Join Eden, Meghna, and Abi today for a rich discussion with the lovely Katerina Jeng. They touch on everything from Katerina's debut poetry collection 'Gospel of a Whole Sun', to the concept of freedom dreaming (Prof. Robin Kelley) for sustainable and enjoyable resistance, to the importance of centering love, rest, and friendship in our protest, to the challenges of pursuing a career in the arts as an Asian kid. Be sure to pick up a copy of ‘Gospel of a Whole Sun' from your local bookstore. You won't regret it (we promise). Check out Katerina's website here: https://www.katerinajeng.com And follow them on Instagram at @katerinajeng Notes: In this episode, Katerina mentions Tricia Hersey's book, ‘Rest Is Resistance'. They also paraphrase Dr Bayo Akomolafe, who said 'the times are urgent, let's slow down'.
In this program, Robin D. G. Kelley, Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA, examines how police in the neoliberal era–in tandem with other state and corporate entities—have become engines of capital accumulation, government revenue, gentrification, the municipal bond market, the tech and private security industry—in a phrase, the profits of death. Kelley argues the police don't just take lives; they make life and living less viable for the communities they occupy. The growth of police power has also fundamentally weakened democracy and strengthened “thanatocracy”—rule by death– especially with respect to Black communities. Kelley says these same communities have produced a new abolition democracy, organizing to advance a different future, without oppression and exploitation, war, poverty, prisons, police, borders, the constraints of imposed gender, sexual, and ableist norms, and an economic system that destroys the planet while generating obscene inequality.

What would it take to get Biden to decline the nomination? Polls about the opinion of the Democratic rank-and-file; the views of Democratic senators and House members–those in danger of losing their seats and political careers—and Biden's own circle, for whom the crucial factor will be their assessment of his legacy. Harold Meyerson comments. Also: Marc Cooper argues that the narrative for Joe Biden's campaign has now been set: he's “too old.” And the Supreme Court decision on immunity for Trump makes it essential that he be defeated. Kamala Harris would be the choice of the party establishment, if Biden agreed to step aside; at the convention, she might be nominated by acclamation, without a vote among alternative choices. Plus: UCLA historian Robin Kelley talks about the music of Thelonious Monk – and his book: "Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original" – PLAYLIST: “‘Round Midnight,” “Well You Needn't,” “Straight No Chaser,” “Sweet and Lovely” – 1947 Blue Note sessions.

An ode to the small, the banal, the overlooked things that make up the fabric of our lives.Most of our stories are about the big stuff: Important or dramatic events, big ideas that transform the world around us or inspire conflict and struggle and change. But most of our lives, day by day or hour by hour, are made up of … not that stuff. Most of our lives are what we sometimes dismissively call “small potatoes.” This week on Radiolab, Heather Radke challenges to focus on the small, the overlook, the everyday … and find out what happens when you take a good hard look at the things we all usually overlook.Special thanks to Moeko Fujii, Kelley Conway, Robin Kelley, Jason Isaacs, and Andrew SemansEPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Heather Radke, Rachael Cusick, and Matt Kieltywith help from - Erica HeilmanProduced by - Annie McEwen and Matt KieltyOriginal music and sound design contributed by - Annie McEwen, Matt Kielty, and Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Emily Krieger and Diane Kellyand Edited by - Alex NeasonEPISODE CITATIONS:Audio -Check out Ian Chillag's podcast, Everything is Alive, from Radiotopia.Museums -Learn more about The Museum of Everyday Life, located in Glover, Vermont, here.Newsletter - Heather Radke has a newsletter all about small potatoes.

The legendary thinker and radical historian Robin DG Kelley joins us to discuss the importance of the radical imagination and the history of workers' writing. Kelley is author of many books on the history of labour and anti-racist struggles, and about luminary proletarian creative figures. These include: Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination, Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class, and Africa Speaks, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times. In this conversation, Kelley explains how, in the face of corporate and capitalist power, which has never failed to mobilize racism, working people have consistently turned to the written word as a tool of solidarity and a means to demand a different future. In an age of digital capitalism where corporations like Amazon dominate the market for books, films and other "content," reclaiming the power to create and share works of the imagination are more important than ever. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Kelley * http://www.beacon.org/Freedom-Dreams-P1855.aspx The Workers' Speculative Society is a research podcast about the world Amazon is building and the workers, writers and communities that are demanding a different future. It is part of the Worker as Futurist Project, which supports rank-and-file Amazon workers to write speculative fiction about "The World After Amazon. It is hosted by Xenia Benivolski, Max Haiven, Sarah Olutola, and Graeme Webb and is an initiative of RiVAL: The ReImagining Value Action Lab, with support from the Social Sciences a Humanities Research Council of Canada.

