Host needs moderation work
First, honor and excitement for this podcast — Listened to the “Silencing the Past” Trouillot episode which brought together some stellar scholars to a round table to discuss the impact of the text in our recent years, in and following 2020. Interspersed between scholars’ remarks about the text or social events, McNeil might chime in, “that’s really interesting” or “wow, that’s incredible” or but added so very little in the way of building, or drawing connections between ideas, I found myself skipping past his commentary and back to the scholars. Interviewing is a craft to be sure, and I’m not sure this host has it down yet, which makes listening to what is otherwise a powerful source for AfAm literature and scholarship a bit painful.

More reviews of New Books in African American Studies
I love this podcast. As a scholar it helps me keep up in the new books in the field and learn about topics in titles I may not have time to read myself. I find the interviewers to always be well informed and prepared and the scholars incredible impressive.

Echo chamber of white authors speaking from their white perspective on black history, when there are plenty of Black established authors writing on the same topics. White liberalism at its peak. do better

If you want to understand American history in real terms, listen to this podcast. My level of engagement and understanding of the plight of American people (past present and future), lives the scholarly exchanges covered in this podcast.
