  • Brilliant pod

    David Olusoga needs his own platform. The man is a mine of consciousness and it needs sharing with a wider audience far more regularly. Discovered the pod thanks to following David on twitter but I am now a regular Pluto Press listener. Great content, more power to your collective bow!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fascist Yoga!
Q: Do you think yoga and wellness movements have accidentally created this opening for their adherence?
I don't think it's entirely accidental; some people do it unconsciously and others quite deliberately.
Fascist Yoga!
Q: Do you identify as an anti-fascist?
Yes, I go back a long way with Rock Against Racism and the National Front.
The New Racial Regime: Recalibrations of White Supremacy
Q: Why is history such a locus of kind of energy and attention for the recalibration of the racial regime?
History is central because it shapes our understanding of racism today and is crucial in challenging dominant narratives that overlook past injustices.
The New Racial Regime: Recalibrations of White Supremacy
Q: What's the distinction between racial capitalism on the one hand and the racial regime on the other?
Racial capitalism refers to the interplay between capitalism and racism, while racial regimes are about the representations and discourses that maintain and propagate racial capitalism.
The New Racial Regime: Recalibrations of White Supremacy
Q: Could you tell us a little bit about where the book sort of came from and then how it ended up?
The book evolved from my previous work on critical race theory and racial capitalism, culminating in this broader examination of the racial regime.
