Podcast appearances and mentions of Lynn M Thomas

Did you know all southerners aren't racist? A southerner is telling you that, and that too, all northerners are (& were) not pacifistic abolitionists.? It's true, sadly, and has always been so.. in this episode, you're directed to remember: the injustices of the past lay in the eye of the beholder. Where were YOU taught about slavery? In the North? Or South? What were you told about segregation? Did you know it existed in both the North & the South? Even in hatred, literal dissension, this country banded together (once again) as Americans, against one peoples: FREED African American men, women, & especially children. Today, many refuse to take ownership for the color of their skin. There are generations alive to this day, who participated in, encouraged, or even idly stood by… spectating as their fellow “American” was beaten, whipped, shot, dragged, & hanged. The same generations who deny that racism has ever been or remains today, systemic. But we're not all on the right side. Figuratively, the beholder always sees differently; we call that “being [an] American.” And physically, many of us… consider ourselves trapped: on the wrong side of history. Our past will not define us, but in adulthood we make a conscious decision to remain there. SOUTH: Where the past made/makes us family to “slave owners,” or fodder for the ignorant: call it a cookie, rather. NORTH: Where most believe the historical majority didn't want slavery in America; where racism is passive-aggression at its finest. And then there's the rest of us: those who know history, hate our history, embarrassed by our history, and refuse… REFUSE to perpetrate the lie(s) that the slavery of American history does not live and breathe today. We refuse to permit bigotry into office, we refuse to accept ignorance in our leadership, & we refuse to stop fighting for reparation. We, both colored and non, refuse to further a narrative that says we are not accountable for our forefathers beliefs and actions. We instead, believe that acknowledgment is the ONLY preventative measure against NATIONAL genocide. **Episode cover art collected from a Google search of “skin history,” and credit is given to the author (Lynn M.

Amira Adawe interviewed Dr. Lynn M Thomas on her skin-lightening research in South Africa and her recently published book "Beneath the Surface: A Transnational History of Skin Lighteners".

By 2024, global sales of skin lighteners are projected to reach more than $30 billion. Despite the planetary scale of its use, skin lightening remains a controversial cosmetic practice. Lynn M. Thomas’ new book, Beneath the Surface: A Transnational History of Skin Lighteners (Duke University Press, 2020), investigates what she calls its “layered history.” Focused principally on South Africa, the book quickly makes evident how closely connected skin lightening is to the history of the United States and other parts of the African continent. Over the course of the twentieth century, and particularly in the context of minority rule in South Africa, skin lighteners have raised thorny debates about race, respectability and self-regard. Thomas examines these questions but shows how class and gender intersect with race to complicate our understanding of who brightens, and why. A complex history of capitalism, medicine, media and technology informs Thomas’ intimate portrayal of these perilous cosmetics. Beneath the Surface is a deeply social history of a singularly fraught commodity. Dr. Elisa Prosperetti teaches African and global history at SciencesPo Paris. Her research focuses on the connected histories of education and development in postcolonial West Africa. Contact her at www.elisaprosperetti.net. Learn more about your ad choices.

The time has come, the wombat said, to introduce a new test subject. The Wombat Test Subject won't be going anywhere (I suppose she is now the Wombat Co-Host?), but we will be starting to work with the Teenage Test Subject, my son Jacob,  who is starting his Junior year of High School. After that, we have an interview with the Space Unicorns themselves, Lynne M. & Michael Damian Thomas, publisher and editor of Uncanny Magazine!
