A Small Voice: Conversations With Photographers

Harriet Logan is a multi-award winning photographer who spent the first half of her career working on international assignments in places such as Sudan, Angola, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo and Somalia for a range of international newspapers and magazines. She subsequently turned her attention to working commercially on advertising campaigns for various big brand clients, including The Pictet Group and Canon, alongside some of the worlds largest advertising agencies. Today she curates the Incite Project, an issue driven collection of photographs broadly based around the subject of world events and conflict. Harriet is also the executive director of The Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant which has run for over 30 years and which she won in 1992. The grant has a mission to support young and emerging Photojournalists. She co-parents 4 boys with her husband Mark, an owl, a peregrine falcon, three dogs, a dressage horse, and a bunch of sheep, cows, chickens and pigs.

De Sao Tomé jusqu'en Islande : 7 459 km ! En route ! Notre 1er invité est Dj Tom B. pour la compilation Léve Léve Vol.2 Alliant un élan révolutionnaire désarmant à des rythmes parmi les plus chaleureux et entraînants, l'histoire musicale de São Tomé-et-Príncipe se poursuit avec ce second volume irrésistible de morceaux taillés pour le dancefloor, publié par le label Bongo Joe. Six ans après la sortie de la toute première compilation consacrée à ces îles jumelles, réunie sous le titre décontracté et insouciant LÉVE LÉVE (« take it easy »), cette nouvelle sélection rassemble 15 titres essentiels issus de singles et d'albums d'artistes emblématiques de la scène locale tels que Sum Alvarinho, Os Úntuès, Conjunto Mindelo, África Negra ou encore Sangazuza. Véritable panorama joyeux et brûlé de soleil des sons et des mouvements de la vie insulaire, cette scène, aussi diverse que les paysages de l'archipel, avait été introduite dans le premier volume à travers certains des groupes et artistes les plus populaires et influents de cette région africaine lusophone. Tout en conservant un lien avec les artistes présents sur cette première compilation, le DJ français au goût éclectique et à la touche chaleureuse, Tom B, propose ici une nouvelle sélection riche et généreuse de morceaux animés par l'esprit de l'indépendance africaine, de la tradition et de la prière. Rarement mise en lumière, voire jamais, la nation insulaire africaine de São Tomé-et-Príncipe et son export musical le plus envoûtant, le Puxa, restent largement méconnus. Fusion transatlantique raffinée mêlant le soukouss congolais, le semba angolais et le merengue, la coladeira capverdienne, le kompa haïtien et des rythmes brésiliens, enrichie de lignes de basse mouvantes, de mélodies délicates et de choeurs santoméens, le Puxa se définit par son groove dansant et rebondissant, ses percussions vives, ses voix suaves et apaisées, ses guitares délicatement pincées et striées à la manière du benga kényan, et une bienveillance omniprésente. São Tomé-et-Príncipe devint tristement célèbre comme point de transit majeur de la traite esclavagiste. Sa position sur l'équateur, au large du Gabon et au coeur de l'Atlantique, en fit une escale stratégique exploitée pour le transport forcé de personnes réduites en esclavage. Il fallut plus de quatre cents ans pour que l'indépendance soit enfin proclamée en 1975. Des groupes présents sur la compilation, comme le célèbre África Negra, incarnent pleinement cette lutte. Sur le premier de leurs deux titres inclus ici, Apoiámos a luta dos nossos irmãos (« Nous soutenons la lutte de nos frères »), ils livrent un hymne libérateur, citant d'autres pays — souvent désignés collectivement comme les PALOP (Pays africains de langue officielle portugaise) — en signe de solidarité : « São Tomé, Príncipe, Angola, Mozambique, Guinée, Cap-Vert… ». Initialement censuré par les autorités portugaises, qui leur interdisaient d'utiliser leur nom célébrant leurs racines africaines jusqu'à l'indépendance de 1975, l'un des groupes les plus populaires de la région renforça encore son ancrage identitaire avec des morceaux comme ce titre de motivation au Puxa puissant, longtemps resté inédit. Ils tournèrent régulièrement en Angola, au Mozambique, à Lisbonne et au Cap-Vert, intégrant de nouveaux membres au fil du temps, dont le célèbre second guitariste Leonildo Barros, arrivé en 1978 et toujours à la tête du groupe aujourd'hui. Dans un esprit similaire, et spécialement remasterisé pour cette compilation, le titre África é país de Tiny das Neves e Conjunto Sol d'África — hymne des années 80 prisé des DJs pour son énergie électrisante — rend hommage au leader révolutionnaire anticolonial et poète Amílcar Cabral. La compilation met également en avant plusieurs autres groupes, dont Sangazuza, de retour avec quatre titres issus de leurs deux LP aujourd'hui très recherchés. Toujours actif aujourd'hui avec une formation plus jeune, le groupe fut initialement fondé en 1969 par le guitariste soliste José Soares Fernandes (alias Rivete) et le chanteur Hyder India. Présents sans interruption à chaque décennie depuis leur création, leur succès local leur valut une diffusion sur Radio STP. Dix ans plus tard, avec un nouveau line-up, ils firent évoluer le son santoméen en y intégrant synthétiseurs et effets studio. Dans les années 1990, Sangazuza connut encore le succès, publiant plusieurs albums solos et deux cassettes en collaboration avec leurs rivaux amicaux África Negra. Morceaux joués : - Sangazuza Mario bi cedo - Sum Alvarinho Cacau - Tiny Das Neves Africa é pais - Bulawê N'Guli Fala, Quinta Das Palmeiras Tira a mao da minha xuxa. ► Album Léve Léve Vol.2 (Bongo Joe 2026) Instagram Bongo Joe - Instagram Tom B. - Bandcamp.     Puis la #SessionLive reçoit le songwriter islandais Asgeir pour la sortie de son 5ème album Julia. Dans son cinquième album studio Julia, le chanteur-compositeur islandais Ásgeir s'aventure dans un territoire intrigant et inexploré. Après avoir collaboré pendant des années avec des traducteurs tels que John Grant et travaillé sur la poésie de son père, Einar Georg Einarsson, Ásgeir a écrit lui-même les paroles de ses chansons pour la première fois de sa longue et brillante carrière. Le résultat est une œuvre profondément contemplative, imprégnée de nostalgie, dans laquelle Ásgeir médite sur ses regrets passés et ses espoirs pour l'avenir, guidé par le spectre du personnage qui donne son titre à l'album. Ásgeir est depuis longtemps salué pour sa folk-pop complexe, ses productions somptueuses et sa voix de fausset mélancolique et émouvante. Ce nouveau sentiment de vulnérabilité imprègne les dix titres de l'album, écrits et enregistrés sur une période de près de deux ans. La plupart des chansons ont d'abord été composées à la guitare, privilégiant la simplicité, la mélodie, la clarté et le sens. La production, développée en collaboration avec Guðm. « Kiddi » Kristinn Jónsson, son partenaire de longue date, reste organique et discrète, permettant à la voix d'Ásgeir, et surtout à son talent d'auteur-compositeur, de s'exprimer pleinement. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Against the Current Live RFI - Ferris Wheel Live RFI  - Glædur (de l'album Sátt) Live RFI. Line Up : Ásgeir Einarsson (chant, guitare) + Claire Simon (interprète). Son : Benoît Letirant. ► Album Julia (One Little Independent Records 2026).

