Summary

While hardly a counter-cultural figure himself, the late Samuel Francis was enormously influential in fringe right-wing movements at the turn of the century, helping to popularize with his writing both an explicitly racialist view of civilization and a "Gramscian" strategy - after the theories of Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci -  of cultural warfare. Without Francis, the Alt-Right and "white nationalism" as we (unfortunately) know it today would almost certainly not exist, at least not in the U.S. "Angry White Male," a vivid and prescient 1996 profile of Francis by D.C. journalist John Cloud, looks at the internecine battles within conservatism during the 1990s that led to Francis being fired from The Washington Times. In this episode, Joe & Josh examine how a dour Southern traditionalist - whose thought was, at heart, simply a defense of the white supremacist society in which he was raised - paved the way for sh*tlords, edgelords, and racist trolls to take the struggle for cultural hegemony online.“Angry White Male” by John Cloud, The Washington City Paper, 1996https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/news/article/13010023/angry-white-maleOptional:“Why Race Matters,” by Samuel Francis, American Renaissance, 1994http://www.unz.org/Pub/AmRenaissance-1994sep-0000“Unpatriotic Conservatives” by David Frum, National Review, 2003http://www.nationalreview.com/article/391772/unpatriotic-conservatives-david-frumLet us know what you think: [email protected]

    #13 Writing a Good Discursive Essay with Robyn Mowatt

    Release Date: 04/28/2020

    Description: In this episode we discuss how to write a good discursive history essay according to IEB assessment criteria. Robyn is an assessment specialist with the IEB (Independent Examinations Board) in South Africa. We find out why we write essays in history. We discuss the types of essays written in the IEB. We look at all the important features of a good discursive essay. We try to establish how the discursive essay links to historical inquiry in general. We analyze the whole process of essay writing from selecting the right question, unpacking the question, doing your planning, writing a good introduction, the importance of proper paragraphs, and rounding it off with a suitable conclusion. How long should my essay be? What words are important when writing this type of essay? Finally, we scrutinize the rubric for the discursive essay. Please send us your questions and suggestions to the twitter handle @WilliamHPalk. Support the Show.
