We're back on Gorilla History and we're joined by our distinguished guests and it's truly

an honor to say that we're joined by Professor Gerald Horn, who's the John J. and Rebecca

Morris Chair of History in African American Studies at the University of Houston.

He's written what's the latest, almost 40 books at this point, including a wide, wide

variety of topics, everything from Bach to Jazz to Hollywood to Paul Robison.

But I'll name a couple of his books just in case you people are looking for something

to pass your pandemics with reading because you're not going to find much better than what

Professor Horn puts out there.

Some of his books that I direct, Paul Robison, the artist's revolutionary, raced a revolution,

the United States and Cuba during slavery and Jim Crow, confronting black jackabins, Mao

Mao and Harlem, W.E.B. Du Bois, a Debiography, Black and Brown African Americans and the Mexican

Revolution.

And then the three books that we're going to be focused today, the Donning of the Apocalypse,

Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America in the long 16th century,

Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism, the Roots of Slavery White Supremacy and Capitalism

and 17th century North America in the Caribbean, and the book that we're going to start off

with the counter revolution of 1776.

Professor Horn, it's an absolute pleasure to have you on here and I can speak for all

of us when I say that I'm a big admirer of yours.

Well, thank you for inviting me.

Of course, it's our pleasure.

So without further ado, let's get into here.
