AfricaNow! June 19, 2024 Exploring the Notion of Freedom

Topic and Guest: Today we want to explore the idea of freedom.  Freedom a concept that seems to be multiple and complex in meaning, is a notion that is present in every corner of the world.  In every society and culture, some idea of freedom is the cornerstone of social construct of human interaction.  The idea of freedom and various attempts to attain a measure of it, on each level of human existence, this is physical, mental, spiritual is identifiable in the historical existence of people of African descent worldwide.

Today WPFW presents Emancipated Spirits: Slavery, Freedom, and Resistance, from 5am until midnight to commemorate Juneteenth.  Thus AfricaNow! goes into its archives (July 28, 2010 show) to air a discussion which dissects the meanings of freedom in relation to Africa and the peoples of African descent.  Joining the show is Dr. Greg Carr, Associate Professor of Afro-American Studies at Howard University and Adjunct Professor at the Howard School of Law.  Professor Carr is First Vice President of the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations and Editor of The Compass: The Journal of ASCAC (Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations).

AfricaNow! Special Aug. 29, 2024 The Political Praxis of Jamil Abdullah al-Amin

AfricaNow! January 8, 2025 Reflections on Autonomy, Direct Democracy & Marronage with Modibo Kadalie Pt. I

Topic and Guest: In his publication Intimate Direct Democracy: Fort Mose, The Great Dismal Swamp and The Human Quest for Freedom Modibo Kadalie aptly points out, younger people “are convinced that the nation-state is not offering them a future. Newer generations of researchers are now beginning to look for evidence of community and collectivity.”  A collectivity that lies in the very fabric of Africana forms of knowing and ways of being, fully articulated in the various forms of resistance found throughout the Americas expressed as maroon communities.  In defining, mapping, and attempting to find the most articulate application of ‘democracy’ Modibo Kadalie presents an important intervention into the questions that move in and throughout discourses on democracy.  

Kadalie engages interdependent themes such as Black autonomy, radical public and social history, intimate direct democracy, social intimacy, Black geographies, and radical ecology, while centering a Pan Africanism that strengthens conceptual lens through which continuities in Africana sociopolitical thought and resistance can be further identified. Kadalie’s perspective on Black autonomy, grounded in social intimacy as being the operative mechanism for a functional democratic society, is undoubtedly rooted in his own background. Kadalie grew up in Riceboro, a Gullah-Geechee community on the Georgia coast, where he often points to African ways of being and forms of knowledge that were transmitted from generation to generation and deeply ingrained in his worldview throughout his early development.   

Today, we will listen to part one of a four-part series where we explore direct democracy, autonomy, marronage, Black anarchism, and atheism with Modibo Kadalie.  Dr. Modibo Kadalie is a social ecologist, academic and lifelong radical activist within the Civil Rights, Black Power and Pan-Africanist movements and the Founding Convener of the Autonomous Research Institute for Direct Democracy and Social Ecology (ARIDDSE). He is the author of Pan-African Social Ecology: Speeches, Conversations and Essays (2019); Internationalism, Pan-Africanism and the Struggle of Social Classes; Intimate Direct Democracy: Fort Mose, the Great Dismal Swamp, and the Human Quest for Freedom (2022) and a number of other articles.

AfricaNow! March 5, 2025 Gerald Horne on Armed Struggle, & Update on the DRC

Topics and Guests: Today the show features a portion of a recent discussion by Dr. Gerald Horne at Sankofa Video and Books.  The conversation centered around Dr. Gerald Horne’s new publication Armed Struggle? Panthers and Communists; Black Nationalists and Liberals in Southern California through the Sixties and Seventies.  In the book Gerald Horne sketches the apparent paradox of some African Americans turning to armed struggle at a time when it appeared that Jim Crow was retreating.  He draws critical distinctions between armed propaganda, armed self-defense—and armed struggle— all of which he places in a global context of anti-war activism, the Cold War, and African liberation.  Professor Gerald Horne is currently the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston.  Dr. Horne has written nearly 40 books dealing with the confluence of African American History, Communist History, the struggle for liberation, internationalism, imperialism, colonialism, racism, white supremacy, and fascism.  The conversation features an introduction by Dr. Gregg Carr of Howard University and interventions by filmmaker/educator Dr. Haile Gerima of Sankofa. (the full conversation is on Sankofa’s YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x59ltOV2ELE&t=2970s)

AfricaNow! March 19, 2025 Freedom Summer, Fascist Winter

Topic and Guests: Today we feature a conversation with Dr. Felicia Denaud and Dr. Joshua Myers.  The discussion focuses on their project–Freedom Summer, Fascist Winter: Black Power 1960-1970.  The project focuses on Black Power politics across the revolutionary 1960s.  As the project description states: Black Power remains a vital context of 20th century struggle and argument, summarizing a range of global activity and thinking linked by a fundamental critique of the West, racial/ colonial rule, and capitalism.  Black Power networks prioritized self-determination and militant struggle though differed widely in the forms of political community toward which they advanced.  Highlighted in this work are key organizations including the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (BPP), and the Black Liberation Army (BLA).    

Dr. Felicia Denaud, Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Cincinnati teaching a range of courses that center Black social and political thought.  Dr. Joshua M. Myers, Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Howard University and is a member of AfricaNow!’s and Africa World Now Project’s collective and has published extensively on Black Studies.
