During Black August 2026, the Asantehene, Otumfo Osei Tutu II, and Otumfo-Yere Julia Osei Tutu of the Asante People are visiting the United States. Their trip features a Royal Lecture at Howard University and an Akwasidae Festival at Bowie State University, bracketed by a major African business summit. This historic visit highlights a foundational truth: Global African solidarity and belonging must anchor self-determination to drive local, regional, and global advancement. This journey happens during a time of deep global political friction. As the old Age of European Expansion rapidly deteriorates, powerful nations scramble to renegotiate global arrangements. Meanwhile, political figures in the U.S. fetishize authoritarian leadership and try to destabilize existing political and economic orders. Domestic US communities also struggle to claim collective authority and protect explicit individual rights within a destabilizing US legal system. In grappling with relationships between Governance formations and the Social Structures which hold them together, the Asante delegation raises questions of Governance, where authority is informed by the Cultural Meaning-Making that recognizes relationships between memory and vision, the protective custodianship of Ancestral continuity represented by the Golden Stool, and the living assent of the people in renewed and new Governance formations. As corporate lawfare and a compromised SCOTUS threaten US domestic stability, and neoliberal frameworks continue to buffet the modern university, this week we raise questions of structural autonomy, from the protocols of the Asante to the "jailbreaking" of the Black University, and ask several questions: What does it mean to truly govern with the people's assent? How do we reclaim authority when structures built to rule us teeter? What happens when people withdraw their authority?

Today I am delighted to talk with Professor Malini Johar Schueller about her new book, Teaching Solidarity: Critical Race Reading recently published by the University of California Press. We talk about the long history of anti-racist education and the attacks on it by the Right. In particular, we look at the onslaught of federal and state repression since the first Trump regime, and conservative incursions onto campuses take the form of surveillance of syllabi, classrooms, public events, and the establishing of conservative centers. We finish by talking about what Schuller calls critical race reading, a manner of presenting and discussing texts that develops an understanding of structural violence, and critical ways of engaging with literature that enables civil and political engagement. We press the point that these attacks, instrumentalizing the idea of student “discomfort,” severely underestimate students' hunger for knowledge and their ability to withstand so-called discomfort in the search for truth. Malini Johar Schueller is a professor in the Department of English at the University of Florida.  She is the faculty advisor for Students for Justice in Palestine and was the advisor for Jewish Voice for Peace and is a member of the organizing collective for the United States Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.  She is the author of several books including U.S. Orientalisms: Race, Nation, and Gender in Literature, 1790–1890 (1998), Locating Race: Global Sites of Post-Colonial Citizenship (2009), and Campaigns of Knowledge: U.S. Pedagogies of Colonialism and Occupation in the Philippines and Japan (2019).  She has co-edited Exceptional State: Contemporary US Culture and the New Imperialism (2007) and Dangerous Professors: Academic Freedom and the National Security Campus (2009). She is the director of an award-winning documentary, In His Own Home (2015) about police brutality and campus militarization, based on an incident at UF is available on amazon prime.  In 2019 she was selected to participate in a Faculty Development Seminar by the Palestinian American Research Council and traveled to the West Bank. Her latest book on activist pedagogy, Teaching Solidarity: Critical Race Reading was published by the University of California Press in April 2026.  Her essays have appeared in scholarly journals as well as in popular publications such as Counterpunch, The Orlando Sentinel, and the Sarasota Herald Tribune.  She teaches courses in comparative settler colonialism, including Palestine and courses in postcolonial theory, Asian American studies, and US imperialism.

If you've tuned into Top Rank over the last year, you may have noticed that we've been spending some time with the topics of mothering and parenting more broadly. This is not a new interest—we actually did a five-part episode series about birth work back in 2019—but now that we are both parents our entry point has shifted and sharpened. On this episode, we'll be discussing a new book by Madeline Lane-McKinley, a feminist author, parent, and educator based in Portland, Oregon. “Solidarity with Children: An Essay Against Adult Supremacy,” which came out late last year, weaves personal experience and political analysis to examine the history of childhood as we know it and consider what it would mean to center children in how we design and inhabit the world. In our conversation with Madeline, we think critically about where our expectations of children (and childhood in general) come from, and how challenging our deepest norms requires truly understanding what we take for granted.

