Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to this edition of the Pan-African Journal hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. We feature our regular PANW reports with dispatches on the burgeoning anti-racist demonstrations sweeping the United States campuses; unrest continues in occupied Palestine with the deaths of youth and the demolition of homes of those accused by the Israeli state of engaging in resistance activity; a strike by parliamentary workers in South Africa has crippled the legislative structures of the country; and the 40th anniversary of the independence of Angola was celebrated just this last past week. During the second hour we examine the militarization of US society through an interview with Abayomi Azikiwe broadcast over Community Public Radio which aired initially on Oct. 27 in the aftermath of a large demonstration in New York against police violence. Also the demonstrations on campuses across the US took up the question of student debt as well on Nov. 12. Finally we continue our focus on historical periodization through the work of W.E.B. Du Bois and Malcolm X.
