Dr. Isenberg also serves as the medical director of Providence's women's brain health program. In our discussion, we delved into the topic of primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, which have been making headlines due to recent diagnoses of two well-known personalities, Bruce Willis and Wendy Williams. We sought out Dr. Isenberg to address the pressing questions we knew you would be curious about.If you would like additional information on primary progressive aphasia or frontotemporal dementia, here are the links to a couple of organizations Dr. Isenberg mentioned in our conversation with her.Homepage - The National Aphasia AssociationAFTD - The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (theaftd.org) 

David Waldstreicher's The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley: A Poet's Journeys Through American Slavery and Independence offers the fullest account to date of Wheatley's life and works. Seized in West Africa and forced into slavery as a child, Wheatley became a noted poet at a young age.

In an effort to make urban American understand rural America, particularly since the 2016 election, books about rural America have become almost a genre unto themselves. Works by J.D. Vance, Sarah Smarsh, Nancy Isenberg, James Fallows, Sara Kendzior and Nichols Kristoff, and others, have cast a class driven and almost apologetic eye on rural America. Certainly much is wrong there. In part as a result of years of external change and neglect at the hands of public policy makers. Places and towns where “everybody knows your names,” are no longer appreciated or reflective of the values that they injected into the nation's DNA. But there really are things they can still teach us. Especially if we look at the best of what these towns have to offer, not the worst. What happens when young people choose to stay? When those with gifts and talent choose to redirect it into their community, rather than spend their intellectual capital in the attempt to escape. It's not a choice for all in places like Downeast, Maine, but it's good that it's a choice for some. Those are the one that Gigi Georges introduces us to in debut book Downeast: Five Maine Girls and the Unseen Story of Rural America    My Conversation with Gigi Georges:

It all comes back to the Hapsburgs! Illustrator and graphic designer Leah Felicity Lucci tells Val about her fascination with the genetic story of the Hapsburg royal family, and how that lead to a research hole about eugenics, racism, and anti-Semitism and inspired her sketchbook project These are Not My Ancestors. SHOW NOTES: There is an article in The Atlantic about the layered “erased” writing of monks in the Middle Ages called The Age of Erasable Books. A palimpsest is a word for parchment on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing but of which traces remain. Type that word into google image search for lots of examples. To view some examples of Mannerist art, search for The Vision of St. John by El Greco or Madonna with the Long Neck by Parmigianino. The Do you know the Muffin Man? Pic can be found on Leah's instagram at https://www.instagram.com/p/CNyAAZKnjk-/ 23&Me wrote a concise summary of the Habsburg inbreeding problem.

Hoy ampliamos el debate respecto al progreso. Generalmente, se establece una narrativa en la que el progreso ha sido lineal, constante y siempre creciente durante la historia de la humanidad. Sin embargo, esto tiene más de fabricación narrativa, de relato que nos contamos a nosotros mismos, más que otra cosa. En la historia ha habido periodos oscuros. También civilizaciones que se degradan, entran en decadencia y desaparecen. La humanidad podría progresar y tú quedarse en la estacada; la involución siempre es una posibilidad, y si no que le pregunten a Ciudadanos. ¿En qué momento se encuentra nuestra civilización? ¿Cómo definimos el progreso? ¿Hacia dónde avanzamos y hacia dónde creemos que avanzamos? Como decía aquel, "el mañana nunca llega hasta que es demasiado tarde". Con Con @desempleado666, @Shine_McShine e y @iracundoisidoro. Conduce @TxusMarcano.

