Summary

Around the world and back again, episode 100 of the Antifada! And what better circumstances under which to record an release than the largest national uprising in several generations?

Jamie, Sean and Andy analyze the revolt that has arisen since the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis: the connection between the carceral state and crisis; the racial caste system that divides us and benefits the rich; the reaction on the streets of Minneapolis; the meaning of abolition; and what to make of America in the age of riots. Tune in for our on the ground account of what's been happening on the streets of NYC.

Intro - Assault on Precinct 13 Title Theme

Outro - Afrika Bambaataa & Family - Bambaataa's Theme