What does real partnership between Europe and Africa actually look like in 2026? In this episode of the Liberal Europe Podcast, Ricardo Silvestre is joined by Rui Santos, CEO of CESO Development Consultants, a Portuguese firm celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and one of the most experienced implementers of European Commission projects across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. The conversation unpacks how EU cooperation has shifted away from the old donor-beneficiary model towards genuine, shoulder-to-shoulder collaboration. They discuss the EU's strategic partnership programmes with countries like Angola, the Global Gateway initiative, and PROCULTURA PALOP-TL/UE, a cultural ecosystem-building project across Portuguese-speaking African countries and East Timor. Along the way, Rui reflects on what 35 years in international development have taught him about reputation, patience, and the long-distance run that meaningful cross-border work demands.

Mientras que casi la totalidad del arsenal aéreo de la 2GM fue desechado o vendido como excedente en los Estados Unidos, el A-26 (renombrado como B-26) siguió siendo un elemento muy útil para acciones de ataque y contra-insurgencia que los nuevos reactores no podían realizar. Lo veremos en Vietnam, o lo utilizará la CIA en sus misiones de falsa bandera en Cuba u otras acciones encubiertas.

At 16, after seven years of isolation, pain and physical and emotional abuse Christine Sadry reached a breaking point. She was battered, bruised, and could no longer see a way forward. In that moment of deep despair, she attempted to take her life. As she was slipping into unconsciousness, something deep within her stirred — a spark of life that refused to go out. She called a friend just to thank her for her friendship. Her friend heard something in Christine's voice and sensed something was wrong. That phone call saved her life. And it also became a turning point. That moment of hopelessness became the beginning of her strength.   Christine Sadry was born in Poland, behind the Iron Curtain, and was adopted in 1964 by a Polish American couple living in the United States. After graduating from West Catholic Girls High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she worked at the United States Social Security Administration from 1973 to 1979.

