DARAJA PRESS PODCASTSThreats to the Black Women's movement of the new Trump regimeThandisizwe Chimurenga talks about the threats to the Black Women's movement of the new Trump regime A society born of white supremacy and patriarchy must, by definition, ignore the voices of Black women. We know that unfortunately, such an attitude will also naturally seep into every stratum of that society. With the ascent of the Trump regime, a whole range of policies and practices are being implemented and more to be planned on both on the USA domestic scene as well as on the international arena. Thandisizwe Chimurenga is an award winning, Los Angeles-based freelance journalist and...2025-02-0536 min

DARAJA PRESS PODCASTSBeyond the Bill: What do elections have to do with freedom?Busia Senator and activist lawyer Okiya Omtatah recently declared his intent to run for president in 2027. Over his career, Omtatah has sued multinationals, government, politicians, and many others on behalf of the public interest and promises to focus on "anti-corruption measures" and executing the Constitution. We've spent many hours helping people understand the structural nature of what ails Kenya. Omtatah has certainly played an important role as an individual, but is this at odds with what would actually be necessary, structurally, to liberate Kenya from the root causes of its problems? How then should we think about electoral politics...2024-12-1443 min
DARAJA PRESS PODCASTSPalestine WailPalestine is personal for writer, Yahia Lababidi. His Palestinian grandmother, Rabiha Dajani — educator, activist and social worker — was forced to flee her ancestral home in Jerusalem at gunpoint some eighty years ago. As an Arab-American, Lababidi feels deeply betrayed by the USA’s blind support of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. In Palestine Wail, he reminds us that religion is not politics, Judaism is not Zionism, and to criticize the immoral, illegal actions of Israel is not antisemitism — especially since, as an Arab, Lababidi is a Semite himself. Using both poetry and prose, Lababidi reflects on how we are neither ou...2024-11-1852 min

DARAJA PRESS PODCASTSNight Settles Upon the CityWritten with urgency out of a war-time Beirut, this poetry collection registers the griefs and the heroism of the Lebanese, under siege yet again. Sabbagh lends his lyrical voice here, to give a voice to the voiceless, trying to find some harmonic sense out of catastrophe. This book will compel readers, both Lebanese and those with any kind of human heart. While much of the work was written swiftly, on impulse, and almost like, as one of the poem’s titles has it, a ‘War Diary,’ in verse, this work aims nonetheless to last in its significance and resonance at a t...2024-11-1234 min
DARAJA PRESS PODCASTSThe rise of racism in the UKAs many of our listeners will know, there have been racist uprsings across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The trigger for the riots was disinformation: that three small girls stabbed to death in Southport on 29 July had been killed by a Muslim asylum seeker. In fact, the suspected killer was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents and is not Muslim. It is true that rightwing mobilization and counter-mobilizations have been on an unprecedented scale, but has this not been building up over many decades? How is this related to Brexit, which some suggest that it was essentially the result...2024-08-1648 min
DARAJA PRESS PODCASTSImplications of the attempted assassination of Donald TrumpKali Akuko, co-founder and co-director of Cooperation Jackson, Mississippi, is back to update us on the implications of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. His view is that there is a strong likelihood now that Trump will win the elections. The strategy of the right to transform the USA may well be resisted by the Pentagon and others, so we cannot predict what will happen. It is likely that Trump will want to put boots on the ground in Palestine and the Middle East, but he is likely to abandon Ukraine as a lost cause.2024-07-1727 min
DARAJA PRESS PODCASTSThe 2024 elections and the rise of fascism in the USAKali Akuno, co-founder and co-director of Cooperation Jackson, Mississippi, speaks to Firoze Manji about the way in which the US right has organized and developed a well-thought strategy for taking control and transforming the entire political and social structure, even to the extent of planning changes to the US constitution. He discusses the implications for popular movements in the context of the disarray of the left, which has simply, as he puts it, “not got its shit together”.2024-07-161h 03
DARAJA PRESS PODCASTSBackground to the historic uprisings in KenyaJoe Kobuthi, senior editor of The Elephant (elephant.info), speaks to Firoze Manji on the background to the uprisings in Kenya. To understand why there has been such mobilizations, we have to look at the history of Kenya, the struggle for independence, the loss of real independence, the domination of neoliberal capitalism, and the situation in which the rich have got richer while the majority have been left destitute. What we are seeing is the potential emergence of a second independence movement. 2024-07-1646 min
