AfricaNow! June 12, 2024 The Role of Historical Consciousness & Global Student Movements

Topic and Guests: June 16 is the Day of the African Child or Soweto Day.  The day is set aside to commemorate the youth who rose up against apartheid South Africa on June 16, 1976, in Soweto, on the outskirts of Johannesburg.  As such and also highlighting the current student movements—particularly those in solidarity with Palestine—the discussion contextualizes student movements historically and globally.  The conversation with Mukasa Dada and Obi Egbuna Jr. focuses on the ongoing fight for Black liberation and the need for solidarity across different oppressed groups.  In order to accurately understand the potentialities of the moment, the development and maintenance of a historical consciousness alongside organizing efforts that challenge imperialism, neo-colonialism, and police brutality through direct action and community engagement are presented for discussion.

MUSIC ON THE SHOW: intro--“FREEDOM SOUNDS” BY THE SKATALITES commemorating Caribbean American Heritage Month; break--“UHURU” BY OSIBISA; sign-off--“POWER” BY EARTH, WIND & FIRE; closing song--“EQUAL RIGHTS” BY PETER TOSH commemorating Caribbean American Heritage Month.

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.

CEM DİZDAR - TEK BAŞINA 21 HAZİRAN 2024

We consider the rich, often mysterious, and fraught history of Bosnia -- a longtime borderland of East and West, disputed between rival empires, religions, and civilizations -- and trace how the politics of this small, mountainous Slavic country set the stage for the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, and in turn, the outbreak of a global war.

UNLOCKED: Origins of the First World War, pt. 4 -- Bosnia & the Assassination

zararın tam olarak neresinden dönüyorsam artık,
bir kâr kırıntısı bile elime geçmiyor.

intizarım sana mı yoksa "hani benim bir arkadaş" var ya, ona mı?
intizar her ne demekse artık.

elimi tam olarak nereye sallıyorsam artık,
tek bir kişi bile bana dönüp bakmıyor.

nazarın istediğin yerime değsin 
(kem gözlere şişlere girmeden
şunu da ekliyim)
değdiğin yerde gül biter

seni beni alır gider, ya hep ya hiç 
bu tek gidişlik biletler
batar çıkar yolunu bulur bu sular
ama sarkıtlar dikitler
oluşturur durdurur, tehlikeli bi yolculuktur
debelenirken sahiden
hatırlatmaz mısın
kaç canım kaldı?
bi el daha oynatmaz mısın?

yatağın tam olarak neresinden kalkıyorsam artık
çaydanlık bile bana küsüyor.

medar-ı iftiharın her kim olmuşsa artık
rehberinde bildiğin soyadım yazıyor.

İntizar
