Gerald Horne with Charisse Burden-Stelly on the longue durée of apocalypse

February 20, 2024

Interviewer Charisse Burden-Stelly begins, "....apocalypse represented, for African and indigenous folks, the end of life as they knew it—that is, a life free from enslavement, genocide, and ongoing violence wrought by the insatiable drive of the group that came to be known as “whites” for endless profit. This ending was simultaneously the beginning of a capitalist world economy rooted in racial hierarchy, imperial domination, and militarized social relations, of which neoliberalism is merely the most recent enunciation."
