Changüí is a little understood, loose and lively, community-based music of eastern Cuba. In this program we sample recordings from the 2021 box set Changüí: The Sound of Guantánamo, and hear from Gianluca Tramontana, the man who made the recordings. Rooted in Afro-Haitian music, pan-Caribbean styles, Spanish poetic traditions and more, Changüí emerged in the mid 19th century in plantations, not unlike the blues. We also hear from musician and scholar Ben Lapidus, author of the only English language book on Changüí, and we update the story with Changüí fusions into jazz, salsa and hip-hop. Prepare to dance!

Changui!

A bold new history of modern conservatism that finds its origins in the populist right-wing politics of the 1990s 
 
Ronald Reagan has long been lionized for building a conservative coalition sustained by an optimistic vision of American exceptionalism, small government, and free markets. But as historian Nicole Hemmer reveals, the Reagan coalition was short-lived; it fell apart as soon as its charismatic leader left office. In the 1990s — a decade that has yet to be recognized as the breeding ground for today’s polarizing politics — changing demographics and the emergence of a new political-entertainment media fueled the rise of combative far-right politicians and pundits. These partisans, from Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich to Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham, forged a new American right that emphasized anti-globalism, appeals to white resentment, and skepticism about democracy itself.  
 
Partisans is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the crisis of American politics today.

Starting with a poem by Hafiz about haggling with God, Michael offers insights about ways to simplify and deepen practice, giving and receiving, renunciation, and ideas we need to let go of. Recorded on November 8, 2007.

What Are You Going to Let Go Of?

With the war in Ukraine, school shootings and Jan. 6 hearings, it’s hard to imagine a better time for “Designing Peace” at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.

In India, the cheetah was declared extinct in 1952. Now, wildlife officials there are trying to re-introduce it with cheetahs brought in from South Africa and Namibia. It is the first time a large carnivore is being moved from one continent to another and reintroduced into the wild. Marco Werman speaks with Yadvendradev Jhala of the Wildlife Institute of India, which is playing a key role in the effort.

When the Mughals swept into India in the 1500s, they often erected their mosques on Hindu temple sites. More than 500 years later, right-wing Hindu are claiming that they are the rightful owners. To whom the sites belong have now become more flash points between Hindus and Muslims, which have grown since Hindu nationalists have dominated Indian politics. Sushmita Pathak examines the current claims and their historical accuracy.

One of Michael W. Twitty’s most well-known and central ideas is that your food is your flag. For Twitty —  a Black, Jewish author and culinary historian from the South — compiling his flag means exploring food from the African Atlantic and Jewish diaspora civilizations.

The popular imagination about how wars end is often what the United States experienced with World War II, with cheering crowds and definitive winners and losers. But that's not typical. In the first of our five-part series, Jeb Sharp will explore the Iraq War, the American Civil War, World War I, the Gulf War and the Bosnia War to better understand how wars end. The series first aired in 2008. 

How wars end part 1

As the US finds itself embroiled in another war, though not with troops, we are reairing our series, “How Wars End,” that first ran in 2008. To understand what has changed and what we've learned since then, Marco Werman speaks to two academics that were key to the series, Stephen Biddle of Columbia University and Monica Duffy Toft of Tufts University.

Cases of monkeypox continue to grow across the US and the globe. But as the numbers increase, there's also a growing stigmatization of gay men as the community suffers high rates of the disease. The World's Marco Werman spoke with Kai Kuperschmidt, a German science reporter and molecular biologist, about how to have clear communication on the disease while avoiding further stigmatization. 

How do we talk about monkeypox?

Parts of the Middle East and North Africa have been hit with another summer of very high temperatures. The World’s Marco Werman speaks with Karim ElGendy, an expert on climate change, about the regions being impacted, how people are adapting, and what the future of climate looks like.
