January 07, 2020 People’s History Podcast: "Free Breakfast" (S1E4)
Sisters Angie Irving and Linda Wade bring the Black Panthers to Columbia Point.
This is episode four 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").

January 07, 2020 Jacobin Radio: Juan Cole and Yousef Baker on Iraq and Iran
Suzi looks at the likely impact of Qassem Soleimani's assassination for both Iran and Iraq. Juan Cole of "Informed Comment" examines the decision by Donald Trump to launch the strike that killed Iranian general Soleimani, escalating the stand-off with Iran to a new level of violence that could trigger a much broader and more lethal direct conflict. We get Cole's views on the ramifications for US-Iranian relations, the domestic considerations for each regime, and the wider implications at home and in the Middle East.
Suzi then talks to Yousef Baker of CSU Long Beach, who writes about the Iraqi protest movement. He says the American attacks and assassination of Soleimani has not just fanned the escalating regional conflict — it deals a death blow to the Iraqi protests. Iraqis have been pushed into the eye of the storm and every Iraqi political force now has to pick a side, with deadly consequences. The United States has made Iraq into its battlefield once again, making this escalation the most consequential action in Iraq since 2003. We get Baker's analysis and perspective.

January 02, 2020 Jacobin Radio: Achin Vanaik on Modi's India
Suzi continues to look at the spectacular global movements that have rocked the world in 2019. The mass protests are not dying out and as the year comes to an end, they are gathering force, as we see in India — with huge demonstrations challenging Narendra Modi’s rule. The government’s repressive response has only added fuel to the protests and strikes. Achin Vanaik, scholar-activist in Delhi, gives us the big picture of Modi’s far-right government and Hindutva policies that have sparked massive protest, especially the new Citizen Amendment Act which denies citizenship based on religion, excluding and further marginalizing the country’s 200 million Muslims.
