On this edition of Parallax Views, Aaron J. Leonard joins us to discuss the new revised and updated edition of his and Conor A. Gallagher book Heavy Radicals: The FBI's Secret War on America's Maoists: The Revolutionary Union/Revolutionary Communist Part 1968-1980. We delve into the radical left-wing politics of the late 1960s into the 1970s and the influence of Mao Tse-Tung's variant on communist thought on American radicals as well as how revolutionary groups in the U.S. applied theory and praxis in their operations at the time. This leads us into discussions of figures like H. Bruce Franklin as well as the infamous Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (RCP). It is well-known that the post-WWII era saw the intelligence community become very concerned about radical left-wing politics, specifically the activities of communist groups, in the U.S. during the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Much has been made of J. Edgar Hoover, the House on Un-American Activities Committee, and COINTELPRO in this regard. But Aaron specifically focuses on the FBI's counterintelligence operations against Maoist groups. We discuss the "dirty tricks" that were used against these groups by the FBI at this time. We discuss FBI informant recruiting in the time as well as the specific players involved in activities against U.S.-based Maoist groups. Aaron names names and gives insight into FBI actions against left-wing radical groups in the United States post-Hoover. Additionally Aaron and I discuss the Black Panthers, the media vs. radical activities, the labor movement, conspiracy theories vs. systemic analysis, the evangelical couple that sought to help the FBI by infiltrating the Revolutionary Union, W. Mark Felt (the man who confessed to being "Deep Throat" in the Nixon-era Watergate saga in 2005), the FBI report that referred to the RCP as a "threat of the first magnitude" to the U.S., the concept of the deep state and why Aaron believes there is just the State rather than deep state, the JFK Records Act and how the files released from that has value beyond the questions surrounding the Kennedy assassination itself (ie: files on Fred Hampton, Bob Dylan, etc.), how do you read and evaluate FBI files?, the Fair Play for Cuba Committe, the CIA and Richard Gibson (Codename: Sugar), Donald Wright, why is Maoism neglected when looking at the history of the New Left?, COINTELPRO and the Ad Hoc Commitee, the FBI's war against radical folk musicians and Aaron's latest books Whole World in an Uproar: Music, Rebellion and Repression – 1955-1972 and The Folk Singers and the Bureau: The FBI, the Folk Artists and the Suppression of the Communist Party, USA-1939-1956, Pete Seeger and the radical nature of much 20th century folk music, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and what Aaron refers to as the "soft revocation" of FOIA, and more.
Greg Marchildon interviews Donald Wright on his history of Canada, the only book on Canada included in Oxford University Press's Very Short Introduction series which boasts 650 books. Wright describes the reasoning behind his thematic organization of his book into six short and highly thematic chapters. The six themes – beginnings, dispossessions, nationalisms, rights, borders and norths – reflect the view that there can never be one history or one narrative of Canada. The second aspect of Wright's approach is to weave in the stories of individual Canadians to bring to life the historical narrative within each of the six themes. Learn more about your ad choices.

For many years scholars made assumptions about how Europeans traded with West Africans for other, enslaved Africans, about how many voyages were made by slave ships to the English colonies in North America before 1808, and about why the institution of slavery almost died out in New England. Beginning in the late 1960s, however, a movement began that challenged these assumptions and the viewpoints of generations of Euro-centric scholars began to give way to work by data-driven historians.Dr. Donald Wright, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York College at Cortland, is one of the historians who was part of this sea change in scholarship. He spent decades writing about African history, beginning as graduate student collecting oral histories in Gambia, as well as African American history, and Atlantic history. His books include Oral Traditions from the Gambia and African Americans in the Colonial Era: From African Origins Through the American Revolution.This week Walter Edgar talks with Donald Wright about the myths about and some of the hard facts of the Atlantic slave trade.
