Dr. Jason Corwin A Crisis of Belonging, Pt. 2

Y'all, this is a BIG episode, and not just in terms of length, although we definitely needed to take the extra time to grapple with some of the complex themes raised in the previous episode. In this episode I am joined again by Dr. Jason Corwin to continue our discussion of the crisis of belonging wrought by the traumas of colonization. Our conversation spans issues of Eurocolonial history, cultural appropriation, identity politics, the "subtle knife" that is the construct of race and other boxes and borders which the imperialist white supremacist capitalist cisheteropatriachy have trapped us in, as well as the need for personal and collective healing work and the false dichotomy of inner work versus social enagement. It's a long one, but deep, tender, and well worth a listen!

I also mention the organization White Awake (https://whiteawake.org/) which offers courses in political education for Euro-descended peoples.