In a recent book on the ongoing relevance of Walter Rodney's work, Karim F. Hirji notes that, “as with scores of progressive intellectuals and activists of the past, the prevailing ideology functions to relegate Rodney into the deepest, almost unreachable, ravines of memory. A person who was widely known is now a nonentity, a stranger to the youth in Africa and the Caribbean” and the U.S. Rodney's theoretical and practical contributions to the socialist movement warrant an ongoing engagement with his life story and major texts. Rodney's most recent, posthumously-published text, The Russian Revolution: A View from the Third World, offers an important perspective on the time period in which it was written and the internal position of the author. Rodney's family worked with Robin Kelley in taking Walter's extensive lecture notes on the Russian revolutionary era and forming them into a complete manuscript. This essay, which complements our new study guide on The Russian Revolution, offers a brief overview of Rodney's background historical context. Highlighting aspects of Rodney's individual life demonstrates that his commitments were not just the result of his own individual experiences and conclusions, but were part of and emerged from the revolutionary crisis ripping through the world at the time. To better comprehend A View from the Third World, we turn to Groundings with My Brothers, which Rodney produced as a relatively new professor in Jamaica. In that book, Rodney reflects on the dialectical pedagogy he developed to make his academic labor part of the global movement against capitalist imperialism, which he also called the white power structure.

"The 1619 Project" miniseries on Hulu sets a new standard for documentaries about Black life and history in America: Robin Kelley explains. Also Black history, banned in Florida—and excluded from the College Board's recommended AP Black Studies course. Robin is one of the historians whose work has been targeted. Also: the Royal Family and “The Crown”– you know, Queen Elizabeth and Charles and Diana, and the Netflix series about them. Gary Younge explains why he loathes the monarchy in Britain, but loved “The Crown” on Netflix.Plus: Should the Supreme Court base its decisions on what it can discern about the original intent of the framers? That's what the “originalists” say – and they dominate today's court. Erwin Chemerinsky disagrees. He's dean of the law school at UC Berkeley and author of many books, most recently “Worse Than Nothing: The Dangerous Fallacy of Originalism.”

Love and imagination, potentially the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of the oppressed, the marginalized, and the exploited, are frequently unappreciated, too often underutilized—and yet still within reach and entirely available. Robin D.G. Kelley foregrounds love, imagination, and generosity in all of his work, including the groundbreaking https://bookshop.org/books/freedom-dreams-twentieth-anniversary-edition-the-black-radical-imagination-9780807007037/9780807007037?gclid=Cj0KCQjw7KqZBhCBARIsAI-fTKJegtoNeXn1PgHQVxweACej2F2xa9y_ISp-_ylFjukdI_IE-DgnBRsaAtcTEALw_wcB (Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination,) an original history of Black radicalism and a powerful vision of a revolutionary future. Kelley describes himself as a "Marxist surrealist feminist who is not just anti something, but pro-emancipation, pro-liberation.” We met up with Robin Kelley recently at the Socialism 2022 conference in Chicago where we released our radical imaginations in a generative and wide-ranging conversation.