Speaking at the Labor Heritage Foundation's Great Labor Arts Exchange in June 2009, the future AFL-CIO president explains how songs, murals, films and stories preserve workers' struggles and carry solidarity from one generation to the next. Trumka was elected AFL-CIO president on September 16, 2009, and served until his death on August 5, 2021. Plus, Labor History in Two looks back at how anti-communist hysteria was used in 1938 to divide workers and undermine the growing CIO.

Send us Fan Mail Politics can feel like a stress machine: every headline tightens the chest, every election steals sleep, and every argument at the dinner table leaves a residue. We wanted to test a different idea: that political understanding can actually improve mental health. When we stop treating politics as unknowable “noise” and start learning how incentives, institutions, and policies work, confusion turns into clarity, and helplessness starts to loosen its grip. Our guest, Henry A. Kowalczyk, brings a rare perspective as a writer and political thinker who helped pave the way for the Solidarity movement in Poland during the 1970s and 80s and now applies those lessons to American life. We talk about why so many people feel their vote does not count, how “trust me” messaging from politicians and major media can erode confidence, and why skepticism plus education is healthier than either doomscrolling or total disengagement. Along the way, Henry connects big political theory to daily stress through real examples like immigration narratives that clash with lived experience and a healthcare system that makes even minor medical needs feel financially dangerous. We also dig into practical policy literacy: freedom versus equality tradeoffs, what a prosperous society needs to keep people from becoming cogs, and why tying health insurance to employment can trap people in jobs that burn them out. Henry shares ideas from his book, “Can America Ever Be Great Again,” including how flexible work scheduling could increase autonomy and why separating preventive care from true insurance could lower costs. If you want a calmer relationship with politics, this conversation offers a framework that is grounded, human, and actionable.

Although it's increasingly common to describe the Palestinian struggle for liberation in terms of a conflict with settler colonialism, it's more rare for Palestine to be situated in the broader context of anti-imperialist struggles of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and specifically the wars for liberation conducted by the FLN in Algeria and the Vietminh and the National Liberation Front in Vietnam. Hamza Hamouchene seeks to do just that. In our conversation we talked about the importance of recognising that although the success of past decolonisation struggles is seen today as inevitable, they were not so perceived at the time and that in the cases of both Algeria and Vietnam their battles for independence endured for an extremely long time and were punctuated by what seemed to be possibly permanent defeats. We also talked about the Vietminh's victory of the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 and the shockwaves this sent through territories under the control of the French and other European empires elsewhere. We went on to talk about the direct assistance the Vietnamese and Algerians provided to each other, and how both aided the Palestinians after they had achieved independence. Finally, we talked about the relevance of the moment of the high point of anti-colonial struggle to the Palestinian cause now, given the even more challenging geopolitical situation that Palestinian resistance faces today.

In this episode of Beyond the Page, Steve sits down with author Liam Begley to discuss Broken Interstellar, a science fiction space opera that approaches humanity's future among the stars from a very different perspective: the workers who keep everything running.Liam describes the novel as a “union workers space opera,” following a cargo worker stranded on a deserted planet who must find his way back to his crew and career. That premise opens the door to a much larger conversation about worker solidarity, interstellar trade, economics, technology, and the kinds of societies humanity might build as it spreads beyond Earth.We also explore Liam's influences, including Ursula K. Le Guin, Iain M. Banks, Lois McMaster Bujold, and The Lord of the Rings, along with the challenge of balancing detailed worldbuilding with an engaging story.Later, Liam shares his experience pursuing traditional publishing before choosing self-publishing, the difficulty independent authors face finding the right audience, and why good marketing isn't about reaching everyone, it's about reaching the readers who actually want your book.We also get into AI and creativity, the importance of human perspective and imperfection in art, Liam's work in the film industry, and what an early job cleaning out a family home taught him about work as a form of service.It's a wide-ranging conversation about science fiction, labor, storytelling, publishing, technology, and what happens when ordinary workers, not emperors or military heroes become the center of an interstellar adventure.Find Liam: https://www.liambegley.ca/Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe

Ep 391 - Towards Palestinian Liberation with Hamza Hamouchene

This week, Hamza Hamouchene returns to the podcast to talk about Towards Palestinian Liberation: Global Perspectives on Anti-Colonial Resistance and Solidarity, the new collection he co-edited with Abi Bae. Palestine, he argues, cannot be understood simply as a “conflict” or humanitarian crisis, but as a national liberation struggle against settler colonialism embedded in a larger system of Western imperialism and global capitalism.Hamza traces Israel's role within the imperial order, the class interests of Arab ruling elites, and the political economy of occupation and dispossession. Drawing connections to Algeria, Vietnam, South Africa, and other anti-colonial struggles, he emphasizes the revolutionary potential of international solidarity and the necessity of connecting struggles against colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism.Steve brings MMT into the discussion, arguing that an analysis of real resources is incomplete without confronting the imperial power and violence through which those resources are controlled. The conversation ultimately points beyond solidarity with Palestine toward a larger project of liberation. As Hamza wraps it up:“We need to be in solidarity with movements that are fighting for their rights, fighting against land grabs, against extractivism, against neocolonial plunder. Be with the Palestinians in their struggle for liberation. Because what we want, Steve, is not just a liberated Palestine. We want a liberated Palestine in a liberated world.”Too often, mainstream narratives on Palestine are narrowly focused on Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. Solidarity is reduced to a matter of human rights and international law violations. Hamza stands firm in his refusal to treat Palestine as an exception to the global struggle against imperialism.Dr. Hamza Hamouchene is a London-based Algerian researcher-activist, commentator and a founding member of Algeria Solidarity Campaign (ASC), Environmental Justice North Africa (EJNA) and the North African Food Sovereignty Network (Siyada). He is currently the Arab region Programme Coordinator at the Transnational Institute (TNI). His work is focused on issues of extractivism, resources, land and food sovereignty as well as climate, environmental, and energy justice in the Arab region. He is the author/editor of five books: “Towards Palestinian Liberation: Global Perspectives on Anti-Colonial Resistance & Solidarity” (2026), “Dismantling Green Colonialism: Energy and Climate Justice in the Arab Region” (2023), “The Arab Uprisings: A decade of struggles” (2022), “The Struggle for Energy Democracy in the Maghreb” (2017) and The Coming Revolution to North Africa: The Struggle for Climate Justice (2015).

Feliks Banel's guests on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY are Naomi Ostwald Kawamura, Executive Director of Densho and Skyla Sachiko Tomine, National Organizing Fellow of Tsuru for Solidarity. Densho and Tsuru for Solidarity have paired up to lead a grassroots effort to halt the closure of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) branch in San Bruno, California. Densho and Tsuru for Solidarity convened a webinar earlier this week with nearly 100 participants. In this conversation for CASCADE OF HISTORY, recorded on the evening of Thursday, August 6, 2026, Ms. Kawamura and Ms. Tomine describe why their respective organizations are collaborating in this effort, what they hope to accomplish, and how people can get involved by contacting legislators and doing other grassroots outreach. CASCADE OF HISTORY has been covering this story since an internal NARA memo was leaked in late June 2026 with details that have still not yet been shared publicly by NARA. That memo describes the closure of NARA regional archival facilities in Chicago, Illinois and San Bruno, California, and imminent removal of archival materials from both sites.

In this episode, we explore what drives ordinary people to step forward in extraordinary times. Social psychologist Barbara Lášticová from the Slovak Academy of Science joins us to discuss new research into the motivations of volunteers who helped refugees following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. Drawing on a large study conducted across Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland, the conversation looks at the difference between personal, moral, and politicized motivations — and why some forms of solidarity last longer than others. Listeners will hear how early waves of compassion evolved into long-term engagement, what shapes our expectations of refugees, and what this research reveals about sustaining solidarity in times of crisis.

Back in the fall, Trump's NSPM-7 redirected the FBI, DOJ, and IRS toward "left-wing political violence," opening the door to labeling domestic groups terrorist organizations — despite three independent datasets (New America, CSIS, even the ADL!) showing right-wing violence outpacing left-wing violence by factors of 9-to-1 or greater.  Last week, Rubio's "Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism" internationalized this McCarthy reboot. Central to the rhetoric of Rubio and Miller is framing leftist politics as being driven by envy and resentment rather than a response to inequality. Matthew traces this rhetoric, empirically contradicted by relative deprivation research, back through Nietzsche, Scheler, Schoeck, and Rand.  Four days after the Ministerial, the State Department's Cuba report named 70+ Americans — from spies to wedding guests — as one undifferentiated network, a scapegoat machine now churning out congressional subpoenas, a federal grand jury, and a widening dragnet.
