Peter and Mickey spend the hour in conversation with Carol Anderson. 

Her book, "White Rage," chronicles the history of white resistance and obstruction

to African-American equality, from the Reconstruction period to modern times.

 

Notes:

 

Carol Anderson is Professor of African-American Studies at Emory University in Atlanta. 

Her previous works include "Eyes Off the Prize" and "Bourgeois Radicals."  

Author and public intellectual Henry Giroux returns to the program to discuss his newest book, 

"American Nightmare: Facing the Challenge of Facism." Among his observations, he explains 

why the rise of Donald Trump was not an aberration, but the outcome of forces that have 

been at work for decades. 

This week's guest is author and law professor Dan Kovalik; he speaks about US interventions 

around the world, past and present, and the cost Americans pay to maintain the gigantic US military machine. 

 

Dan Kovalik is a retired labor-union attorney, and now teaches at the University of Pittsburgh Law School.
He is also a prolific author, and has recently had four books published on the Skyhorse label, all dealing with 

US interventions around the globe. 

In this week's program, we hear a speech given in 2018 by Mickey Huff as part of 

the annual Social Justice Week lecture series at Sonoma State University in California.

His topic was "Fake News and the Truth Emergency." In his speech, he took note 

of the deep historical roots of the concept of 'fake news,' including the origins 

of public relations in the early 20th century with Edward Bernays. 

Authors John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski are the guests for the hour; to speak about their recent book

The Watchdogs Didn't Bark. The product of years of investigation, it begins with the questions: why were

two of the September 11 hijackers, already in the US and on the FBI terrorist watch list, not apprehended 

long before the attacks took place, and why was no one in the US government held accountable? 

The authors find the answers in a complex web of spy agency rivalries and coverups.
