Welke boeken hebben de wereld veranderd? Die vraag hebben we de afgelopen weken geprobeerd te beantwoorden. We lazen boeken die protesten inspireerden, of die ons helpen de wereld beter te begrijpen. Boeken die wereldleiders hebben beïnvloed of boeken die onze cultuur vormden. Eén grote vraag blijft over: welke boeken gaan de wereld nog veranderen?In deze aflevering bespreken we wat we in deze negendelige serie geleerd hebben over de kracht van literatuur. We onderzoeken hoe groot de invloed van boeken is en zal zijn in de toekomst. En we selecteerden vier relatief nieuwe boeken die de potentie hebben om de wereld te veranderen. Dit is de negende en laatste aflevering van een serie over boeken die de wereld veranderen. Boeken die we deze aflevering bespraken: Ta-Nehisi Coates - Between the World and MeGeert Buelens - Wat we toen al wisten: De vergeten groene geschiedenis van 1972Margaret Atwood - The Handmaids TaleAleksandr Doegin - Foundations of Geopolitics Dit is de laatste aflevering van een negendelige serie over boeken die de wereld veranderden.Presentatie: Michel KrielaarsGasten: Eva Peek, Thomas de Veen & Peter de BruijnRedactie & montage: Jeanne GeerkenZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Recorded just before New Years Eve - before we won the Senate, and before the horrific events on January 6 - we chat with Dave the Republican, and Caroline's daughter Sydney, about new year's resolutions, pandemic takeout, and how the Democrats and Republicans should evolve as parties. Come for the bubbly, stay for the spirited discussion about universal basic income... We'll be back with regular episodes after the Inauguration! Plus, stay tuned for news about our 2021 Angst & Daisies Book Club - starting this February with Ta-Nehisi Coates "Between the World And Me". Stay safe out there. Hosted by Caroline Aaron and Steve Saporito. Produced by Eric Anderson.
This episode was recorded on October 25th, 2020. We are joined by Drea and Tamara. We all discuss our initial thoughts; the slave as an executioner; the lack of choice in a flawed system; the political as personal; would a black person stay in the car?; Slim’s naïveté; Shakespeare; forgiveness; the inspiration of their journey; and black betrayal. We embark on a HUGE tangent discussing OJ Simpson; Michael Jackson; Corey Feldman; R Kelly; Bill Cosby; protest as an act of self-defense; a surplus of tragedy not processed; Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me: Notes on the First 150 Years in America; agency and determinism; Trump loyalists; empathy and distance; voter intent; televised news; and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. And we eventually get back to discussing the movie.

“We need to mobilize resources where they're most needed so we can bring up everyone to the same level of thriving.” Tonia Wellons is a fan of the African proverb "If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together." Except during the COVID crisis, Tonia has moved lightning-fast AND together, by galvanizing dozens of philanthropic organizations to drive unprecedented levels of coordinated resources to the most vulnerable of communities. She is brilliantly leading the strategic, focused efforts of Washington-area funders to mitigate the disproportional pandemic impact on communities of color. Tonia is intentional about leading a long-term, deep, systemic transformation in the world, starting with our community. And she is just getting started! What you'll learn How Tonia’s perspective as a leader has been influenced by historical, family and geographic factors, bridging generations and geographic boundaries - from ancestors in slavery to rural, community-focused upbringing, to work spanning the globe and social justice arenas. Why reflecting on history-defining events and people - from Doug Wilde to Rodney King to Nelson Mandela to George Floyd – compel her quest for social justice and hopeful perspective that light will emerge from darkness. How the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted inequities and disproportional impact on communities of color. Gifts and challenges of collaborating across philanthropic organizations and priority areas. Why Tonia and her colleagues have prioritized COVID giving in areas of: food security, domestic and community violence, legal services, medical care and access, housing and homelessness, education and education and youth. Reasons it’s crucial to support leaders of color whose organizations are consistently underfunded. Tonia’s perspective on how this crisis is different due to current cultural, governance, and democracy failures underpinned by racial inequities. Why police reform needs to become a focus in every jurisdiction. What each of us can do to contribute to the much-needed transformation in our country. And so much more! Links & Resources Greater Washington Community Foundation – amazing organization Tonia leads. Leadership Greater Washington - fantastic organization for leaders in the D.C. area Tonia and I belong to.

