In this episode, Aaron is joined by Anthony Monteiro. They discuss the Black Radical Tradition in the context of US empire and capitalism. They focus especially on the towering figure of W.E.B. Dubois.
After many years as university professor--mostly at Temple University--Monteiro continues to work as a scholar and activist at the Saturday Free School in Philadelphia and at Black Agenda Report.
