  • People's History Podcast: "Carson Beach" (S1E5)

    In the turmoil of busing, Betty Ann Jones advocates armed defense. Betty Washington and Dorothy Haskins lead a "wade-in" to protest segregation.

    This is the penultimate episode of the first season of People's History Podcast! "The Point: Rebellion and Resistance in Boston Public Housing" traces a social history of Boston from the urban rebellions of the 1960s, through busing in the 70s, into the Clinton era.

    We investigate these events from the lens of one community: Columbia Point, the largest public housing project in New England. Built on an isolated landfill site next to the Boston city dump, it was the site of major organizing, from welfare rights to a Free Breakfast for Children program. It was also the first public housing project to be sold off and redeveloped as private "mixed-income" development (and was a model for the federal policy "HOPE VI").

  • Jacobin Radio: Marc Cooper on Journalism
    Suzi talks to longtime journalist Marc Cooper about the changing world of journalism and asks how the carrier of information, which used to be predominantly newsprint, then TV, and now digital, changes our concept of knowledge? And because the new technologies make possible the democratization and de-professionalization of journalism, we ask, who is a journalist? How do we interact with the new media landscape — and how do we make it work for those of us trying to build a more just society?

  • The Vast Majority: Building a Left Foreign Policy with Daniel Bessner
    We were terrifyingly close to an open war on Iran recently. The near-miss was a reminder of how brazenly American imperial power is wielded around the world and how easy dragging us back into another major war would be for Trump or anyone else in his position. It also was a reminder that we don't have a real antiwar movement in this country that can fight back against these kinds of escalations.
    I talked about all these issues with Daniel Bessner, a historian and professor of international studies at the University of Washington, as well as the author of Democracy in Exile: Hans Speier and the Rise of the Defense Intellectual and a forthcoming history of the RAND Corporation. He's also a regular contributor to Jacobin.Daniel's cowritten essay on democratizing US foreign policy: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2017-04-05/democratizing-us-foreign-policyDaniel's essay on the continued supremacy of the American military: https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/american-us-empire-not-in-decline-superpower-trump-proves-it-is-stronger-than-ever-militarism-daniel-bessnerDaniel's review of George Soros's most recent book: https://jacobinmag.com/2020/01/george-soros-defense-of-open-society-philanthropy
