I also just learned that Rodney was in dialogue with Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed. In fact, Rodney mentions Freire's visits to the University of Dar es Salaam. These South-South dialogues within the context of decolonization are ignored by those who critique Freire.

@ZoeSTodd ❤ I just started reading Spirit and Reason as well as Metaphysics of Modern Existence. There's plenty to think about. Vine Deloria unsettles dominant Euromodern ontological assumptions, which many people seem to believe is a new critique.

@Iamhereforit1 This might also point to some interesting sources. https://t.co/xpu9Jois0b Santiago Slobodky's Decolonial Judaism: Triumphal Failures of Barbaric Thinking might also be of interest.

Fanon's Wretched of the Earth is always a great companion.

In my dissertation, I used José Saramago's books "Blindness" and "Seeing" to create a thought experiment in which academics suddenly refused to show up to work, deciding instead to see and act with others in ethical and political terms. https://t.co/8LwcLUihqG

Here too, the pioneering intuition of Paulo Freire was right, who proposed pedagogy "of" the oppressed and not "for" the oppressed; it was the person...the community itself that should become the subject of its own consciousness-raising literacy,

When the CIA overthrew Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954, an anthropologist reported... to the State Department’s intelligence & research division on the political affiliations of the prisoners taken by the military in the coup.

Almost 13 years, transnational corporations, US j Canadian govts, & domestic elite organzied a coup. Believe or not, today the IMF & World Bank as well as the wealthiest families in Honduras are doing everything they can to place obstacles on the new gov't. Soft coups! Traitors! https://t.co/ugRXkQWkmJ

“When I teach intersectionality…I teach it in a way that pushes students to think outside of the walls of the university…If we want intersectionality to keep its praxis orientation, it’s social change orientation, we cannot engage it only as an analytic…" @Sirma_Bilge

Just finished re-reading Black Skin, White Masks. This book teaches us that racism's governing fiction is social, structural, & historical. As Fanon expressed so clearly, it's the negatively racialized who are "exploited, enslaved, despised by a COLONIALIST, CAPITALIST SOCIETY"