In this last episode of the season, I chat with Dr. Donald Wright. Don is a Canadian historian at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, a small city in Atlantic Canada. His research interests include Canadian political, intellectual, and cultural history. For this episode, Don and I will be talking about his book Canada: A Very Short Introduction , which is a book he published as part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introduction series.His research interests include Canadian political, intellectual, and cultural history. His first book, The Professionalization of History in English Canada, looks at the transition from amateur historians working outside the university in the nineteenth century to professional historians, with advanced degrees, working inside the university. His second book was a biography of Donald Creighton, English Canada's leading historian. Working with two colleagues, he next published an edited volume called Symbols of Canada which includes essays on, among other symbols, the beaver, hockey, and maple syrup and how these symbols have been used and how they have changed over time. He is now working on a book about the Canadian historian Ramsay Cook, 1931-2016, although like everyone else, he has been slowed by the pandemic.An award-winning teacher, Don teaches courses in Canadian and American history and in the politics of climate change.When he isn't at his desk or in the classroom, Don likes to trail run with his black lab named Bruce and listen to podcasts on history, politics, and climate change.***Bio: https://www.unb.ca/faculty-staff/directory/arts-fr-political-science/wright-donald.html***Artwork by Nacer Ahmadi: IG @x.filezzzAudio by TwistedLogix

UNB professor Donald Wright has expertise in American politics. He shares thoughts on how this election compares to the last time the U-S was embroiled in legal battle to determine the outcome of the presidential race the 2000 Bush/Gore election
The United States may be on track for another prolonged legal battle to determine the presidency. Political scientist Donald Wright explains the situation and what lessons can be learned from the past.
Um pouco mais de 30 milhões de eleitores tanzanianos (sobre uma população de 58 milhões de habitantes) foram chamados hoje às urnas para escolher os seus deputados mas também o seu Presidente. Na corrida à magistratura suprema estão 15 candidatos, entre os quais o presidente cessante, John Magufuli, que briga um segundo mandato, o seu principal rival sendo Tundo Lissu que denunciou desde já irregularidades neste escrutínio. No poder desde 2015, aos 60 anos aquele que responde à alcunha de "Bulldozer" disputa um novo mandato de 5 anos com as cores do "Chama Cha Mapinduzi" (CCM - Partido da Revolução), partido que tem estado sempre no poder desde a independência do país em 1961. Do outro lado do xadrez político, o seu mais sério adversário é o opositor Tundo Lissu, candidato do Chadema (Partido para a Democracia e o Progresso) que, após um exílio de três anos subsequente a uma tentativa de assassinato, regressou há alguns meses para fazer frente a um Chefe de Estado que tem sido acusado de deriva autoritária. Apesar de um balanço económico saudado internacionalmente, com previsões de crescimento de 1,9% este ano, o Presidente cessante que destaca igualmente a luta contra a corrupção, a extensão da educação gratuita ou ainda o lançamento de novas infra-estruturas, não tem deixado de ser isento de críticas. Neste quadro que faz figura de excepção em plena pandemia, o poder de John Magufuli tem precisamente ocultado a situação da covid-19 no país. Ainda no passado mês de Junho, o Presidente declarou que "o vírus tinha sido totalmente eliminado por Deus graças às orações dos tanzanianos". Os detractores do Chefe de Estado também apontam o recuo dos Direitos Humanos, as detenções de activistas e jornalistas, a eliminação física de opositores, a proibição de encontros políticos fora dos períodos eleitorais, bem como o encerramento de jornais. Neste contexto, a oposição expressou ainda hoje receios de que o processo eleitoral possa não ser totalmente justo, ao destacar nomeadamente que vários membros da Comissão Eleitoral foram directamente nomeados pelo Presidente. Ainda ontem, em vésperas das eleições, o próprio embaixador americano no país, Donald Wright declarou na rede Twitter ter ficado "alarmado com informações provenientes de Zanzibar e outros pontos do país, sobre violências mortes e detenções". Com efeito, no caso específico de Zanzibar, ontem a oposição acusou as forças de segurança de terem abatido 10 pessoas, o que a polícia desmentiu. Neste arquipélago semi-autónomo dirigido pelo partido que também está no poder a nível central, os eleitores foram consultados hoje para eleger o seu próprio executivo e o seu parlamento, numa altura em que a oposição independentista tem vindo a ganhar protagonismo. Ao fazer uma radiografia pouco auspiciosa da situação vivenciada nos últimos cinco anos pela Tanzânia, Silvério Ronguane, professor e Vice-Reitor da Universidade São Tomás de Moçambique, mostra-se pouco optimista quanto ao desfecho do processo eleitoral desta quarta-feira. "Quando um povo está acostumado a uma relativa democracia, ao respeito das liberdades fundamentais, quando se rompe isto em nome de um nacionalismo e em nome da economia, isto não nos augura boas coisas", considera o investigador.
