Hear all sorts of completely forgotten 45s, 45 of them in fact... or thereabouts. Maybe only 42 or 32.
Not quite 32. Like 20, actually. 20?

In an ever-changing world of shifting geopolitics and morphing ethnicities, how are we currently defining who is â and who can lay claim â to any particular cultural/racial identity or âethnicityâ? How are mixed-Indigenous Individuals and communities facing increasingly varying forms of repression from the mechanisms of state power and White-Supremacist terrorism defining who is âIndigenousâ? And how does this issue factor into our political comprehension concerning our challenges coping with colonialism and political repression in North America? FWR host @TheAngryindian presents an Indigenist-fuelled deconstruction on liberation movements; identity and intellectual objectivity and how these dynamics factor into modern liberation movements in North America.
All this and much more on, 4WR.

Edward Said, "Culture and Imperialism" (Toronto, 1993)
July 25, 2017, 1:03 p.m.
Today we feature a classic edition of This Week In Palestine, the voice of the late Edward Said. Although Edward Said died in 2003, as a renowned Arab intellectual, we feature his lectures from time to time to keep his voice active. He is relevant to this day. Edward was a professor of literature at Columbia University, a public intellectual, and a founder of the academic field of postcolonial studies, a Palestinian American born in Mandatory Palestine, but largely educated in the United States. An author and musician, he is best known for his book Orientalism. Here he speaks on Culture and Imperialism at York University, in Toronto in 1993.
A renowned Arab intellectual, Edward Said founded the academic field of postcolonial studies at Columbia University. This classic speech provides history and analysis giving a wider view of today's lethal exploits by the U.S. and Israel.
In Memory of Bertolt Brecht (ONE of ONE)
July 25, 2017, 12:50 p.m.
Even though the German playwright, poet, director and theoretician of the stage was persecuted by the Nazi's, and then forced to leave his exile home in the US when he was accused of being a communist, he did become a major influence on visual and performance artists such as Jean Luc Godard, Robert Wilson, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Augusto Boal, Pina Bausch, Dario Fo and many others.
His most famous plays, the Threepenny Opera and the Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny were just two of over sixty plays. During the war years, Brecht became a prominent writer of the "Literature in Exile". He expressed his opposition to the National Socialist and Fascist movements in his most often performed plays: Mother Courage, The Good Person of Szechwan, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Fear and Misery of the Third Reich, and the Life of Galileo that he revised after the dropping of the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. One of his most searing, funny, frightening and historically accurate plays against Hitler is the The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. The play followed precisely the stages of the Nazi's seizure of power and posed the most important question: Could Hitler's rise have been stopped?
On Brecht's 100ds birthday the Royal National Theatre from London, under their first formidable woman director Di Trevis, gave a performance in his honor in San Francisco. They presented songs, and read from poetry and plays. I was given permission to record the songs during the dress rehearsal and include them in this broadcast. They are, in order of appearance: Song of the SA Man, The Seven Deadly Sins, To a Portable Radio, The Ballad of the "Jewish Whore" Marie Sanders, To Those Born Later, Hollywood Elegy, The Moldau, and Everything or Nothing.

Despite the media-hyped outcry about false news, corporate outlets dump the falsehood of Xiaobo on us. What do you have to do to win a Nobel Prize? Apparently, supporting every U.S. war for half a century will get you one. Believing, like Xiaobo, that China needs centuries more of European colonialism, makes you a visionary and a progressive in the eyes of the Empire.
Phil also remembers Jack Shaheen, the creator of "Reel Bad Arabs." Every last lousy stereotype of Arabs makes its way into cinema, in order to justify the oppression and torture of countless Middle Easterners.
The continental struggle against racism continues in the protests against the Cornwallis statue.

#489 -- The Costs of Empire, Part 2 (R)
July 23, 2017, 7:54 p.m.
Parenti argues that empires are about class and wealth, not nationalism. Our empire is ruinously expensive, but the expense is paid by the 99% in order to make the 1% even richer. The costs include not only dollars but also environmental damage, the gutting of the civilian economy, loss of liberty, degradation of policics and public discourse, increasing poverty, many deaths and injuries of our soldiers, and many others.
The gloomy picture is enlivened by Parenti's trademark wit and humor.
