On this installation of Year Zero we sit down with author and scholar Jordan T. Camp to talk about the work of geographer Clyde Woods and his book "Development Arrested." We cover the political economy of white supremacy, how to study a region, how the planter bloc never really went away after the Civil War, and how the blues came to be born.
