FM Feb 23, 2022: “Read Until You Understand” / Imagining A Safer World for Black Women

THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen :  

FIRST … Guest host Alexis Pauline Gumbs in a brilliant and joyful conversation with author and scholar Farah Jasmine Griffin, about her book Read Until You Understand:
The Profound Wisdom of Black Life and Literature. Griffin’s latest book entwines memoir, history, and art, asking us to grapple with the continuing struggle for Black freedom and the ongoing project that is American democracy. And in this personal and profound conversation we hear about grace and love, abolition and justice, and the books that inspire them.

AND … Lisa Dettmer of KPFA Radio’s Women’s Magazine discusses violence against Black women and girls – focusing on the history of police violence against Black, Indigenous & other women of color, and queer people – and activist responses and visioning solutions other than policing. With Janelle White, Executive Director of San Francisco Women Against Rape, and author and police misconduct attorney Andrea J. Ritchie.