How do we stay thankful in the middle of a pandemic, protests, politics, and problems? Truly we are bombarded by forecasts of hurricanes, virus and cancer diagnoses, and job loss. Being thankful RESETS our focus beyond burdens of life to the blessings of right now. There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast Every month I post an Ask Me Anything Thread over on the Patreon for the podcast at Patreon.com/permaculturepodcast. Most of the time these threads are about design and plants, like the best time to transplant Elderberry. Sometimes we get away from permaculture and a question will come up like, What is my favorite Halloween Candy? To which the answer is anything with chocolate and peanuts, whether that's the whole legume or peanut-butter. In the AMA for October 2020, however, Joey asked something different. Their question was, “Do you have an opinion on the recent debate between Joel Salatin and Chris Newman of Sylvanaqua farms concerning racism and land access?”     Their question was, “Do you have an opinion on the recent debate between Joel Salatin and Chris Newman of Sylvanaqua farms concerning racism and land access?” If you'd asked me even a few years ago if race was an issue with land access, I would have said no. The issue for me then wasn't race, but socioeconomic or class divide. Most of us were just too poor to buy any appreciable amount of land as wealth gets concentrated into the hands of developers and speculators, who could buy up the large chunks for cash and sell back ever smaller parcels at even higher prices for people who wanted a suburban or rural homesite. I saw this time and time again in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, my home from 1996 - 2007, as I knew several people with family farms that were offered millions of dollars for land that was later turned into developments. This same pattern repeated itself when I relocated to Harrisurg, Pennsylvania, as the price per acre climbed to $100,000 or more. Now living outside of Washington, D.C. undeveloped land here goes for over $1,000,000 an acre, if you can find any for sale. Even if you do find something less expensive, you are going to be a long way away from a market where you can sell your goods. Even here in Falls Church, Virginia, the farmer's market is populated by some farmers who travel two-hours one-way for the pop-up Saturday market where customers are willing to pay $6 for a dozen organic eggs or for two portobello mushrooms, and $8 for a quart of yogurt.  Through this lens of class and the concentration of wealth I came to read White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg in 2018, which challenged my ideas about race and inter-generational wealth as it relates to class. Then the work of urban planner Jeff Speck, who I interviewed earlier this year, expressed concerns about the displacement (gentrification) which occurs with development that disproportionately impacts people of color. Jeff suggested The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein, which added clarity to why this is the case. For generations in the United States—with roots in the enslavement of people, red-lining of properties to exclude Black people from government services, and Black exclusion laws in the origins of Oregon—people of color have had less access to property and land. When and where property was available, the land was marginal compared to what whites could purchase, and at an increased price compared to white mortgages.  Because of those readings and by becoming aware of the systemic policies, both tacit and explicit, which existed and continue to exist within this society, I agree with Chris's perspective that agriculture in America has been guided by racist processes. Land, wealth, and the ability to grow food have been excluded to BIPOC (black and indigenous people of color) folks for generations. Whereas white farmers can regularly inherit their family farms across generations—and Joel Salatin is clear he inherited his farm from his family—Black, and indigenous farmers rarely have this possibility and instead, like Chris Newman, must exist on rented land.  But, those are just my thoughts on Race and Land Access in America. If you have an opinion, leave a comment or get in touch by sending me an email: The Permaculture Podcast. Until the next time, spend each day exploring how to decolonize permaculture, while taking care of Earth, yourself, and each other.

In this episode I sit down and talk to nationally touring comedian Jon Carden, Jon is one of the comedians I look up to in the comedy scene. I had a great time discussing the specific topic of class dynamics in America with Jon and the book White Trash by Nancy Isenberg, we stumbled upon our mutual interest for obscure topics such as this on one of our pre-show patio chats and I am glad that we got to talk on the podcast. There were a lot of funny anecdotes about the history of the so-called ‘White Trash' people in America and also the current White Trash culture. Jon talks about his life experience growing up in trailer parks and picking tobacco on a farm as a child. All in all a very engaging and informative conversation with Jon.

Historian and prolific author Dr. Andrew Burstein discusses the book, he co-authored with Dr. Nancy Isenberg, on John Adams and John Quincy Adams. He describes the problems that both Adams had with the two-party system that developed in the early days of the Republic. He details the historic events that John Adams and John Quincy Adams were involved in and how that impacted their philosophy. Dr. Burstein explains the fear JA and JQA had with the development of the cult of personality surrounding Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Andrew Jackson which they considered a real threat to American democracy. He describes the challenges that both John Adams and John Quincy Adams had as president and the combative political environment that developed. He finishes with a perspective on the basic principles that defined Adamsian Democracy.HOST: Rob MellonFEATURED BREW: Sam 76', Samuel Adams, Boston, MABOOK: The Problem of Democracy: The Presidents Adams Confront the Cult of Personalityhttps://www.amazon.com/Problem-Democracy-Presidents-Confront-Personality/dp/0525557504MUSIC: Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

I’ve been preaching … about submitting. Any Christian can form an opinion based on the Bible; it takes a special breed to know when to let it go.I’ve been reading …Fallen Founder, by Nancy Isenberg. Maybe there really is another side to the Aaron Burr story, but a book like this one isn’t likely to convince me.I’ve been hearing … there’s a racism problem in the Lord’s church. I don’t doubt it’s true. But I doubt the best solution is to label thousands of strangers as racists.I’ve been playing … in game cafes. Play for hours on end in a safe, clean environment, and all I have to do is buy something? Count me in.

