Episode notes
Listening To Podcasts Under A Hat
- Jonathan Turner shares how he used to listen to podcasts covertly while working low-wage jobs.
- That experience made his appearance on Guerrilla History personally meaningful and highlights AFMN's grassroots origins.
Reclaim Fanon From Academic Iconography
- Fanon has been vulgarized into a sterile icon in academia and popular media, losing his revolutionary edge.
- Jonathan Turner argues we must reclaim the anti-colonial Fanon by reading his complete works, not just isolated quotes from Black Skin White Mask.
Postcolonial Framing Masks Neocolonial Continuities
- Post-colonial studies often confines colonialism to a 19th-century 'high noon' image, missing neocolonial continuities.
- Turner says this mechanical view obscures imperialism's adaptive forms like economic dependence enforced through institutions such as IMF and World Bank.
