This interview with J. Sakai was conducted June 17, 2003 on KPFT Pacifica Radio. Sakai is author of "Settlers: Mythology of the White Proletariat" as well as many articles on race, class and radical politics. The transcript of this audio became the pamphlet, "Stolen At Gunpoint: Interview with J. Sakai On the Chicano-Mexicano National Question," but the audio is being offered for those interested to hear Sakai in his own words.

J. Sakai (author, Settlers) Interview

Phan Le, Thuc Nguyen, and Michelle Pham join Diana to critique Spike Lee's Vietnam War movie "Da 5 Bloods," and they pull no punches in dissecting the problems with the film. Why does a script originally written by two white guys about white vets and produced by three white people and Lee get to represent the Black American experience or speak for Vietnamese people?
