Episode Description

In commemoration of Fanon's centennial, the interview covers his biography, many writings, including his books A Dying Colonialism, Wretched of the Earth, Black Skin, White Masks, and more. As well as Fanon’s participation in the Algerian revolutionary struggle and his theories of violence and decolonization. The broadcast also features the news of Fanon's daughter, Mirelle Fanon, being banned from the Caribbean Philosophical Association conference due to her Palestine advocacy on her fathers birthday. The news segment also includes a discussion of immigration agents demanding tenant information from landlords, stirring questions and confusion and the Georgia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans suing to stop a new exhibit that wants to tell a broader story about Stone Mountain.