Neste programa Semana em África, voltamos à situação na RDC, a braços com a epidemia do ébola, e olhamos para as medidas que Angola começou a adoptar. Também olhamos para Cabo Delgado, onde a retoma do projecto da francesa Total gera críticas. Ainda em Moçambique, destacamos o estudo do CIP sobre o fecho de 500 empresas nos últimos dois anos. Quanto a Cabo Verde, o destaque vai para a Cimeira das Nações Crioulas. Começamos com a República Democrática do Congo, onde chegou, esta sexta-feira, o director da Organização Mundial de Saúde para tentar encontrar mais respostas para conter a epidemia de ébola. Recordo que, até ao final da semana, tinham sido registadas 246 mortes em mais de mil casos suspeitos, de acordo com um relatório do Centro Africano de Controlo e Prevenção de Doenças, a agência de saúde da União Africana. Também esta sexta-feira,foi confirmada uma recuperação, a primeira desde o início da epidemia. Entretanto, em Angola, as autoridades sanitárias intensificam as medidas de vigilância e prevenção contra o Ébola, sobretudo nas regiões fronteiriças com a República Democrática do Congo, devido ao índice de mortes provocado pela epidemia. A 23 de Maio, a agência de saúde Africa CDC alertou que Angola está entre os dez países africanos que correm o risco de ser afetados pelo vírus Ébola, além da RDC, epicentro da epidemia, e do Uganda. Um trabalho  de Francisco Paulo. Poucos meses depois de ter retomado o projecto moçambicano de gas natural liquefeito em Cabo Delgado, esta sexta-feira, a TotalEnergies reuniu-se em Paris para a sua assembleia-geral para apresentar lucros recorde. Daniel Ribeiro, da ong moçambicana Justiça Ambiental, denuncia que a situação em Cabo Delgado “continua perigosa e a insurgência activa”. Em Moçambique, um grupo de membros da Renamo submeteu à Procuradoria-Geral da República um documento com 18 mil assinaturas para impugnar a liderança de Ossufo Momade. O coordenador nacional da comissão de gestão do partido, Edgar Silva, pediu a Ossufo Momade que apresente contas. Em Moçambique, desde 2024, mais de 500 empresas fecharam e deixaram mais de 15 mil trabalhadores desempregados devido à escassez de divisas no país. A conclusão é do Centro de Integridade Pública que divulgou em Maputo um estudo sobre esta problemática, como explica a investigadora do CIP, Teresa Boene. Em Cabo Verde, arranca esta quinta-feira a Cimeira das Nações Crioulas, que decorre até ao dia 30 de Maio. Num contexto internacional marcado por guerras, intolerância e profundas desigualdades, o Presidente José Maria Neves defende que esta iniciativa pretende criar uma nova dinâmica de diálogo, assente na cooperação e na valorização das identidades crioulas. Em Cabo Verde, as mulheres representam menos de dois por cento da população prisional, mas a Comissão Nacional para os Direitos Humanos e a Cidadania alerta que esta realidade não pode esconder os desafios enfrentados pelas reclusas. A instituição defende medidas mais equitativas e condições mais dignas para o cumprimento das penas, sobretudo no contacto com os filhos menores. Odair Santos. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, a vice-presidente da ADI - Acção Democrática Independente -, Celmira Sacramento, anunciou na quarta-feira, em conferência de imprensa, que o partido apresentou uma queixa-crime no Ministério Público contra, nomeadamente, o primeiro-ministro Américo Ramos.

