  2. Mao and the Mango

    15/10/2024

    Mao and the Mango

    What’s the link between China’s Cultural Revolution and mangoes from Pakistan? In this episode, we explore one case of how food was used as a propaganda tool. Britney takes us back to the late 1960s, when Mao Zedong launched a nationwide political movement to purge remnants of capitalism and imperialism. Amid the violence and upheaval, a gift of mangos from Pakistan’s foreign minister became a sometimes deadly symbol of Mao. This episode uncovers the surprising and dark role that the mango played in this violent era. Listener discretion is advised: The story is juicy like a mango, but certainly not sweet.
