GND Classic: Climate Reparations with Dr Keston Perry

This episode was first broadcast on June 14th 2021This week on the show we are joined by Dr Keston Perry. Keston is a lecturer in economics and political economy at University of West of England (UWE).We discuss in practical terms what reparations would mean, the historical racism embedded into Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and how a Green New Deal must be designed in that context, as well as the reverberations of the Haitian Revolution and how taking a paternalistic approach to defeating climate change won't bring justice to those most effected by it.LinksSorting out the Mixed Economy by Amy Offnerhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ehr.12988How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodneyhttps://www.versobooks.com/books/2785-how-europe-underdeveloped-africaWilliam Sandy Darity on reparations https://reparations4slavery.com/william-sandy-darity-jr/Shout outs Professor Maxine Burkett Asad Rehman@chilledasad100Alex O'keefe- Ex Sunrise Movement leader for holding the movement to a higher standard@_dotgovAlex's Thread on the situation at Sunrisehttps://twitter.com/_dotgov/status/1402249288818769920Cycling UK- for their campaign Big bike revival @WeAreCyclingUKThe fantastic organisations supporting refugees across the UK to mark Refugee Week 2021@RefugeeAction@GMIAU@AmnestyUK@FreefromTorture@AsylumMatters@FootballMuseumSupport the show
