Producer: Adaugo Uko. This podcast explores the hyper-normalisation of inequality and injustice through the racial infrastructure established in the US after the abolishment of Slavery. We see the death of Emmett Till, and the extraordinary actions of his mother (Mamie) as a shattering of this hyper-normalisation. With Professor George Lewis and Professor Lydia Plath, we explore how Mamie Till used the physicality of Emmett's mutilated body to breach the hyper-normalisation of the racial infrastructure.
