Welcome to another episode of 1919Radio. To commemorate Prisoner Justice Day, we are hosting Matthew Campbell-Williams and Fiona Bailey to have a wide ranging conversation on the realities of incarceration in Canada. Matthew is a criminal defence/prison law student and organizer with the Toronto Prisoner Rights Project, and Fiona Bailey is a cook, entrepreneur, and formerly incarcerated mother.
Prison Justice Day started on August 10, 1976, to remember two prisoners who died while locked up in solitary confinement in a Canadian Maximum Security Institution. PJD has become an international day to recognize all those who have died unnatural deaths while in prison. Every August 10, prisoners hold a one-day work stoppage and hunger strike, while supporters on the outside hold community events to educate the public to the conditions of Canadian prisons.

Welcome to 1919Radio’s Black Geographies podcast series! This 4-part Black Geographies podcast series brings together four authors in the emerging field of Black geographies to explore the conditions of Blackness across multiple spatial dimensions. The goal of this series is to bring radical ideas of race, space, and the politics of place out of academia and into our community and streets through an engaging and open access medium.
In the fourth and final episode of our Black Geographies Podcast Series, our host Mohamed Nuur sits down with Dr. Brian Jefferson, an Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign and author of Digitize and Punish: Racial Criminalization in the Digital Age. The conversation starts off with Dr. Jefferson walking us through the main arguments of his book and moves into a more wide-ranged discussion on racial capitalism, the relationship between computing technology & mass incarceration, surveillance & biometrics, Foucaultian biopolitics, and the meaning of necropolitics. The conversation ends off with a discussion surrounding abolition as the only solution to digitized criminalization.

Dr. Brown is the Associate Professor in the Department of African and African Diaspora Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. She is also a Research Director of critical surveillance inquiry with Good Systems, a research collaborative at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as the author of the 2015 book ‘Dark Matters. Listen as these two discuss life under surveillance, black ways of knowing and surviving, and the governable worlds we live in. Dr. Brown invites us to think about how biometric technologies, regimes of surveillance, illegibility, and the politics of recognition shape and govern black life in a post 911 era. Toward the end of the episode, Dr. Brown gestures to the work of Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Mariame Kaba & grassroots organizers on how to live and dream abolition as practices of liberation.

In the second episode of our Black Geographies podcast series, Mohamed Nuur sits down with guest Dr. Brandi Summers to discuss her 2019 book Black in Place: The Spatial Aesthetics of Race in a Post Chocolate City. In this wide-ranging conversation she defines concepts such as gentrification and neoliberalism and analyzes how they relate to Blackness and Black people living across urban contexts from Washington DC to Toronto and beyond. We begin by exploring the history of the H-Street corridor in the post-civil rights era and the resulting impacts of gentrification. Near the end of the episode Dr. Summers discusses diversity and multiculturalism as tools used for the commodification and erasure of Blackness.
