It's Not Even Summer Yet: Protests Demanding Justice for George Floyd
/Maurice, Amiri and Khadijah discuss the global rebellions demanding justice for the routine state violence against Black lives on this week’s episode of Black Siren Radio. Whose cities are being destroyed when we don’t own anything? Whose media is this if they frame our demands for justice as looting by outside agitators? Where’s the anger and righteous indignation for property when there’s people being brutalized and murdered by the police?
We also vibe with Sudanese American author, Fatin Abbas who troubles the idea of mapping as a colonial or humanitarian project in Diminishing Returns, a short story from her forthcoming novel The Interventionists. She shares her journey to Berlin from New York City and the Black German perspective on the struggle for racial justice in America. Always got the fire music on deck, Meditations on Mayhem and Lyrical Reports.
