In Episode 58, I talk about the recent protests in Canada and the United States against police racism and violence towards Black and Indigenous peoples, set in motion by the video showing the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police officers. This episode is a synthesis of my recent publications on police racism, brutality, sexualized violence and killings of Black and Indigenous peoples and the calls to defund the police.Link to Robyn Maynard's book: Policing Black Livesamzn.to/3dkKlWnLink to Desmond Cole's book: The Skin We're Inamzn.to/2U0395OLink to my new book: Warrior Life: Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence (use code warrior10 for 10% discount)https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/warrior-lifeSome of my recent publications:Yes Canada has a racism crisis and its killing Black and Indigenous peopleshttps://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/yes-canada-has-a-racism-crisis-and-its-killing-black-and-indigenous-peoplesInquiry Needed into Police Violence against Indigenous peopleshttps://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/inquiry-needed-into-police-violence-against-indigenous-peoplesCanada should declassify, deconstruct and defund the RCMPhttps://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/declassify-deconstruct-and-defund-the-rcmpBrenda Lucki must gohttps://www.macleans.ca/opinion/brenda-lucki-must-go/Please note: Nothing in this podcast advocates for violence on Indigenous territories.From my website you can access other Warrior Life podcast episodes, my Indigenous Nationhood blog, my Youtube videos and my new podcast for kids called Warrior Kids Podcast:www.pampalmater.comIf you would like to help me keep my content independent, please consider supporting my work at Patreon:www.patreon.com/join/2144345Note: The information contained in this podcast is not legal, financial or medical advice, nor should it be relied on as such.