Originally produced and aired in 2016...: The great political theorist, cultural philosopher, revolutionary, C. L. R. James once said that he is black, number one, because he is against what they have done and are still doing to us; and number two, he has something to say about the new society to be built because he has a tremendous part in that which they have sought to discredit.— C. L. R. James, C. L. R. James: His Life and Work. In the article The University and the Undercommons: Seven Theses (The—sees), Fred Moten and Stefano Harney start their analysis with this powerful quote: “To the university I steal, and there I steal.” They go on to write that this is the only possible relationship to the university (American) today. In fact, this may be true of universities everywhere. It cannot be denied that the university is a place of refuge, and it cannot be accepted that the university is a place of enlightenment. Their analysis is centered on a sharp critique of how we produce and reproduce a certain forms of knowledge. And the role and responsibility of those who step into this dialectical process of who has the right to know and what they should do with what they know. Moten and Harney go on to suggest that in the face of these conditions one can only sneak into the university and steal what we can. To abuse its hospitality, to spite its mission, to join its refugee colony, its gypsy encampment, to be in, but not of—this is the path of the subversive intellectual in the modern university. The authors are attempting to peel back the cover of knowledge for knowledge sake. They suggest that in this present moment, we must begin to take the path of heretical thinkers. The "maroons knew something about possibility. They are the condition of possibility of production of knowledge in the university—the singularities against the writers of singularity, the writers who write, publish, travel, and speak. It is not merely a matter of the secret labor upon which such space is lifted, though of course such space is lifted from collective labor and by it. It is rather that to be a critical academic in the university is to be against the university, and to be against the university is always to recognize it and be recognized by it, and to institute the negligence of that internal outside, that unassimilated underground, a negligence of it that is precisely, we must insist, the basis of the professions. And this act of against…always excludes the unrecognized modes of politics, the beyond of politics already in motion, the discredited criminal para-organization, what Robin Kelley might refer to as the infrapolitical field (and its music). It is not just the labor of the maroons but their prophetic organization that is negated by the idea of intellectual space in an organization called the university" [31]. Next we will hear an further elaboration of the ideas set out by Fred Moten and Stefano Harney with Dr. Claudrena Harold, author of New Negro Politics in the Jim Crow South from University of Virginia, Dr. Will Boone, Dr. Corey Walker, and myself of Winston Salem State University. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Kenya, Palestine, South Africa, and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!

Political philosopher Hannah Arendt famously argued - in the case of SS officer Adolf Eichmann - that ordinary people can easily become complicit in evil acts as part of a larger system of injustice and inequality. In this special episode, we discuss the concept of "the banality of evil" with Robin Kelley, prominent scholar and professor of U.S. and African American History. As protests spread across the country over the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more, Professor Kelley shares with us his perspectives on our shared responsibilities, revolutionary pessimism, and the historian's role in the pursuit of justice.Then & Now is taking a summer break in July and August, and will return with a new season in September. Please enjoy a look back at some of our favorite episodes over the last year!

Today on Sojourner Truth, our annual Juneteenth Special. Our guests are Danny Glover, Barbara Arnwine and Dr. Robin Kelley. On Tuesday, June 15, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would make Juneteenth a federal holiday. The bill would lead to Juneteenth becoming the 12th federal holiday. It is expected to easily pass the House, which would send it to President Joe Biden for his signature. The Senate passed the bill under a unanimous consent agreement that expedites the process for considering legislation. It takes just one senators objection to block such agreements. In 1862, former President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which had formally released over 3.5 million enslaved Black people in the Confederacy from the grip of slavery. Close to three years later, on June 19, 1865, Union Army General Gordon Granger proclaimed in Galveston, Texas, that all enslaved Black people would now be free. Thus, after Granger issued the proclamation in Galveston, formerly enslaved people began celebrating June 19 as Juneteenth, Freedom Day. Celebrations of Juneteenth began with local gatherings at houses of worship in Texas. Historically, Juneteenth has been celebrated in Black communities across the United States. It is now recognized as a state holiday or special day of observance in 47 states. Today, 156 years after the first proclamation of Juneteenth, Black people in the United States continue to face major challenges because of systemic racism. These include police killings, the rise of white right-wing militias, threats to the right to vote, inequality in healthcare, mass incarceration, children being removed from families and put in foster care or up for adoption because families are poor, homelessness, the loss of land in the U.S. south, and threats to teaching Black and Brown history in schools.

Today, 156 years after the first proclamation of Juneteenth, Black people in the United States continue to face major challenges because of systemic racism. These include police killings, the rise of white right-wing militias, threats to the right to vote, inequality in healthcare, mass incarceration, children being removed from families and put in foster care or up for adoption because families are poor, homelessness, the loss of land in the U.S. south, and threats to teaching Black and Brown history in schools.
Today on Sojourner Truth, our annual Juneteenth Special. Our guests are Danny Glover, Barbara Arnwine and Dr. Robin Kelley. On Tuesday, June 15, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would make Juneteenth a federal holiday. The bill would lead to Juneteenth becoming the 12th federal holiday. It is expected to easily pass the House, which would send it to President Joe Biden for his signature. The Senate passed the bill under a unanimous consent agreement that expedites the process for considering legislation. It takes just one senators objection to block such agreements. In 1862, former President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which had formally released over 3.5 million enslaved Black people in the Confederacy from the grip of slavery. Close to three years later, on June 19, 1865, Union Army General Gordon Granger proclaimed in Galveston, Texas, that all enslaved Black people would now be free. Thus, after Granger issued the proclamation in Galveston, formerly enslaved people began celebrating June 19 as Juneteenth, Freedom Day.

