89 / Unraveling Whiteness; Reckoning With Ghosts / Bayo Akomolafe

Bayo Akomolafe is a researcher, lecturer, and author, born and raised in Nigeria. He is an international speaker, poet, and activist for a radical paradigm shift in consciousness and current ways of living. He is globally recognized for his poetic, unconventional, counterintuitive, and indigenous take on global crisis, civic action, and social change. Akomolafe discusses some of the themes raised in his essay, Homo Icarus: The Depreciating Value of Whiteness and the Place of Healing. The essay attempts to discuss a few difficult topics, triggered, in part, by the events in Charlottesville during the Unite The Right rally this year, which highlighted some of the more vile and racist elements of American culture. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/bayo-akomolafe // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast [ EP 89 / REC 10.26.2017 / REL 11.20.2017 / RMST 12.09.2024 ]