Die Dorsland — the Thirstland — is part of the Kalahari that has an interesting history when it comes to pastoralists. The San didn't call it the Thirstland, for them it wasn't a barrier but part of a network of seasonal resource nodes. They would navigate the dry spans using sip-wells, inserting long, hollow reeds deep into the damp sand, use grass filters, and literally suck water up to store in hollowed-out ostrich eggshells buried along transit routes for future journeys. Around 2,000 to 2,500 years ago, a massive economic shift occurred when groups in northern Botswana acquired livestock, sheep and later cattle, transitioning from hunter-gatherers to pastoralists—becoming the Khoekhoe. Archaeological evidence indicates the Khoekhoe moved out of the northern Botswana/Zambezi region and split. One major migration route skirted the western edge of the Kalahari desert, moving down through modern-day Namibia and into the Northern and Western Cape with the Kalahari was the geographic pivot around which this entire pastoralist expansion rotated. Moving large herds of sheep and cattle through a Thirstland required moving between reliable pans and riverbeds like the Nossob, Auob, and Molopo rivers. They transformed the Kalahari from a hunter-gatherer landscape into a series of strategic grazing corridors. The Dorsland Trekkers were going to reverse that course to some extent, using the north western Botswana region to reach Namibia, and eventually, Angola. The Khoekhoe like the Voortrekkers, appreciated their freedom, moving in small extended family groups, their mobility part of their world-view. Instead of heading north west like the trekkers, they had headed south west for hundreds of years, arriving in Southern Africa about 2400 years ago. That was about the time parts of south-central Africa experienced a shift in rainfall, forests and dense woodlands expanded or contracted, the tsetse belts moved. If you were an early pastoralist whose entire wealth, diet, and social structure depended on cattle and sheep, a shifting tsetse belt was an existential threat. The arid margins of the Kalahari, the Namib, and the Karoo environments further south were too dry for the tsetse fly. The Karoo was a safe haven for livestock, the Namib too dessicated. In high-rainfall, tropical areas, grass grows fast but loses its nutritional value in winter, it becomes sourveld. In more arid regions like the fringes of the Kalahari and the Karoo the grass grows slower but retains its high mineral and protein content year-round, even when dry - it is sweetveld. To a sheep or cow, the arid south was an open buffet of incredibly nutritious feed. The Khoekhoe migration pushed into the Western Cape, where they hit a completely different climate zone, the winter rainfall region, so just as the summer rainfall area dried out, the Cape valleys were greening up. But where the trekkers moved northwards taking a decade and arrived Angola in 1880, the Khoekhoe migrations took hundreds of years. A gradual seeping south if you like. After the Khoekhoe, and before the Boers, the people of the Ngami area near the Okavango Delta were known as the Khwebe - from the word Kwe which simply means “people”. They dwelled close to a geographical anomaly in Botswana - the Khwebe Hills — Botswana is one of the flattest countries on earth. The Khwebe hills are a windy place and Khwebe mythology speaks of the Gas Bird which lives in a certain baobab near the upper Okavango River valley. If you listen closely, you can hear his hissing voice inside the tree. The mythology is linked to earlier San cosmology, where the word !Khwe means wind — and where the wind is a supernatural being.

