In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews discusses how we can understand the Israel-Palestine conflict through the prism of Black radicalism—understanding the universal of the world through the particular of Blackness—to see the world differently.  - In this week's guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Beverely Bryan about Black women in the movement and in Britain, teaching and Black Studies in the Carribean, US, and the UK, Black women organizing, and the future of Black community education on the ground. Beverley Bryan is a retired professor of language education at the University of the West Indies for over 20 years, heavily involved in the Black Power movements and Black orgs in Britain (Black Panthers, early Black British Feminism, founding member of Brixton's Black Women's Group (BWG), Black Arts Workshop and Black Supplementary Schools), and co-author of recently republished Heart of the Race: Black Women's Lives in Britain. "It's really important to put [Black women] back in history, to see through those eyes too," says Kehinde.  - We should never confuse terror with revolution (MIP) https://make-it-plain.org/2023/10/11/we-should-never-confuse-terror-with-revolution/ Sabaar Bookshop https://rememberolivemorris.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/sabaar-bookshop/ Beverley Bryan: the British Black Panther who inspired a generation of women https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jan/28/beverley-bryan-the-british-black-panther-who-inspired-a-generation-of-women Heart Of The Race: Black Women's Lives in Britain by Beverley Bryan, Stella Dadzie and Suzanne Scafe https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/662-heart-of-the-race How Olive Morris Fought for Black Women's Rights in Britain https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk/article/section/civil-rights-movement/how-olive-morris-fought-for-black-womens-rights-in-britain/ Nigrescence (Negro to Black conversion theory) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigrescence The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State by Frederick Engels Finding a Voice: Asian Women in Britain by Amrit Wilson - Guest: Beverley Bryan Host: @kehindeandrews (IG) @kehinde_andrews (T) Podcast team: @makeitplainorg @weylandmck @inhisownterms @farafinmuso - Psychosis of Whiteness: Surviving the Insanity of a Racist World https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/316675/the-psychosis-of-whiteness-by-andrews-kehinde/9780241437476
