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. And Chenjerai responds to voicemails from the Unruly Hotline. Last week’s question was: “How do you balance your love life with the struggle?”
This week’s question is “Do you think differences in child rearing have more to do with race/ethnicity - age/generational differences or other factors?” Call 215-436-9212 to leave your response.
