    Racism, Whiteness and Black Britain Dec 19, 2024
    Show notes

    In the immediate post war years, the arrival of Black British citizens from the Caribbean was met with widespread racism across most areas of British life. Black people encountering Britain for the first time discovered not a wealthy land of enterprise but one with a poor white working class whom assumed superiority by dint of their skin colour.

    Civil Rights and the Fragmenting of the New Deal Dec 16, 2024
    Show notes

    Franklin Roosevelt knew that supporting black emancipation in the south would lose critical southern white support for the New Deal and so ignored for the most part the plight of black Americans and the horrors of lynching. During the 1950s and 1960s the coalition of black and white voters that the Democrats drew to them began to fragment as black rights advanced throughout the period. This was a key factor in the fragmentation of the New Deal's support base, which was ruthlessly exploited by Richard Nixon in 1968.

    Making sense of Syria Dec 13, 2024
    Show notes

    The sudden collapse of the Assad regime and the actions and intentions of the regional and global powers involved present us with strange contradictions, but we must also be aware of the terrible human cost of the conflict as tens of thousands of Syrians and other nationals remain in squalid concentration camps across the country, the final victims of ISIS.