A actualidade africana desta semana fica marcada pelo agravamento do surto de Ébola na República Democrática do Congo, pela mudança política em Cabo Verde após as legislativas, pela contestação ambiental em torno dos investimentos franceses em Moçambique e pela persistente crise energética em São Tomé e Príncipe. Em Angola, o Presidente João Lourenço rejeitou a proposta de pacto para a estabilidade apresentada pela UNITA, considerando não existir uma situação de crise política que o justifique.   As mortes suspeitas provocadas pelo Ébola na República Democrática do Congo ascendem já a 177, enquanto os casos identificados chegaram aos 750. O alerta foi lançado esta sexta-feira pelo director-geral da Organização Mundial da Saúde, que receia que a dimensão real da epidemia possa ser “muito maior”. Numa fase inicial, os sintomas febris confundem-se frequentemente com doenças comuns em África, como a malária, o que pode atrasar o diagnóstico e aumentar o risco de morte. Em Angola, depois do alerta sanitário, foram reforçados os procedimentos de vigilância epidemiológica. O chefe do Departamento de Higiene e Vigilância Epidemiológica do Ministério da Saúde angolano, Eusébio Manuel, explicou as medidas adoptadas para prevenir a propagação da doença. "Um dos principais sintomas é febre. Muitas das vezes cruzamos nos nossos países, onde a malária é a primeira causa de morte e de doença, suspeitamos sempre como seja malária, mas depois os sintomas secundários vão aparecendo, dias depois. As pessoas apresentam sinais de febre e essa febre pode cruzar-se com astenia, dores musculares, mas são sinais-sintomas que vêm a posteriori. O sinal principal para reconhecimento é a febre. E depois vamos fazendo outros diagnósticos diferenciados. As hemorragias aparecem no quinto, sétimo dia, mas aí é onde ocorre o maior perigo, em que a pessoa esquece-se que está frente a uma doença altamente contagiosa como a doença hemorrágica. Mas nesta fase a pessoa já se envolveu com o doente. Por isso o contágio é muito frequente", referiu. Em Cabo Verde, os resultados provisórios das eleições legislativas apontam para uma vitória do PAICV, liderado por Francisco Carvalho. O partido da oposição conta, até ao momento, com 36 deputados eleitos, enquanto o MpD conquistou 32 assentos parlamentares e a UCID dois deputados. Faltam ainda atribuir dois mandatos, decisivos para determinar se o PAICV alcançará uma maioria relativa ou absoluta. Os resultados definitivos deverão ser conhecidos até 25 de Maio. As eleições ficaram igualmente marcadas por uma taxa de abstenção histórica de 53,3%, revelando que mais de metade dos eleitores não participou no acto eleitoral. A investigadora Roselma Évora considera que este elevado nível de abstenção reflecte o descontentamento da população cabo-verdiana em relação à classe política e às actuais lideranças. " Os cabo-verdianos valorizam profundamente a democracia, mas muitos sentem-se frustrados com a forma como ela funciona na prática. Existe a percepção de que o sistema político está demasiado fechado sobre os partidos e que as oportunidades não chegam de forma igual a todos os cidadãos. Apesar de termos uma Constituição moderna, muitas pessoas acreditam que apenas uma pequena elite ligada aos grandes partidos beneficia verdadeiramente do sistema democrático. Os dados mostram isso claramente: apenas 19% dos cabo-verdianos dizem estar satisfeitos com a democracia. E é legítimo perguntar quem são esses 19%. Na minha opinião, trata-se sobretudo das elites partidárias que têm controlado o poder ao longo dos anos. A elevada abstenção é, portanto, um sintoma antigo de descrença e desconfiança. Muitas pessoas deixaram de se rever nos políticos e nas lideranças actuais. Cabo Verde não está isolado desta tendência mundial de crise de liderança e de afastamento entre cidadãos e representantes políticos", sublinhou.  Na sequência da derrota eleitoral, a direcção nacional do MpD reúne-se esta sexta-feira para analisar os resultados e preparar a convenção extraordinária destinada à escolha do sucessor de Ulisses Correia e Silva. O antigo primeiro-ministro apresentou a demissão após dez anos à frente do Governo e do partido. Paulo Veiga e Orlando Dias já manifestaram publicamente a intenção de disputar a liderança do Movimento para a Democracia. Em Angola, o Presidente João Lourenço recebeu no Palácio Presidencial o líder da UNITA, Adalberto Costa Júnior, para discutir a proposta de pacto para a estabilidade nacional. O documento defendia, entre outros pontos, uma revisão constitucional, reformas políticas e uma amnistia para crimes económicos e financeiros. Depois de analisar a proposta, João Lourenço afirmou não haver fundamento para a sua aprovação, argumentando que pactos desta natureza apenas se justificam em contextos de crise política. Em Paris, na véspera das assembleias-gerais da petrolífera Total e dos bancos Crédit Agricole e Société Générale, a ONG francesa CCFD-Terre Solidaire e a organização moçambicana Justiça Ambiental alertaram para os impactos humanitários e ecológicos dos investimentos franceses em Moçambique. Daniel Ribeiro, da Justiça Ambiental, denunciou os efeitos do projecto liderado pela Total, classificando-o como uma “bomba climática” devido às consequências ambientais associadas à exploração de gás. Já em São Tomé e Príncipe, o agravamento da crise energética levou o chefe do Governo a reunir-se com trabalhadores da Empresa de Água e Electricidade (EMAE) para avaliar soluções urgentes. Apesar da aquisição de novos geradores, os problemas de abastecimento persistem. O sindicato dos trabalhadores da empresa aponta decisões políticas inadequadas como uma das principais causas da actual crise energética no país.

Jay Dardenne – Storytelling the Soul of Louisiana – Why Louisiana Ain’t Mississippi…or Any Place Else!

