In the 1930s and 1940s, amid intensifying anticolonial activism across the British Empire, dozens of new West African and Caribbean newspapers printed their first issues. With small staffs and shoestring budgets, these newspapers nonetheless became powerful vehicles for the expression of Black political thought. Drawing on papers from Trinidad, Jamaica, Ghana, and Nigeria, Leslie James shows how the press on both sides of the Atlantic nourished anticolonial and antiracist movements. Editors with varying levels of education, men and women journalists, worker and peasant correspondents, and anonymous contributors voiced incisive critiques of empire and experimented with visions of Black freedom. But as independence loomed, the press transformed to better demonstrate the respectability expected of a self-governing people. Seeing themselves as “the Fourth and Only Estate,” the sole democratic institution available to a colonized population, early press contributors experimented with the form and function of the newspaper itself. They advanced anticolonial goals through clipping and reprinting articles from a variety of sources; drawing on local ways of speaking; and manipulating photography, comics, and advertising. Such unruly content, James shows, served as a strategic assertion of autonomy against colonial bureaucracy. Yet in the 1950s, this landscape changed as press professionalism became a proxy for a colony's capacity to govern itself. Analyzing a key moment in the history of Black Atlantic political thought, The Moving Word: How the West African and Caribbean Press Shaped Black Political Thought, 1935-1960 (Harvard UP, 2025) highlights the boundless, shapeshifting power of experimental media. During the era of decolonization, as independence loomed on the horizon, West African and Caribbean newspapers creatively engineered and reinvented debates about imperialism, racial capitalism, and Black freedom dreams and realities. Leslie James is Reader and Sinor Lecturer in Global History at Queen Mary University of London and the author of George Padmore and Decolonization from Below: Pan-Africanism, the Cold War, and the End of Empire, 1939–1959.

Mon p'tit padawan

From the 1980s through the 2000s, there was a period of growth in militant environmental and animal rights movements. This movement had a radical anti-capitalist politic that went after corporations waging war on the earth, people and animals. It's escalating tactics included property destruction and arson. In response, industry, government and the FBI worked to crack down on these radical movements. This movement needed voices. Leslie James Pickering (@lesliejamespick) was one of a few that worked with the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) Press Office to communicate the message of the anonymous actors engaged in these strategies and tactics to the larger world. In our latest episode, we speak with Leslie James Pickering about his story of supporting radical environmentalists and, in particular, the Earth Liberation Front. We also discuss how the FBI continued to target him long after his ELF press office days. We also talk about how he sees movements around ecology and climate today. And his work at Burning Books creating radical politics, education and infrastructure in Buffalo, NY. Leslie is the former spokesperson for the Earth Liberation Front Press Office, a 20-year target of the FBI, an author and co-owner of Burning Books (@BurningBooks) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Links// Burning Books: https://burningbooks.com/ Leslie's books on PM Press (https://bit.ly/3PIpmzL) Amid protests, fear and rising sales, Buffalo's 'radical bookstore' plans to expand (https://bit.ly/3aRaWyo) NY Times: U.S. Postal Service Logging All Mail for Law Enforcement (https://nyti.ms/3PIpwal) Former Earth Liberation Front spokesman files federal suit for information from FBI (https://bit.ly/3PocIpX) Follow Green and Red// G&R Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast Check out our rad website: https://greenandredpodcast.org/ Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/gHhEsqJs Donate to Green and Red Podcast// Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Last week, part one of our report on Airbnb looked at the home-sharing giant's impact on hotel business performance. We reported on a study that shows for every 100 percent increase in Airbnb accommodations in a market, hotel RevPAR declines by an average 3 percent. We also reported a growth in the number of whole houses on online distribution channels as homes become “investor units.” Meantime, more everyday homeowners have warmed up to the idea of making some extra money by sharing their digs with short-term travelers. This week, in part two, we explore what's good and smart about Airbnb and how hotels can successfully vie for travelers' bookings and loyalty. We also take a look at new lodging trends spurred by the home-sharing movement. We talk to Leslie James, head of marketing at AirDNA, a data research platform for the home-sharing industry. We hear from Paul Breslin of Horwath HTL and Mark Woodworth of CBRE Hotels Americas Research about the new generation of travelers driving the home-sharing trend. We also talk more with Makarand Mody, a researcher and assistant professor at Boston University School of Hospitality Administration who has published several studies about Airbnb and the home-sharing phenomenon. And with Hans Detlefsen of Hotel Appraisers and Advisors, who has ideas about hotel companies adopting some Airbnb business practices.

On our very first episode, Charlotte talks to Dr Leslie James of Queen Mary, University of London about how different ideologies during the Cold War produced their own view and relationship with history.

Here comes another episode featuring one of Singapore's upcoming talents in the DJ scene - Leslie James. Starting from humble beginnings in the bedroom, he starting promoting his music mixes though national radio stations such as on Rico’s Liberation show (91.3 FM) in 2005.With his unique style of intepreting what he calls 'progressive sounds', Leslie had stunned clubbers nationwide behind the decks of numerous nightspots in Singapore, such as Attica, eM Studio, Zouk’s Flea & Easy, Fashion Bar and the now defunct Liquid Room and Cocco Latte. He also emerged as a semi-finalist in the much talked about Juice DJ Quest 2007 held at Phuture (Zouk).His experience in different bar and club settings have led him to explore down-beat electronic music, this alter ego of his is reflected in his productions “The Life of Frankie Wilde” and “Empathy” both of which have since been on rotation on Lush 99.5 FM since early 2007. other productions have also been heard on internet dance radio station danceradio.gr.MySpace: Leslie JamesMySpace: Stellar MusicDownload as mp3Subscribe to this podcast with iTunesSubscribe via your RSS reader
