The call of a perpetual now

“This work presents a compelling treatises, that lands at a a pivotal moment—arguably, an inflection point.
It’s treatment of the legacy of reconstructions, it’s sabotage, and the recurrent cycles of murderous backlash, is crucial for any laywomen seeking to get to grips with that most elusive of political animals, the American ‘psyche’.
It’s transactional character. It’s almost irrational allegiance to hope, and love—eloquently portrayed by Sen. Cory Booker (who is emerging as the moral backbone of the Progressive wing of the Democratic Party). It’s dialectical historicity, revision, backlash, one steps forward, two steps backward. All are examined and contextualised, with relevant and evocative examples.
This is ‘Eye On The Prize’ for a listening generation. Circumnavigating your eyes, the semiotics implicit in images, and going straight for the jugular: the mind. Your faculty of reason.

“Dr. Gaude has a very beautiful voice and the production is top notch. However I still found myself disappointed in the podcast. After listening to 4 episodes I still haven’t learned anything new. Perhaps, this series is meant for someone with no history background . I feel like I wasted my time.”
