In Episode 59, we get together with DJ Fraser and Tara McGowan-Ross for the first episode of our new segment, Book Club. This month’s book is ‘After Black Lives Matter’ by Cedric G. Johnson. We were privileged to interview Cedric Johnson a few episodes back, but we wanted to delve even deeper into this masterful and important piece of political thought, which we encourage everyone to read.
If you’d like to follow along for the next episode of Book Club, we will be doing ‘The Ministry for the Future’ by Kim Stanley Robinson!
This is part of the Book Club series.
