Season 2 Ep 4: James Baldwin on the Violence of Love


Listen Later

In this week's episode, we review "If Beale Street Could Talk" by James Baldwin and we question how the world has changed since the book was first published in 1974. Also, we question what is Black Love today? Is Black love Black wealth? Is Black love extended to allies? Does "not seeing colour" cause harm?
The synopsis: Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions, despair, and hope.
