notions of history that past is behind us, kind of the future's in front of us, and actually creates a relationship with one's ancestors and one's descendants that is very intimate and very real. To do that, you have to engage in a long-term, nonlinear notions of time. Dr. Dylan Miner: So much of my work, whether studio or otherwise, I think I'm trying to evoke and employ this particular notion of temporality that isn't linear, that doesn't somehow put past behind us, future in front of us, and somehow we can get to this attainable future of some sort. Dr. Dylan Miner: When you were talking a moment ago, I was thinking of a project I do called Michif–Michin, The People The Medicine, which is a collaboration with plants where I actually have conversations, learn from and with medicinal plants, and then harvest them, and then make prints from them. I print them in inks I harvest. Inks I make from berries I harvest and then give them away. They're not sold. So there's a long-term relationship between me and the plant, but also between me and the people who share knowledge about the plant and then who receive these prints. So lots of ways of thinking through and around these questions. Maria: Hi, my name's Maria. I also wanted to say thanks for coming and spending time talking to us. My question is that you mentioned that one of the long-term outcomes of your lowriding project was both the inclusion of native tradition, culture, and history, but also a commentary on sustainability within transportation. How do you envision the lowriding project impacting within the relationship that exists between native and colonialist values? What type of conversations do you think that this will spark between the two groups, and do you foresee an impact or a change being made on colonialist viewpoints of sustainability and conversation from projects similar to this? Dr. Dylan Miner: Another good question. For me, it's hard to say, or hard to predict, or hard to judge kind of what impacts or relationships they have. As someone whose practices fundamentally about building relationships and engaging with other people, I think that I want to put that in play. I want that to happen. If you'd have asked me this two years ago, I think various conversations were happening about sustainability, and about climate change, and resistance to climate change, and understanding potential transformations that needed to happen at a dominant structural level. At this point in time, I'm a little less... I don't think those are happening at the upper echelons of state and capitalist institutions. So because of that, I'm concerned. Dr. Dylan Miner: This is a slight aside, but I think that what we see is that there's very powerful systems of violence and oppression, whether it's violence to the land, whether it's oppression of other individuals, whether it's the creation of patriarchal systems. Those are all intertwined. If you look at the scholarly text and the creative text as well, part of what I'd like to put in place is how all of these are intertwined together. You probably haven't heard it as much on U.S. news, but I've been kind of attentive to it is that in Western Canada, just last Friday, there was a court case that came through. This was a young Korean man who was in his 20s, Colton Boushie, who was shot three times in the head by a Saskatchewan farmer a number of months ago. That ruling came down on Friday. Stanley, the individual who shot him three times in the head, was acquitted for murder and or manslaughter. Dr. Dylan Miner: This is to say that there's institutional forms of violence and oppression that become reproduced within structures and systems, that whether or not we control them. So when I make things and when I'm engaged in practices, I put them out there in the world. How they operate within these existing systems, to some extent, is outside my control. Tyler: My name's Tyler. So my question is, as artists, we want to avoid cliche and heavy-handed work crafted without intention. Sometimes this want can lead to work made with intent by the artist, but that isn't understood by anyone who isn't familiar with the piece. So for socially-engaged art, how blatant do you find that art needs to be in order to actually be an effective piece of social engagement? How much of the artist needs to be present, and how much of the activist? In your own practice, how do you balance these two sides? Dr. Dylan Miner: Good. Julie and I were talking earlier about balance and the fact that balance doesn't exist. It's a process. But at any moment, we're going to fall off as we're trying to balance anything. I have no intention to balance. I come to my work as someone with particular political motivations. Some of the work, particularly the print-based work that exists in poster and print form, is freely downloadable off the internet. That has an agitprop positionality. That is intended to agitate and provoke, to make people think about particular issues, oftentimes indigenous issues, oftentimes environmental issues, oftentimes immigration issues, and how all of these are linked together. Dr. Dylan Miner: The other work, what could be called the socially-engaged work or the work I'm doing oftentimes in galleries or in museums, you're right, is less heavy-handed. Yet, the ways that those are read, I think, are going to differ greatly based on the baggage, and the knowledge, and the information people bring to them. The more I do things, the more I understand that and I'm open to that. With Anishnaabensag Biimskowebshkigewag, Native Kids Ride Bikes, I've done that a number of times with communities that I know and a number of times with communities I don't know. Some of them have been very successful, and some of them have been very awful based on existing relationships between me and people in those communities and people in those communities and the institution that brought me in. Dr. Dylan Miner: So I think a lot of times, it's not even necessarily on the actual social engagement but rather the relationships, the networks, the interactions that exist outside, and beyond, and around those particular engagements. As an artist, as much as I'd like to say I'm against hierarchies in all forms, which I am, as an artist, sometimes we bring our own ideas into things. I think that the more engagements I do, the less I have to have particular ideas of what I'd like them to be. So building bikes, those emerge out of collective conversations. Clearly, we're there to build a bike, but what will that be? Jolie Sheffer: Following up on that question. So you're an artist, you present your work in these different venues, but you're also a curator, right? So how do you think about your role in positioning? What are the