    S1 #10 - BLACK STUDIES W/PATRICIA HILL COLLINS: Saluting Our Sisters, Intersectionality, Black Feminism, Afrofuturism + more

    en-gbOctober 27, 2023

    About this Episode

    In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews discusses the theme of Black Employment Month AKA Black History Month "Saluting Our Sisters," the past and present overlooking of Black Women, and the importance of the Black feminist standpoint in understanding the world better. For example, why we mobilize more around the public spectacle of anti-Black violence against predominantly Black men that leads to liberal reforms and why we need to also look at the private violence that predominantly affects Black women, such as deaths in childbirth. Focussing on both will lead to more radical solutions.
    -
    In this week's guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Patricia Hill Collins about her new book “Lethal Intersections: Race, Gender, and Violence,” the appropriation of intersectionality and what it is and isn’t, navigating her career in academia, the “public intellectual” and what it will take for Black people to be free.

    Patricia Hill Collins is a distinguished US professor emerita of sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the author of numerous award-winning books including her best-known and fundamental title "Black Feminist Thought" (originally published in 1990) and more (see below). She was the first ever elected Black female to be president of the American Sociological Association (ASA). This week Patricia was the winner of the very prestigious Berggruen Philosophy Prize, the first Black person to win this prize.

    In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews discusses the MET police's nonsense claim that the use of the political term "coconut" is a hate crime following a MET tweet (since removed) in the form of a protest poster of Rishi "Rish" Sunak and Cruella Vader-man. He argues that terms of political critique like "coconut" and "coon," which point out agents of White Supremacy especially if they are Black and Brown aren't racist terms and slurs. We must continue to defend our history, language, political critique, and ultimately our Black political thought.

    In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews rants about reparations washing, and the recent case in point of Lloyd's of London's "slavery" report; why he'd need to report himself under the new UK gov plans to criminalize dissent that also directly focuses on Muslims, which essentially conflates extremism with radicalism, and more on Israel-Palestine.

    In this week's guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dawn Butler Labour Member of Parliament (MP) about how she navigates work as a Black female MP. Since day she has managed to represent, talk the truth, and most importantly stayed Black while doing her job in parliament—one of the Whitest places—despite the advice when she first came into parliament of "not to be too Black." 

    She's therefore an amazing example of what we need to see more of from politicians in electoral politics. In this interview, she offers examples, like THE coup ran against her when she ran for deputy speaker, of how she manages and balances the impact of engaging with the constant gendered and racial reminders that arise for a Black Woman in one of the UK's Whitest and highest-profile workplaces. 
    -
    Dawn Butler a Labour Member of Parliament for Brent Central, London, the third Black woman to be elected an MP, the first ever to speak at the dispatch box and the first Black female chair of the women’s Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). She's the author of "A Purposeful Life: What I’ve Learned About Breaking Barriers and Inspiring Change" (2023). She was named the "most promising feminist under 35" by New Statesman magazine, honored as MP of the year at the 2009 Women in Public Life Awards, and was named one of the 25 most influential women in the UK by Vogue in 2020.

    In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews discusses how we can understand the Israel-Palestine conflict through the prism of Black radicalism—understanding the universal of the world through the particular of Blackness—to see the world differently.

    In this week's guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Beverely Bryan about Black women in the movement and in Britain, teaching and Black Studies in the Carribean, US, and the UK, Black women organizing, and the future of Black community education on the ground.

    Beverley Bryan is a retired professor of language education at the University of the West Indies for over 20 years, heavily involved in the Black Power movements and Black orgs in Britain (Black Panthers, early Black British Feminism, founding member of Brixton’s Black Women’s Group (BWG), Black Arts Workshop and Black Supplementary Schools), and co-author of recently republished Heart of the Race: Black Women's Lives in Britain.

    "It's really important to put [Black women] back in history, to see through those eyes too," says Kehinde.

    S1 #5 - BLACK STUDIES W/PROFESSOR NICOLA ROLLOCK: Her book "The Racial Code," Black women in higher education, White antiracist allyship + more

    In this week's Black World News, Kehinde discusses the murder charge of the police officer who killed Chris Kaba.
    -
    In this week's interview, Kehinde talks with Professor Nicola Rollock about the under-representation of Black women at the post-graduate and professorial level, why they’re not optimistic about change in their field, the question of White antiracist allyship, her new book The Racial Code, and Nicola’s top three things to address racial issues. 

    Professor Nicola Rollock is a Professor of Social Policy & Race at King’s College London, a Distinguished Fellow at the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, and also runs her own consultancy business.  She helps people think critically about how they understand racial justice and, as a result, implement better strategies for change. She is also the author of “The Racial Code: Tales of Resistance and Survival” (2022), released in paperback form this week, where she makes a case for everyday and more subtle forms of racism.