A 3 way conversation with the legendary Robin Kelley. In this episode Christian and I discuss with Robin Kelley on matters related to our present moment and his works. Born in New York City, Kelley earned his Bachelor's degree from California State University, Long Beach, in 1983. By 1987 he had earned a masters in African history and doctorate in US history from UCLA.[8] After earning his doctorate, he began his career as an Assistant Professor at Southeastern Massachusetts University, then to Emory University, and the University of Michigan, where he was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. He later moved to the Department of History at New York University, where he was promoted to the rank of Professor and taught courses on U.S. history, African-American history, and popular culture. At the age of 32, he was the youngest full professor at NYU.[8] He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford. Kelley has spent most of his career exploring American and African-American history, with a particular emphasis on radical social movements and the political dynamics at work within African-American culture, including jazz, hip-hop, and visual arts.[9][10][11] Although influenced by Marxism, Kelley has eschewed a doctrinaire Marxist approach to aesthetics and culture, preferring a modified surrealist approach. He has described himself in the past as a "Marxist surrealist feminist who is not just anti something but pro-emancipation, pro-liberation."[12] Kelley has also used the concept of racial capitalism in his work I.G. @TheGambian @Ctayj Twitter: @MomodouTaal @CtayJ

This eleventh episode of Black Work Talk was a joint effort with Dissent Magazine's podcast, Belabored. Belabored's co-hosts, Michelle Chen and Sarah Jaffe, and Black Work Talk's host, Steven Pitts were joined by historian Robin D.G. Kelley. Robin's book, Hammer and Hoe, details the organizing work in the Birmingham metropolitan area during the 1930s where key Black workers were Communist and worked with the Communist Party to improve the living conditions in Jim Crow Alabama. Because of Robin's knowledge of the region's history, he was an excellent guest to have on the show given the worker organizing at the Amazon warehouse outside of Birmingham. Topics discussed included: the current organizing at the Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, AL the relationship between Blacks and the Communist Party in the 1930s the nature of racial capitalism strategies to build stronger ties between the Black community and the labor movement.

