-
- Society & Culture
Episode 5 looks at the way the Kurdish Freedom Movement has undergone deep change with the New Paradigm since 1999, and the similar shift that Huey P. Newton envisioned for the Black Panther Party with his Revolutionary Intercommunalism decades earlier. I follow the effects of such changes in ideology and the impacts they have today in both movements through currents and groups like the Kurdistan Communities Union, the Black Lives Matter movement, Cooperation Jackson, and Black Women’s Defense League.
Songs:
“Efrîn Tola Salan” by Mehmûd Berazî
“Ay Dilbere” by Aram Tigran
“Changes” by Phil Ochs
“A Change Is Gonna Come” by Otis Redding (Sam Cooke cover)
