You may have heard that the U.S. gained 59 new residents last month from South Africa - and that more came this past weekend. They're all white Afrikaners: a white minority group descended from European colonists. Trump has given some of these white Afrikaners refugee status because he claims a "white genocide" is happening against them in South Africa. This claim is untrue. So where is it coming from? And why might this claim be politically expedient for the Trump administration? And what parallels can we see between some of the white Afrikaners and the American right? Brittany sits down with South African journalist Kate Bartlett and Sean Jacobs, professor of international affairs at the New School to get into it.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In 2021, Sean Jacobs experienced a near-death event that transported him to a realm of non-duality and infinite love, beyond time and form. Merging with "God Consciousness," he underwent a life review, feeling both the joy and impact of his life from others' perspectives. In this space of unity, Sean realized that love is the fabric of reality, and we are all manifestations of the same divine source. Returning to his body, deeply transformed, Sean now shares his experience to inspire others to recognize the boundless love and oneness within themselves.

At the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in December, President Joe Biden signaled that "Africa's success is the world's success" and promised visits by his senior leadership, including most recently First Lady Jill Biden, who traveled to Namibia and Kenya on a five-day trip. With 1.4 billion people, 43 percent living in urban centers, and a median age of 19, Africa is host to rising investment, growing private wealth and innovative tech and service sectors. The New School's Sean Jacobs, founder and editor of Africa is a Country, joins Doorstep co-hosts Nick Gvosdev and Tatiana Serafin to break down what is happening on the ground and the importance of the U.S. re-engaging Africa as the role of BRICS is re-imagined over the next decade.

Qatar 2022 marks the first time in World Cup history that African coaches will lead all five African nations in the competition. Many are hailing it as a watershed moment after years of African countries relying heavily on foreign, white and Western coaches while many qualified African candidates were denied opportunities. So how significant is this for the African teams, fans and players at the World Cup? And will this lead to more opportunities for African coaches, both on the continent and overseas?

Earlier this week, AIAC editor Sean Jacobs https://africasacountry.com/2022/02/the-russians-are-coming-the-russians-are-coming (asked): “Where do African countries fall in the threatened invasion of Ukraine by Russia? Will African states side with the US or their European allies or with Russia?” The question is no longer speculative: Russia has invaded Ukraine. As Russia seeks expansion at its borders, its expanding influence beyond its borders is viewed as a push for global hegemony against the US, EU and China. Is Russia's involvement on the continent just part of another Scramble for Africa? Does Africa have any agency? Will chats with John Lechner about whether Russia seeks influence for its own sake, or whether its motives are more nuanced. And whether, war with Ukraine means African countries will at some point, have to pick a side. John is a freelance journalist writing on the politics of the former Soviet Union, Turkey, and Africa, and is a recent graduate from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service.

The Afcon tournament in Cameroon was full of the politics, passion and pain of African football.

The 33rd edition of the African Cup of Nations football tournament began today, Sunday, 9 January, in Cameroon. AIAC founder and editor Sean Jacobs joins Will to talk about the history of the tournament, its contemporary politics, and its relationship to the hegemony of European football. The most important question of all, of course, is who will win this year's showpiece? Listen in for some predictions.

In the final episode of AIAC Talk for the year, Will is joined by AIAC founder and editor Sean Jacobs for a conversation with Steven Friedman; a South African newspaper columnist, former trade unionist, and political scientist who specializes in the study of democracy. Professor Friedman is the author of two new books reflecting on South Africa's tortured past and its dysfunctional present, namely Prisoners of the Past—South African Democracy and the Legacy of Minority Rule, as well as One Virus, Two Countries: What COVID-19 Tells Us About South Africa. Why has South Africa been unable to implement wealth distribution for the masses despite its transition to a robust, liberal democracy? In the throes of a political impasse, which social forces are capable of bringing about change? Or is a further slide to disorder more likely?

The arrest in July of former president Jacob Zuma in connection with an investigation into widespread corruption sparked an eruption of unrest and violence, mainly in the province of his base, KwaZulu-Natal. Yet the upheaval reflects a broader crisis underpinned by the failures of the African National Congress (ANC) to deliver on the hopes of national liberation, and the neo-liberalization and contradictions of the ANC in power. Soaring levels of unemployment and inequality have been exacerbated by the pandemic and government austerity policies, and in November, municipal election results (where the ANC and official opposition Democratic Alliance under-performed) confirmed widespread discontent. In this episode of AIAC Talk, William Shoki and Sean Jacobs speak with Lee Wengraf (contributing editor at ROAPE) about the roots of South Africa's political crisis.

Taylor Chalstrom sits down with Sean Jacobs, technical sales and marketing representative with Agro-K, and Chris Underwood, head of Product Development at Custom Agronomics, to discuss leaf sap analysis and proper tank mixing.

