In this week's Dissidents Podcast Mike Burke and Elizabeth Spievak have their second conversation with Winkfield Twyman, Jr. & Jennifer Richmond about their new book Letters in Black and White. In this episode they explore their debate over Wink’s suggestion of creating a common American identity premised on “Old Americans” and Jen’s criticism that this would be seen as “Sidestepping History”. Additionally, they discuss and debate the meaning of authenticity in a culture that prefers that we segregate into binary black and white identities laced with stereotypes and caricatures.
