Ajamu Baraka talks about the role of Black radicals and intellectuals in presenting an alternative vision of world order.
What’s at stake when access to information is restricted to achieve national objectives? How does suspending civil liberties impact social movement organizing? What do citizens lose when they’re unable to voice opposition to their government?
As countries across the so-called Global South are working to reshuffle world order, Western governments have unleashed a swift political, economic and cultural backlash towards these opposing states and social movements. Ajamu Baraka, Pan-African human rights activist, geopolitical analyst and national organizer for the Black Alliance for Peace, joins Zubairu Wai, Associate Professor of Political Science and Global Development Studies, in a conversation about the role of Black radical and peace movements in opposing the Western liberal democratic tradition and militarism.
What are the implications when governments target critical voices? What is the importance of having an internationalist perspective? And what can we do to challenge censorship against social movements?
