Understanding Racism, Resistance, and the New Racial Regime with Alana Lentin

Join us for an insightful episode in the PsychLib series of the Resistance is Fertile podcast universe as we dive deep into the intricate layers of racism, colonialism, and resistance with Alana Lentin, a professor of cultural and social analysis at Western Sydney University. In this episode, Alana discusses the concept of racial regimes and their recalibrations, racial capitalism, and how resistance to oppression is justified. She also touches upon the contemporary issue of the genocide in Gaza, the failure of Western Marxism to address slavery's role in capitalism, and the importance of recognizing and supporting all forms of resistance. This discussion offers an in-depth look at the current global socio-economic and political climates, and challenges us to rethink our roles and responsibilities within these structures.
