so many reasons why we should be resisting, right?

We've been hearing so many reasons why resistance is also a problem.

Even if you just put it in the context of Palestine, we are continuously hearing a one-sided

rendering of resistance as if only one side is deserving of resistance. When ironically,

the side that is getting the okay to resist are the actual occupying violent invasive side, is the occupying and violent invasive side.

Kelly Carter Jackson is joining us today and she just released her book, We Refuse a

forceful history of Black Resistance. And what this book does so beautifully and so eloquently

is it presents various versions of resistance beyond solely violence.

And it does so with an eloquence and an ease that I think a lot of people may not attribute to such a strong, powerful topic.

And for me, what I really appreciated about her writing was not only that it was so factually

robust, but also that it was so emotionally robust in really grounding these themes in

narrative and telling us real people and expounding upon these themes of force and protection and joy and flight through real life stories of our ancestors that have come before us.

And I cannot tell you all how necessary it is to not just let history inform you, but to let it inspire you. And today we're

talking about side effects of black resistance, namely because where I feel like so much of our

people are, and when I say our people, I don't even just mean black people. I mean people who

want a world that actually cares about people.

I feel like so much of where we are losing is in our inability to ground ourselves in real stories of praxis and practicality in the application of resistance then and how it can inspire and inform and be a source of innovation for acts of

resistance now. You know, when we talk about technology and AI and all of the efforts that are being

taken by Silicon Valley to undermine just even labor, we have to ask ourselves, well, what does resistance look like in this context?

And it will take using the tools of the past to be able to find out and figure that out.