In the kick off of Season two of AIAC Talk, Will Shoki and Sean Jacobs speak with Siba N'Zatioula Grovogui, a professor of international relations theory and law at Cornell University on the recent coup in the West African nation of Guinea-Conakry. On 5 September 2021, the country's first democratically-elected president, Alpha Condé, was deposed in a coup led by the country's armed forces. When elected in 2010, the man once affectionately known as “Le Professeur” promised to undo the pattern of political violence that had long destabilized the country, as well as to deliver basic services and development to all. However, after successfully changing the constitution to allow him a run for a third term (and winning it in a disputed election in October 2020), the signs of creeping despotism were clearer than ever. In Africa Is a Country last April, Grovogui wrote that “Guinea, more than ever, needs an inclusive debate not only on the function of the state, but also on the nature of our institutions and therefore the very state of the republic." The debate is all the more necessary now, and on this episode, we hope to unpack the roots of Guinea's political crisis, as well as to ask: what comes next?

This month marks 50 years since the first Indigenous Australian delivered a maiden address to federal parliament. This was a great achievement for Neville Bonner, who served as a Liberal senator from 1971 to 1983. Bonner, according to a new biography, understood the tension, even chasm, between protest and compromise. “If you want to beat the system, you do it in a sensible, quiet way,” he argued. At a time when we are becoming accustomed to outbreaks of acute racial sensitivity – trigger warnings, micro-aggressions, the need for safe spaces – what would Neville Bonner make of identity politics today?

Doug speaks with Sean Jacobs and William Shoki of Africa Is a Country on riots in South Africa and the long trajectory of the ANC.

Behind the News, 8/5/21 - Sean Jacobs and Will Shoki on South Africa; Max Krahé on economic planning and the climate crisis - Doug Henwood

Just over a year ago, we streamed the first episode of AIAC Talk. Africa Is A Country founder and editor, Sean Jacobs, and staff writer, William Shoki, got together virtually to host a show on politics and culture from an African perspective. Beginning during the first wave of COVID-19 transmission in 2020 which saw lockdowns imposed and citizens around the world compelled to remain indoors, it sought to take advantage of the migration of life online to reach captive audiences. It was shortly after when BlackLivesMatter swept the United States and conversations about, and protests against, racial injustice and inequality spread internationally, that the project developed a sense of urgency. In this episode, Sean and Will unpack the ongoing tumult in South Africa—is it simply a reactionary attack on constitutional democracy mobilized by supporters of Zuma? Or, are their underlying structural causes—like mass poverty and joblessness—which elites are exploiting for their own gain, and which arise from their failures to begin with?

This week's guest is Sean Jacobs, a soccer polymath who joins Jonah & Matthew to discuss the Champions League quarterfinal results. Points of interest include Liverpool's disappointing season and reasons to hope for a quick turnaround, Manchester City's best shot at continental glory, whether PSG advancing helps or hurts their chances of retaining Kylian Mbappé and whether Chelsea succeeding is inherently bad for humanity. Other topics: the sociopolitical history of the semifinalists, Jonah's anxieties re: Christian Pulisic, how the rise of capitalist plaything RB Leipzig makes Bayern Munich more popular to Gerrman fans, why Sean roots for clubs from port cities (Dortmund; Marseille; Napoli; Porto), how growing up during apartheid informs his perspective as a fan and how U.S. soccer's greatest contribution to global football may have occurred in South Africa. Sean Jacobs (@_seanjacobs) is an associate professor at The New School, where he is also Chair of the Media & Culture Concentration in the Graduate Program of International Affairs. He is the founder and editor of Africa is a Country, “a project to expand and amplify the voice of African writers across borders and languages to challenge the global narrative,” author of the book Media in Post-apartheid South Africa: Postcolonial Politics in the Age of Globalization, and a Shuttleworth Fellow.

