This discussion is based on readings by Orlando Patterson and Achille Mbembe which can both be found on our website www.andnowpresents.com. In this episode, we discuss slavery throughout history and the media representation of black people dying in United States news and fiction. We speak with Richard Purcell, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University who specializes in black representation in music and media as well as the world of slavery. Join us as we see how they see it!
