    Media Narratives & Hegemonic Discourses w/ Greg Shupak & Stuart Davis

    In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring back two outstanding guests, Stuart Davis (whom you will remember from our episode Sanctions As War (alongside Manny Ness)), and Greg Shupak (whom you will remember from our episode The History and Impact of Sanctions on Syria).  Here, we discuss a topic that each of them has done a lot of work on - media narratives and hegemonic discourses.  This is an incredibly important conversation, and a very interesting discussion as well.  As we say in the episode, this is one that is perfect for sharing with friends and family members who may not already be highly tuned in to political affairs, but who understand that the media may be manipulating them! Greg Shupak is a professor of English and Media Studies and is the author of the book, The Wrong Story: Palestine, Israel, and the Media.  You can follow him on twitter @GregShupak, and you should definitely check out the writing he does at Electronic Intifada. Stuart Davis is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Baruch College, the City University of New York he focuses on digital media advocacy, protest politics, and digital media and public health, particularly in the Latin American context. You can find more of Stuart's work on his faculty page, or on his Google Scholar page. Additionally, pick up Sanctions As War, the outstanding book he coedited alongside Manny Ness.

    With this episode of Guerrilla History, were continuing our series on African Revolutions and Decolonization with an outstanding case study on the Congo, looking at the process of colonization, how decolonization unfolded, Lumumba's short time as Prime Minister, and the transition to the Mobutu regime.  We really could not ask for a much better guest than Prof. Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja, who not only is one of the foremost experts in not only this history, but also served as a diplomat for the DRC.  We're also fortunate that the professor will be rejoining us for the next installment of the series, a dispatch on what is going on in the Eastern Congo and the roots of the ongoing conflict there.  Be sure to share this series with comrades, we are still in the very early phases of the planned ~40 parts, so it is a great time for them to start listening in as well!   Also subscribe to our Substack (free!) to keep up to date with what we are doing.  With so many episodes coming in this series (and beyond), you won't want to miss anything, so get the updates straight to your inbox.  guerrillahistory.substack.com   Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja is Professor Emeritus of African and Afro-American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and previously served as the DRC's Permanent Representative to the United Nations.  Additionally, he is the author of numerous brilliant books, including Patrice Lumumba and The Congo from Leopold to Kabila: A People's History Help support the show by signing up to our patreon, where you also will get bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/guerrillahistory
