http://www.radio4all.net/program/59308Podcast for Program: Legacy of Racism in America, Student Strikes in QuebecMon, 16 Apr 2012 11:15:11 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/59308Phil speaks with Thomas Martin Sobottke, author of "Across that Dark River," a meditation on the American Civil War and the continuing issue of race in America. The memory of the Civil War has been contentious ever since the Union victory because of the legacy of white supremacy. From a 21st century standpoint, Sobottke attempts to understand the U.S. attempts to come to grips with institutionalized racism following the civil-war. Then, Montreal grad student Sunci Avlijas returns to the program to report on the progress of the economic disruption strategy in the Quebec student strike. Can Quebec students buck the trend and escape the "company store" arrangement of student loans? Finally, Phil reaches Thomas Mountain in the middle of the night in Africa to discuss Western intelligence operations and Etiophia's continuing aid dependence.