kinds of decisions and conversations you have with yourself and with artists whose work your career curating in the museum context? Dr. Dylan Miner: Sure. So I have this adjunct curator title and position, and I don't do a lot of curatorial work in that museum. But I am curating a show at a university gallery in March, which is on land and water, thinking about what those topics, concepts mean. Again, sometimes it's bringing in activist projects into the museum context. I think Nato Thompson, the curator who was with Creative Time for some time, is probably most well-known for that kind of integrating activist projects into the art world and kind of reciprocally bringing art world projects into activists' world. Dr. Dylan Miner: So one of the works that's going to be in the show is some of the ephemera from Lee Spragge, who is a Anishinaabeg activist, and he's kind of most well-known for his knowledge on wild rice. He's a wild ricer. He's a former chief of one of the First Nation communities in Michigan. He was leading one of the canoe brigades at Standing Rock, and his canoes were stolen by the state and destroyed. But what we're going to have in the show is some of his ephemera paddles, and life jackets, and things like that. Clearly, he was, kind of some time ago, living in Berkeley and doing performance art and kind of identified as an artist in that point in time. But this is clearly taking some of that more ephemera from activists' projects, placing it in the context of an art gallery and museum. I think that you can create various interesting conversations and projects around that. Jolie Sheffer: What's next? What are you working on now, or what are some upcoming projects? Dr. Dylan Miner: So I'm working on a number of things, trying to do less and less academic writing. I have a number of shows coming up. One is a new project for the Grand Rapids Art Museum doing large-format cyanotypes. So the year the cyanotype was invented as a photographic process was actually the same as the last treaty was signed in the state of Michigan, the Treaty of La Pointe. So I'm doing a series of landscapes, and waterscapes, and skyscapes using this process to think about the relationship between the materiality and the form itself. I think this goes back to some of your earlier questions. I'm really interested in the relationship between materiality, and the form, and how those all are intertwined. Dr. Dylan Miner: I have another solo project building bikes. I might be doing lowrider canoes for a gallery at Western University in Ontario, and then I'm just trying to do some more writing, and do some more working, and just be a human being, and build a better world that in this moment in time, it seems that it's really hard to be a good human being. So if I can try to be a better human being, I'll go that route. Jolie Sheffer: Thank you all very much. Dr. Dylan Miner: [foreign language 00:37:02]. Thanks for having me on. It's been fun to listen and engage in conversation. Jolie Sheffer: Thank you all again so much. So today, our producer is Chris Cavera. Research assistance is by Lauren O'Connor and Elizabeth [Brownlow 00:37:16]. With special thanks to our co-sponsors, the School of Cultural and Critical Studies, the School of Art, and the department of English at BGSU. Thank you all.

Please join us Sunday, May 25, 2014 as we welcome Dr. Jeffery B. Perry to Black FreeThinkers. We will discuss Hubert Henry Harrison who is considered the Black Socrates. Harrison is also know for his radical humanism, oratorical skills, and influence. "The Invention of the White Race" by Theodore W. Allen, especially Vol. II: "The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America"."When the first Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619, there were no 'white' people there; nor, according to the colonial records, would there be for another sixty years." Theodore W. Allen Theodore W. Allen's "The Invention of the White Race," with its focus on racial oppression and social control, is one of the twentieth-century's major contributions to historical understanding. This two-volume classic (Vol. 1: "Racial Oppression and Social Control" and Vol. 2: "The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America") details how the "white race" was invented as a ruling-class social control formation and a system of racial oppression was imposed in response to labor solidarity in the wake of Bacon's Rebellion (1676-77), how the "white race" was created and maintained through "white race" privileges conferred on laboring class European-Americans relative to African-Americans, how these privileges were not in the interest of African-Americans or laboring class European-Americans, and how the "white race" has been the principal historic guarantor of ruling-class domination in America.
ArchiTreats: Food for Thought celebrates the Year of Alabama History through a series of sequential lectures in Alabama history by leading experts in the field. Join us for the third presentation in the series as Kathryn Braund presents The Creek Indians in Alabama. Once the newly established state of Alabama extended sovereignty over the tribe, it effectively ended the existence of the Creek Nation in their traditional homeland. In her talk, Dr. Braund will explore the main themes in Creek Indian history, including trade and land, diversity and division, and change and continuity. Drawing on both the written record and historical artifacts, Dr. Braund will explore the complex story of Alabama when it was owned and ruled by the Creek Indians. Dr. Kathryn Braund is Professor of History at Auburn University and has authored or edited four books relating to the southeastern Indians. Her first book, Deerskins and Duffels: The Creek Indian Trade with Anglo-America, 1685–1815, was the first to extensively examine the Creek deerskin trade, especially the impact of commercial hunting on all aspects of Indian society. She has also written on William Bartram, an eighteenth-century botanist whose published account of his southern Travels is an American literary classic, and on James Adair, a deerskin trader whose account of his life among the southeastern Indians was published in London in 1775. Dr. Braund has also published scholarly articles on the southeastern Indians during the American Revolution, Creek gender and work roles, and race relations and slavery among the Indians. She also has contributed to several encyclopedias and reference works. Currently, she is researching the Creek War of 1813-1814. This ArchiTreats presentation is made possible by the Friends of the Alabama Archives and a grant from the Alabama Humanities Foundation, a state program of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