In this episode we discuss Julius S. Scott's 'The Common Wind: Afro-American Currents in the Age of the Haitian Revolution,' an extraordinary text which began life as a PhD thesis in the 1980s, and has gained an almost cult reputation amongst scholars of transnational radical history until it's publication with Verso in 2018.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our post-election special. Reaction, analysis and a view from poll watchers in Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, November 3, millions of people across the United States headed to the polls and cast their ballots as part of the 2020 elections. Along with over 100 million people who did early voting, this election is reported to be the largest turnout in 100 years. In a race that turned out to be much closer than had been predicted, Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris faced off against Donald Trump and Mike Pence. As of the time we go on the air, it remains still to early to project a winner in the presidential race. Votes are still being counted in Alaska, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Georgia and Pennsylvania, according to CNN. Biden holds the lead in the Electoral College at this stage, with 224 votes compared to Trump's 213. A total of 270 Electoral College votes are needed to become President. On Election Night, Trump won a tight race in Florida, bumped up by the Latino vote in Miami Dade County, where large Cuban and Venezuelan exile communities live. There, Trump won 51.2 percent of votes compared to Biden's 47.8. In Florida, Latinos make up 19 percent of all of the state's voters, according to Al Jazeera. In contrast, in Arizona, Latino voters favored Biden by nearly 2-1, with Trump barely making a dent. In Wisconsin, with more than 90 percent of votes counted, Biden holds a narrow lead over Trump. In Nevada, with 85 percent of the votes counted, Biden leads by less than a percentage point. Now, all eyes are on Michigan, where the clerk of Wayne County (a key suburb) says they are counting votes, with no foreseeable end in sight. Pennsylvania, a state which Trump falsely claimed he had won, is just beginning to count hundreds of thousands of early votes mailed in that are expected to be heavily in favor of Biden. Aside from the presidential race, a number of important developments have taken place. In the Senate race, as of Wednesday morning, Republicans are in the lead with 47 seats compared with the Democrats 45 seats. 51 seats are needed to form a majority. Republicans appear poised to maintain a narrow Senate majority after winning a number of tight races and with others remaining too close to call. The Republicans currently hold a 53-47 seat majority. Democrats need to win four seats to flip the Senate after Alabama Sen. Doug Jones lost to Republican Tommy Tuberville. Democrats have picked up a seat in Colorado, with John Hickenlooper defeating Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, and one in Arizona, with Democrat Mark Kelly, a former astronaut, beating GOP Sen. Martha McSally. Meanwhile, all four progressive congresswomen referred to as The Squad have all won reelection in the House of Representatives. They include Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. Our guests are Dr. Robin Kelley, Bill Gallegos, Phoebe Jones Schellenberg and Tara Galatt.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our post-election special. Reaction, analysis and a view from poll watchers in Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, November 3, millions of people across the United States headed to the polls and cast their ballots as part of the 2020 elections. Along with over 100 million people who did early voting, this election is reported to be the largest turnout in 100 years. In a race that turned out to be much closer than had been predicted, Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris faced off against Donald Trump and Mike Pence. As of the time we go on the air, it remains still to early to project a winner in the presidential race. Votes are still being counted in Alaska, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Georgia and Pennsylvania, according to CNN. Biden holds the lead in the Electoral College at this stage, with 224 votes compared to Trump's 213. A total of 270 Electoral College votes are needed to become President. On Election Night, Trump won a tight race in Florida, bumped up by the Latino vote in Miami Dade County, where large Cuban and Venezuelan exile communities live. There, Trump won 51.2 percent of votes compared to Biden's 47.8. In Florida, Latinos make up 19 percent of all of the state's voters, according to Al Jazeera. In contrast, in Arizona, Latino voters favored Biden by nearly 2-1, with Trump barely making a dent. In Wisconsin, with more than 90 percent of votes counted, Biden holds a narrow lead over Trump. In Nevada, with 85 percent of the votes counted, Biden leads by less than a percentage point. Now, all eyes are on Michigan, where the clerk of Wayne County (a key suburb) says they are counting votes, with no foreseeable end in sight. Pennsylvania, a state which Trump falsely claimed he had won, is just beginning to count hundreds of thousands of early votes mailed in that are expected to be heavily in favor of Biden. Aside from the presidential race, a number of important developments have taken place. In the Senate race, as of Wednesday morning, Republicans are in the lead with 47 seats compared with the Democrats 45 seats. 51 seats are needed to form a majority. Republicans appear poised to maintain a narrow Senate majority after winning a number of tight races and with others remaining too close to call. The Republicans currently hold a 53-47 seat majority. Democrats need to win four seats to flip the Senate after Alabama Sen. Doug Jones lost to Republican Tommy Tuberville. Democrats have picked up a seat in Colorado, with John Hickenlooper defeating Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, and one in Arizona, with Democrat Mark Kelly, a former astronaut, beating GOP Sen. Martha McSally. Meanwhile, all four progressive congresswomen referred to as The Squad have all won reelection in the House of Representatives. They include Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. Our guests are Dr. Robin Kelley, Bill Gallegos, Phoebe Jones Schellenberg and Tara Galatt.

As protests spread across the country over the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many more, Professor Kelley shares with us his perspectives on our shared responsibilities, revolutionary pessimism, and the historian's role in the pursuit of justice.

Oregon Update-- ever since Obama got elected, if anybody disagreed with anybody in the White House, it was racist. However, at last Thursday's fundraiser, president Obama told a crowd that California Attorney General Kamala Harris “is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law, and making sure that everybody is getting a fair shake. She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country.” I recall some of the training that I've had working for a major corporation that a comment like this one would get me in trouble for sexual-harassment. So you think this was appropriate for the president to say? Robin Kelley, candidate for Illinois congressional election sided with the president on concealed carry laws using the Aurora Theatre citing as an example of how ineffective concealed carry is. Kelly is openly campaigned on a promise that she will "leave the issue on banning guns."
