What do we need from the culture? Lovia Gyarkye on writing critically in an age of fascism

This week, we’re featuring an interview with the writer & culture critic Lovia Gyarkye, an editor at Hammer & Hope, a magazine of Black politics and culture. Lovia discusses her approach to cultural critique, looks back at a 2017 piece she wrote about Trevor Noah, makes a case for why everyone should become familiar with the Jamaican-born cultural theorist Stuart Hall. Also in this episode: An excerpt of a conversation with Conscious Lee about processing the news as an influencer.