Earlier this summer, historians Nancy Isenberg and Andrew Burstein visited the National Constitution Center to discuss their new book 'The Problem of Democracy: The Presidents Adams Confront the Cult of Personality'. Professors Isenberg and Burstein, both of Louisiana State University, discussed the lives and political careers of father and son presidents John and John Quincy Adams, and explored the politics of personality in early America. They sat down with Lana Ulrich, senior director of content at the National Constitution Center.  Questions or comments about the podcast? Email us at podcast@constitutioncenter.org.

Historians Nancy Isenberg and Andrew Burstein recall the Presidents Adams as independent-minded intellectuals with significant, moral courage who confront the cult of personality in their book, "The Problem of Democracy."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John and John Quincy Adams: rogue intellectuals, unsparing truth-tellers, too uncensored for their own political good. They held that political participation demanded moral courage. They did not seek popularity (it showed). They lamented the fact that hero worship in America substituted idolatry for results; and they made it clear that they were talking about Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson. When John Adams succeeded George Washington as President, his son had already followed him into public service and was stationed in Europe as a diplomat. Though they spent many years apart--and as their careers spanned Europe, Washington DC, and their family home south of Boston--they maintained a close bond through extensive letter writing, debating history, political philosophy, and partisan maneuvering.The Problem of Democracy: The Presidents Adams Confront the Cult of Personality is an urgent problem; the father-and-son presidents grasped the perilous psychology of politics and forecast what future generations would have to contend with: citizens wanting heroes to worship and covetous elites more than willing to mislead. Rejection at the polls, each after one term, does not prove that the presidents Adams had erroneous ideas. Intellectually, they were what we today call "independents," reluctant to commit blindly to an organized political party. No historian has attempted to dissect their intertwined lives as Nancy Isenberg and Andrew Burstein do in these pages, and there is no better time than the present to learn from the American nation's most insightful malcontents.-Nancy Isenberg is the T. Harry Williams Professor of American History at Louisiana State University, and the author of the New York Times bestseller White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, and two award-winning books, Fallen Founder: The Life of Aaron Burr and Sex and Citizenship in Antebellum America.

Talk show hosts are driving the agenda of US policy and not a day goes by that we don’t hear talk about more celebrities running for office The membrane that separates news, governance, and entertainment has all but disappeared and efforts to raise any conversation above the noise drives our celebrity culture. The debate about this goes to the core of our democratic system. The question of whether we will have to change our system or our change our culture is a legitimate open question. It’s also one that our framers viewed 140 years ago. Nancy Isenberg and Andrew Burstein talk to me The Problem of Democracy: The Presidents Adams Confront the Cult of Personality. about it and about their book My conversation with Nancy Isenberg and Andrew Burstein:

This week, we’re following up with the Golden State Killer, we’re witnessing Bill Gates drink literal feces, and we’ll analyze the #Resistance’s breakdown. In terrible takes, we’ll see who was more tasteless: was it Michelle Wolf, at the White House Correspondents Dinner or Donald Trump at the Paralympics? In our literacy campaign, we’re talking about Nancy Isenberg’s White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, and Patton Oswalt’s Silver Screen Fiend. In pop culture, Meek Mill’s release was a bright spot in an otherwise bleak week in which Bill Cosby was finally convicted of crimes he committed years ago, Tina Brown received a pitch for a #MeToo rehabilitation show featuring Charlie Rose, and Kanye West revealed his shared “dragon energy” with Donald Trump. Please note that this episode was recorded before Kanye said anything about slavery or the holocaust, so that’s why we didn’t talk about it.

An explosive exposé of the man and the ideas behind the well-heeled right's relentless campaign to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize public education, change the Constitution, and curb democratic majority rule
 
DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America By Nancy MacLean 
“An erudite, searing portrait of how the late political economist James McGill Buchanan (1919–2013) and his deep-pocketed conservative allies have reshaped—and undermined—American democracy…. A thoroughly researched and gripping narrative… [MacLean] has delivered another deeply important book that will interest general readers and scholars alike. Her work here is a feat of American intellectual and political history.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review “For those who think the Tea Party, Freedom Caucus, and the alt-right are recent constructs, MacLean provides an extensive history lesson that traces the genesis of the right wing back to post-WWII doctrines…. A worthy companion to Jane Mayer’s Dark Money, MacLean’s intense and extensive examination of the right-wing’s rise to power is perhaps the best explanation to date of the roots of the political divide that threatens to irrevocably alter American government.” —Booklist, Starred Review “A chilling portrait of an arrogant, uncompromising, and unforgiving man, stolid in his mission to ‘save capitalism from democracy.’ … An unsettling exposé of the depth and breadth of the libertarian agenda.” —Kirkus Reviews “It’s happening: the subversion of our democratic system from within. How did the political Right do it? Nancy MacLean tells the long-overlooked story of the political economist who developed the playbook for the Koch brothers. James McGill Buchanan merged states rights’ thinking with free market principles and helped to fashion the inherently elitist ideology of today’s Republican Party. Professor MacLean’s meticulous research and shrewd insights make this a must-read for all who believe in government ‘by the people.’”
—Nancy Isenberg, author of White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America The Republican Party of today bears very little resemblance to the GOP of the past. What was once a movement to limit federal “overreach” in favor of individual and states’ rights has transformed into a concerted effort to curb democratic rule in favor of capitalist interests at every level of government, whatever the consequences. To many longtime Republicans, the party seems to have lost touch with their concerns, but to a powerful minority, it’s marching ever closer to the ultimate goal of reshaping the Constitution to protect moneyed interests. This gradual takeover of a major political party happened over several decades, and often in plain sight, but the true architects of this plan and their ultimate aim have never been fully exposed—until now. Nancy MacLean’s DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America (A Viking Hardcover; On Sale June 13, 2017) blows open the doors to the unknown history of the relentless campaign by the radical rich to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize everything from schools to Medicare and Social Security, and change the Constitution. MacLean traces this game plan back to one man, the Nobel Prize-winning political economist James McGill Buchanan, who forged his ideas in an attempt to preserve the white elite’s power in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education. Painstakingly researched over ten years with unprecedented access to Buchanan’s personal files, DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS explores the genesis of this new radical right, from its beginnings in academia to the eventual embrace and financial backing of the billionaire Charles Koch. From his research centers, first at the University of Virginia and later at George Mason University, Buchanan developed a long-term strategy to prevent those of us without great property or power from using the democratic process to enact meaningful change. Jane Mayer’s Dark Money followed the money behind the rise of the radical right; DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS follows the ideas, exposing the intellectual arguments that Koch and company embraced and applied in their quest for an operational strategy to entrench the power of the wealthy. This is a frightening, important book, and required reading for voters on either side of party lines. For Democrats, it’s immensely important to understand the opposition’s motivations and the logic of its tactics and ultimate endgame. For Republicans, it’s an eye-opening look at the appropriation of their political party by a messianic wealthy elite. Using the architects’ own words and predictions, MacLean creates a chilling portrait of what is in store for the country should this movement succeed. As much of America (and the world) reels from a seemingly unexpected swing to populism and far-right rhetoric, DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS offers a peek behind the curtain to reveal just how we got here and what the future will hold.

At a press conference on Thursday, President Trump was openly dismissive of elites in the media, in politics, and in intelligence circles. At one point he said: “I ran for president to represent the citizens of our country. I am here to change the broken system so it serves their families and their communities well. I am talking — and really talking on this very entrenched power structure, and what we’re doing is we’re talking about the power structure; we’re talking about its entrenchment.” FAKE NEWS media, which makes up stories and "sources," is far more effective than the discredited Democrats - but they are fading fast! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017 The anti-establishment/anti-elitism rhetoric worked for him in the campaign and may help him hold on to his supporters after a tumultuous week at the White House. On this episode of Indivisible: What does the coded word “elite” really stand for? Intellectual snob? Rich, out-of-touch, liberal? Fat-cat Wall Street banker? In an age of global populism, all of the above are fair game for politicians trying to connect with angry voters. MPR News host Kerri Miller and her guests dig into why wealth, education and power are at once the hallmarks of the American Dream and the subject of our collective ire. Kerri is joined by Stephen Prothero, Chair of the Department of Religion at Boston University and author of “Why Liberals Win the Culture Wars” and Nancy Isenberg, historian and author of “White Trash: The 400 Year Untold History of Class in America.” Do you think the term "elites" has taken on a negative meaning in today's political climate? #IndivisibleRadio — MPR News (@MPRnews) February 17, 2017 Here are some tweets from this episode: Indivisible Week 4: (Mis)Understanding the Elites

In White Trash: The 400-year Untold History of Class in America, historian Nancy Isenberg traces white poverty and class from the earliest British settlements through to the 21st century. What she finds is that the mythology of social mobility and classlessness of American Exceptionalism is just that, a myth. By taking a deep dive into a sub-class of Americans, Isenberg hopes that Americans can face a truth about the enduring poverty on inequality that has shaped the American consciousness. That not only do we have classes, but these classes have been built by policies going back to the very reason British citizens came to the colonies. Our discussion of the book looks at where this history contributes to our current political conversation and where it could have been more focused to tell the story in a more cohesive way.
