The Politics of Immigration
with
Jane Guskin and David L. Wilson have been writing since 1990 about immigration, labor, and Latin America and the Caribbean. Their articles have appeared in Truthout, NACLA Report on the Americas, MRZine, The Huffington Post, and other publications. For over twenty years, they co-edited Weekly News Update on the Americas, an English-language bulletin covering grassroots news from Latin America. Guskin also edited a companion publication, Immigration News Briefs.
The Politics of Immigration authors brilliantly interrogate this urgent subject that defines our time. Guskin and Wilson ask and answer dozens of crucial questions roiling the nation, ranging from why do people migrate and what are their impacts on U.S. society, to what are the contours of U.S. immigration law and what should a sensible 21st century policy look like. We desperately need to put aside false information about immigrants, to see them as we see ourselves with honesty and compassion. Guskin and Wilson give powerful meaning to the slogan No Human Being is Illegal. Guskin and Wilson will talk about why are people in other countries leaving their homes and coming here? What does it mean to be illegal? How do immigration raids, prisons, and border walls impact communities? Who suffers and who profits from our current system"and what would happen if we transformed it? Well go beyond soundbites to tackle these concerns to provide effective tools to confront current stereotypes and disinformation

Sonic Cafe #126/Try Our Burma Shave Smoothies
Feb. 21, 2019, 8:41 a.m.
Sonic Café. Thatâs music from Dave Porter pulled from the Better Call Saul soundtrack. So how you doing? Iâm Scott Clark, welcome to episode 126 of the Sonic Café. This time we pull our music mix from 12 genres, including one we call Burma Shave. Now Burma Shave may sound a bit unusual, but we feel itâs the only genre that comes close to classifying the music of Tom Waits. So listen for Tom, plus Robert Palmer, Fitz & the Tantrums, Concrete Blondes, Led Zeppelin, Bob Welch and more. Then later the Sonic Café presents British funny man Jimmy Carr, captured from a gig in Montreal. Jimmy hits us with a rapid-fire barrage of one-liners in a very tight set. I counted 20 in all. So hold on for that. And finally, the Sonic Café welcomes our newest sponsor. Listen for a word from Shady Acres, an exclusive condo development just for divorced, rich people⦠live like a one-percenter, come to Shady Acres. All that and ahh some other stuff too. So crank up the volume and enjoy the ride from that little café on the Pacific coast, where we feature 2 for 1 Burma Shave smoothies, each day, during happy hour. Weâre the Sonic Café.

Woodbine, Onaje Ph.D. — Black Gods of the Asphalt Part One
Feb. 19, 2019, 6:51 p.m.
The transcendent experience of street basketball is the topic of two conversations with Onaje X. O. Woodbine, author of âBlack Gods of the Asphalt: Religion, Hip-Hop, and Street Basketball.â Woodbine grew up in the inner-city of Roxbury, Massachusetts, became a skilled street basketball player and attended Yale University on a basketball scholarship. After two years as a star player on the Yale team, he chose a different life path and quit.
After graduating from Yale, Woodbine earned his Ph.D. in religious studies from Boston University. His book, âBlack Gods of the Asphaltâ presents a social-anthropological view of this inner-city sport where coaches often assume the role of father, mentor and friend. He contrasts the lessons learned on the street basketball courts, with those learned at the predominantly white basketball courts and locker rooms of Yale University.
Onaje Woodbine visited with Radio Curious by phone on August 13, 2016, from his home in Andover, Massachusetts, and began part one by describing his relationship with his father, Dr. Robert Woodbine.  In part two he discusses the ethnographic research and methods he used in making his book, âBlack Gods of the Asphalt.â
The book Dr. Onaje Woodbine recommends is âJesus and the Disinheritedâ by Howard Thurman.
Kevin Anderson - A Rule Book for the Climate Casino
Feb. 19, 2019, 5:42 p.m.
Even though climate scientist Kevin Anderson has given up flying he attended, via train and ferry, most of the annual COPs, the Conferences of the Parties. They are held under the auspices of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change. And, as Deputy Director of the Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research in the UK, he contributes to the science.
Kevin Anderson says that we have known since 1990 about the need to end fossil fuel use. However now, 28 years later, emissions of greenhouse gases are still going up and are now a staggering 65% higher than in 1990.
The economists Thomas Piketty (in "Carbon and Inequality") found that only 10% of world population are responsible for 30% of CO2 emissions. If these 10% were to adopt the life style of the average European while the other 90% were to make no changes a huge step towards climate stabilization would be made.
Kevin Anderson also points to the economics of growth that are preventing the phase out of fossil fuels, and critiques out techno-fixes and can even contaminate efforts such as green development initiatives as long as they also promise Growth.
The conversation with Kevin Anderson was recorded at the December 2018 COP in Katowice, Poland, in the Scientists' Warning program, hosted by Stuart Scott and Victoria Hurth.