Discover Lafayette

Few public servants in Louisiana history have worn as many hats, or told as many stories, as Jay Dardenne. Having served as State Senator, Secretary of State, Lieutenant Governor, and Commissioner of Administration under John Bel Edwards, Dardenne has spent decades shaping and promoting the state. But in this conversation, we explore a different dimension of his life: historian, storyteller, and documentarian. Dardenne is the creator and host of Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi or Any Place Else, a production of Louisiana Public Broadcasting that brings Louisiana's complex history to life. What began as a live presentation he started developing in the 1990s has evolved into a widely viewed documentary, what Jay calls “a gumbo of culture, politics, music, and storytelling.” His goal is simple but profound: to help people understand not just what happened in Louisiana, but why it shaped who we are today. His personal connection to Acadiana runs deep. “It is always good to come to Lafayette,” he shares. “I spend a lot of time here growing up because my mother was born here. It's like a second home.” Dardenne's passion for public service began early. Reflecting on his time as student body president at Louisiana State University, he admits the decision to run came “in a moment of weakness,” but it set the stage for a lifelong commitment to leadership. “I think I did want to serve from a young age. I always wanted to be president of this or that. It was kind of a natural move for me to decide to get into politics.” Even today, he remains active in the legal field, working as a mediator and maintaining a practice focused on business matters and estate planning. “I don't want to retire,” he says candidly. At the heart of this episode is Dardenne's deep dive into Louisiana's identity. He emphasizes that Louisiana's influence far exceeds its size: “We punch above our weight as a state. Our influence and our impact on sports, music, politics, art and literature is disproportionate to our size.” His storytelling traces the state's origins from Indigenous civilizations at Poverty Point, a site he notes was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site during his tenure as Lieutenant Governor, to the layered cultural influences of French, Spanish, African, Acadian, and immigrant communities. He walks listeners through the founding of New Orleans by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville and the early French explorers like René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle, highlighting how these forces combined to create what he repeatedly describes as a uniquely Louisiana “gumbo.” The conversation also captures his appreciation for the state's colorful political past. Figures like Huey Long and Dudley LeBlanc loom large in his storytelling, representing a brand of larger-than-life leadership that he believes has faded over time. “We have characters still,” he says, “but we don't have the color that Huey Long and Dudley LeBlanc brought.” Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi… or Any Place Else! Documentary Companion Book showcases the photography of visual documentarian photographer Carol Highsmith. The book takes you on a visual journey across Louisiana, revealing hidden beauty and startling new perspectives of iconic images. It can be purchased at LPB’s website here. Dardenne's work is not just about history, it's about connection. Through humor, he makes complex narratives memorable: “People do remember things that entertain them.” That philosophy has helped his presentation resonate with audiences across generations, even leading to curriculum-based lesson plans for students in grades 6 through 12. Educators, students, and parents now have access to new digital resources that complement learning across multiple areas of study and put Louisiana history and culture center stage! Developed by LPB Education, these free educational resources offer entertaining and informative content for twenty-four curriculum supports. This effort was funded through a dedicated percentage of membership revenues raised by Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi… or Any Place Else! Visit https://whylouisiana.lpb.org/Classroom.html for more information. He also shares insight into his latest documentary project, focused on LSU legend Billy Cannon. The film explores Cannon's life beyond football, including his later work at Louisiana State Penitentiary. “It'll be a football story,” Dardenne explains, “but it'll also be about redemption, what he did at Angola after he was released from prison.” When asked what he is most proud of, Dardenne's answer is deeply personal: “My two sons.” Professionally, however, his guiding principle has remained constant: “I like to leave a place better than I found it.” That ethos extends to his love for Louisiana itself. Despite its challenges, he believes the state's culture and sense of identity keep people rooted here. “We're very self-critical, but nonetheless, this is a place where people want to live. They love the lifestyle. They love who we are.” In this episode, Jay Dardenne reminds us that Louisiana is not easily defined, and that's exactly the point. Through history, humor, and heartfelt reflection, he invites us to see the state not just as a place, but as a living story worth preserving.

In this episode, we sit down with Gerald Perreira, longtime Guyanese anti-imperialist activist, educator, and organizer, for a conversation on Cuba, U.S. power, and the unfinished struggle for true independence in the Caribbean and broader Global South. We unpack the tightening of U.S. pressure on Cuba, including the attack on Cuban medical brigades across the region, and examine why Guyana's recent political decisions represent a historic betrayal of transnational solidarity. From Cuba's lifesaving medical internationalism and its decisive role in defeating apartheid forces in Angola and South Africa, to the erosion of Caribbean sovereignty under neoliberalism, we trace the deeper structures of neocolonialism and empire. Perreira situates today's crises within a broader historical arc: the legacy of plantation economies, the transformation of postcolonial elites into managers of foreign interests, the limits of liberal democracy, and the rise of a global axis of resistance. Gerald A. Perreira is a liberation theologian, educator and political activist. He is chairperson of Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) based in Guyana, a member of the Governing  Council of the Global Pan African Movement (Harare) and an executive member of the Caribbean Pan-African Network (CPAN).
