Raw and uncut, the Red Peace Machine discusses the Trumpist insurrection and the history of insurrection in the US.

We are so excited to share our conversation with local AMM shero, Bahia Amawi.

In this episode, we pick up where we left off in episode 3, diving deeper into what it means to assimilate as an AMM person. Maira and Ramish speak to what assimilation means for the South Asian community by deconstructing billboards in Sugarland, TX. What does it mean to be a model minority among South Asian Americans? Set against this background of a white dominant culture that tries to seduce us with uplift, what does authentic American AMM culture look like anyway?