The Community Foundation's mission is to Build Thriving Communities by galvanizing philanthropy and investing locally to maximize community impact. Our vision is for a more equitable, just, and thriving Greater Washington for all, and especially for those who have been systematically marginalized in our region. Leading an organization with a staff of 30, $335 million in assets under management, and $60 million in annual grants, Tonia oversees the day-to-day business of the organization, serves as chief development officer, and works with the Board of Trustees and staff to determine the strategic priorities of The Community Foundation. Tonia has successfully launched and led programmatic and development efforts for several key initiatives at The Community Foundation, including VoicesDMV, the Resilience Fund, and the Partnership to End Homelessness. She also has purview over all grantmaking, community engagement, and strategic partnerships. Prior to joining The Community Foundation in July 2016, she served as a political appointee for the Obama Administration as head of global partnerships at the Peace Corps. Tonia was responsible for leading the agency’s relationships with other federal agencies, the private sector, international NGOs, and donors. Most notably, Tonia led bold cause-marketing partnerships at the Peace Corps for Let Girls Learn (an initiative of First Lady Michelle Obama). Tonia previously served as fund manager of a multi-donor initiative focused on financial access and inclusion at the World Bank Group. She also spent a significant part of her career working on USAID-funded capacity development initiatives during the immediate post-apartheid era in South Africa and the broader sub-Sahara region. In 2010, Tonia founded the Prince George’s County Social Innovation Fund (PGCSIF) in an effort to 'shift the narrative' and build social capital in the County. The Innovation Fund's flagship initiative, Forty Under 40 Prince George's, recognizes top talent in the County, and connects them to political, social, and economic opportunity all the while sharing the important story of amazing people - under the age of 40 - who live and work in Prince George's. Tonia is a 23-year resident of Prince George's County and a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She has a master’s degree in Public Administration and International Development Policy from the University of Delaware, and a bachelor’s in Political Science from North Carolina A&T State University.

In which I tell stories from past jobs I've had. On a more important note, I hope that people like me remember that this week is not the only time they will raise their voices for others. I hope that we remember that this is an ongoing issue every day, and it has been ongoing for a LONG TIME. Most acts of racism and prejudice are not documented, and we need to remember this fact. White people, we need to do more than we have been, and if you didn’t realize that before, I hope that this movement has taught you to reconsider.

Tee & Ki discuss the history, evolution, and present-day celebration of Black History Month (BHM). Our conversation delves into the history of Black people and the need for BHM. It get's HOT in here as we discuss the nonviolence movement vs. the use of violence in the Civil Rights Movement (CRM) , Black power vs. White power, and our ideals regarding the necessity of BHM . This conversation is introduced by a quote from Ta-Nehisi Coates "Between the World and Me" which directs the turn of our conversation.

Celebrated author, literature champion, and bookstore owner Ann Patchett electrifies the audience as she describes her evolving relationships with various books, ranging from classics by Leo Tolstoy and John Updike to more contemporary works by Min Jin Lee (“Pachinko”), Matthew Desmond (“Evicted”) and Ta-Nehisi Coates (”Between the World and Me”), among others. Patchett reads both for pleasure and for business, as the co-owner and buyer for Parnassus Books in Nashville. Why would a best-selling author bother with opening a book store in 2011, when all of the others in her hometown had closed? Because, she says, she couldn’t bear to live in a city without one so she and a partner opened their own! And, as she tells here, Parnassus Books has been a huge success. Patchett is the featured speaker of the 2017 Dinner in the Library event at UC San Diego. Series: "Writers" [Humanities] [Show ID: 32700]

A Ghost World (Tétova tinédzserek) című Terry Zwigoff-filmmel zárjuk le a tinédzseres-felnőttéválásos tematikus blokkunkat. Daniel Clowes 1993-1997 között kiadott képregényéből a forgatókönyvet együtt írta Zwigoff és Clowes. A főszerepekben Thora Birch (Enid), Scarlett Johannson (Rebecca) és Steve Buscemi (Seymour) látható. A film témái a nosztalgia, a fogyasztói társadalom kritikája és az érettségi utáni felnőtté válás illetve az énkép keresése. Ezeken kívül beszélünk a film bogaras humoráról, a kitekintő rovatban pedig a Better Call Saul sorozatról szóló Polite Fight videók és a Marvel új Black Panther-szériája kerül elő.