To face the worsening political, social and ecological crisis before us (that most acutely affects the poor and working-class), requires effective and coordinated action from South Africa's progressive forces. What should be the vehicle for this? As Niall Reddy https://africasacountry.com/2021/04/south-africas-left-needs-a-new-party (recently wrote) (his was the inaugural post in a https://africasacountry.com/tag/amandla-magazine (series of republications), as part of Africa Is a Country's partnership with the South African Left publication, http://aidc.org.za/amandla-media/ (Amandla)), “Social strains look set to keep accumulating. But assuming that any crisis they produce will automatically redound to the Left's benefit would be folly. That will only happen if we have the political vision and the organizational capacity to ensure that class becomes the fault line of social polarization. And for that, we need to face up to the challenge of constructing a new party.” In this week's AIAC Talk, we're joined by Niall, Mazibuko Jara and Tasneem Essop to discuss and debate the question of whether South Africa's left needs a new party. Some are not convinced – as https://www.newframe.com/the-rising-threat-of-political-gangsterism/ (this editorial of South African publication New Frame claims), “Party politics as a whole is an expression of the failures of the past quarter of a century and carries no possibility of a viable way forward, let alone any emancipatory prospects.” Instead, “a Left that could find a way out of the gathering crisis would need to be rooted in genuinely popular organisations, grounded in democratic practices, able to speak to the lived experience of the escalating social and political crisis and directly articulated to actual, existing struggles – from workplaces to communities and campuses.” Or, should we be persuaded by AIAC Talk co-host Sean Jacobs, who, claiming that South Africa needs democratic socialism, https://africasacountry.com/2019/05/why-south-africa-needs-a-democratic-socialism (wrote with Benjamin Fogel that), “Like it or not the majority of South Africans believe in democracy. Dismissing their belief as false consciousness and elections—which so many fought and died for—as a mere trick of the bourgeoisie, insults our struggle. Any future left project needs to begin with the premise that 1994 marked a victory for democracy and progressive forces, something that should be built upon rather than rejected or dismissed.” Niall Reddy, from South Africa, is a doctoral student in sociology at New York University, Tasneem Essop is a researcher at the Society, Work and Politics Institute (SWOP) at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and Mazibuko Khanyiso Jara is an activist, trainer and popular educator and a former national spokesperson of the South African Communist Party also serving on the Amandla editorial collective.

Thomas Sankara was the president of Burkina Faso from 1983-1987. He remains an inspiration to young Africans and those committed to a pan-Africanist future. His progressive policies, when it came to women's rights, sustainability, education, and healthcare, were innovative and ahead of his time. We'll discuss Sankara's legacy and what could've been if he was able to fully galvanise Burkina Faso and perhaps the African continent.

Jacobs is also the founder and editor of the acclaimed Africa is A Country website, a leader His new book Media in Postapartheid South Africa: Postcolonial Politics in the Age of Globalization, published by Indiana University Press in 2019. In it, Jacobs makes a potent argument about the role of the media, in its many new and old forms, as an arbiter of belonging and citizenship in our information-saturated age. Using South Africa since the 1994 “transition” from Apartheid to democracy as his case study, Jacobs analysis demonstrates the importance of not only understanding an ever-changing media landscape as part of any study of politics, but also how the media shapes how public goods as made accessible to whom and how. Media in Postapartheid South Africa is also a study of how the processes and structures of colonialism mix with the discursive tricks of political elites during Apartheid and after 1994, and how the media shapes how South Africans see themselves, in advertising, soap operas and reality shows.

Sean Jacobs, founder of Africa Is A Country, joins Doug to discuss Winnie Mandela's legacy. Then, Forrest Hylton talks about Colombian politics in the run-up to May's presidential election.

The dominant narrative presented on the ANC, the struggle against South African Apartheid, the conditions and systems implemented when the ANC became the ruling party suggest that in a post-Apartheid South Africa, the people of South Africa experience distinctly identifiable improvements in their lived-conditions. However, according to Benjamin Fogel and Sean Jacobs, in their article Zuma is not the Only Problem, “Over two decades after taking power, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) is less associated with national liberation than with corruption, cronyism, and neoliberal economic policies.” Radical platforms remain at the grassroots. Many farm workers in the Western Cape province, for instance, have joined the Commercial Stevadoring and Allied Workers Union (CSAAWU) — a relatively small union that employs militant class politics in its struggle against some of the most powerful commercial agricultural interests in the country. As well as, the Shack Dwellers Movement, South Africa's oldest social movement, who continue to mobilize for more equitable access to land, housing, and services with tremendous success, even in the face of state repression and political assassinations.” The former trade union leader turned billionaire, Ramaphosa with the backing of the ANC, unseated, Zuma, who was once considered to be the shrewd, political astute Teflon-lined leader of the ANC, to become the current president of South Africa. While Ramaphosa's “supporters have heralded his victory as a triumph over the corruption, criminality, incompetence, and repression that have characterized Zuma's presidency. Once a darling of the Left, Ramaphosa's reputation will forever be stained by his involvement in the 2012 Marikana massacre. To relegate systemic inequality, corruption, and violence to one person, negates the reality that the nexus within which these interdependent practices thrive are contradictory to the values and ideals that South Africans rooted, and root, their resistance in. Today, we invited Nii Akuetteh back to have a much-needed conversation on the current conditions in South Africa. Nii Akuetteh is an independent Africa policy analyst based in Washington, DC and was the Executive Director of African Immigrants Caucus. He was formerly the Executive Director of Africa Action and former director of OSI West Africa in Nigeria. Prior to that he was a Georgetown University Adjunct Professor of African Affairs and former Research Director at TransAfrica Forum. Mr. Akuetteh appears regularly on various media outlets such as Al Jazeera, BBC, CCTV, NPR, The Real News Network and many more. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the native, indigenous, and Afro-descended communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana; and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all people.
