  • the impact of africa on malcolm x & malcolm x’s impact on africa

    the impact of africa on malcolm x & malcolm x’s impact on africa
    Feb 18 2026
    What we you hear next is a recent community dialogue that explored the impact of Africa on El Hajj Malik El Shabzz’s thought and practice and Malik Shabazz’s impact on Africa. What we are concerned with, specifically, with this dialogue is the impact of East Africa, generally, revolutionary Kenya, in particular on Malik Shabazz’s thought and practice. We pay attention to attention to the evolutions of Malik Shabazz’s clarity on the role of revolutionary struggle through his direct relationship with revolutionaries in Kenya [East Africa more broadly]. The question[s] that framed this dialogue were: 1. What was the influence of revolutionaries in East Africa, generally, Kenya, specifically on Malik El Shabazz political, cultural, and economic praxis? Here, we mapped the Land and Freedom Army [known in colonialist discourse and historical memory as the Mau Mau Rebellion as well as was his relationship with Pio Gama Pinto, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, and Abdulrahman Mohamed Babu? 2. What strains of Malik Shabazz’s praxis are important to contextualizing current geopolitical and national questions, and are applicable to this current moment? Here I think it would useful to suggest to you, our listeners, to explore some of his work; intentionally engaging his speeches, lectures, and/or talks as well as his project to take the U.S. [in relation to the colonial question that includes people of African descent in the US, and ultimately Western nations] to a world court, his developing application [and it can be argued implicitly, critique] of human rights [where there is a clear sharpening of human rights theory and practice to engage an African world perspective]; his contributions and attempts to extend Pan Africanism, challenging Black Internationalism as framework to understanding national oppression, autonomy, and personhood. For more, it is highly recommended to explore the work of Africa World Now Project Collaborative … as well as the • Kenyan Organic Intellectuals [a very important collective of revolutionaries in Kenya who are extensions of this history and more!] • Engage an article titled: El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz: the Continuity and Legacy of a Critical Africana Human Rights Consciousness [an article that extends and expands on many of the points made in the lecture, which is also available if you follow Africa World Now Project Collective’s social media and look in the bios of our various social platforms for access to the this article and extensive archive] • Visit https://alkalimat.org/ and https://www.brothermalcolm.net/mxcontent.html, where Professor Abdul Alkalimat has developed a series lectures called MalcolmX100 as well as an absolutely incredible archive of work on and by Bro Malcolm complied by Abdul Alkalimat] [Selected Work on Malcolm X]. • Black Men Build where you can find work on contemporary implications of Malcolm X as well as a re/released and update of a Study Guide on Malcolm developed by Abdul Alkalimat and co. • Of course, you can explore the work of Africa World Now Project Collective, where you will find a playlist of programs that explore, in more depth, some of these questions. As well as explorations and extensions of Africana sociopolitical thought and practice. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; Ghana, Ayiti, and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples! Listen intently. Think critically. Act accordingly. Enjoy the program!

  • We Are Internationalists: Prexy Nesbitt & the fight for African Liberation w/ Martha Biondi & Prexy Nesbitt

    We Are Internationalists: Prexy Nesbitt & the fight for African Liberation w/ Martha Biondi & Prexy Nesbitt
    Feb 9 2026
    History, the writing of history, can be a messy process. Movement history, that is an exploration and examination of the forces that constitute struggle, its successes and on-going defeats adds even more complexity to understanding and the uses of history. Specifically as it relates to the building of a historical consciousness that is necessary to wage contemporary struggle. This notion, when applied to Southern Africa’s liberation struggles, is useful when attempting to delineate and extract frameworks for understanding current conditions and building liberatory objectives, particularly if the objectives are motivated by the desire to not reconstitute past mistakes. The process to identify where to extend and expand upon practices that were left incomplete and needed to continue struggle, cannot negate the centrality of the impetus to ‘tell no lies, claim no easy victories.’ This means, above all, developing the requisite historical consciousness to understand what was done in order to know ‘what is to be done’. “Success” in southern Africa came, paradoxically, when capital, finding itself under substantial political pressure (especially in South Africa) came slowly but surely to be convinced that the profitable links that the global capitalist system had forged with racist and apartheid-defined structures in southern Africa were making capitalism itself dangerously vulnerable to mass action. And this in turn moved capital to reconsider its options and to admit to itself that its links to race-defined rule were now best understood as having been merely a contingent, time-bound tactic in its quest, most centrally, for class privilege and power. How much wiser, capitalists increasingly thought, to abandon apartheid, to coopt the vanguard of the popular movement into capital's camp, and to thus preempt any more radical, even revolutionary possibilities [Saul, On Building a Social Movement: The North American Campaign for Southern African Liberation Revisited, 2017]. The fact is that it was on such grounds that liberation movements conceded to capital for change in South Africa. Martha Biondi is Lorraine H. Morton Professor of Black Studies and Professor of History at Northwestern University and author of The Black Revolution on Campus and To Stand and Fight: The Struggle for Civil Rights in Postwar New York City. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Prexy Nesbitt was educated at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, earning a degree in Political Science with a minor in Nineteenth Century Russian Literature. He went on to attend the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Northwestern and Columbia University. His work includes direct and indirect activity in six Southern African liberation movements: African National Congress (ANC); Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO); Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA); Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU); and the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU); the Southwest African People's Organization (SWAPO), as well as with the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC). Returning to Chicago in the 1980s, he worked as a labor organizer and as special aid to then Chicago mayor Harold Washington. He was later appointed consultant to represent the country and its interests in the United States, Canada, and Europe by the independent Mozambican government. As an activist and an educator, he has organized and taught throughout the U.S. and around the world.

  • the question of Venezuela and the role of the working class

    the question of Venezuela and the role of the working class
    Feb 2 2026
    We are honored to have with us, again, The Honorable Fravia Marquez Silva, 2nd Advisor To Venezuela’s National Assembly and Spokeswomen for Cumbe International and recently launched Bring The Back Movement and Venezuela’s Charge D’Affaires to Belgium and Venezuela’s Preeminent Trade Unionist H.E. Ambassador Marcos Garcia. This program explored: 1) The effects of US imperial aggression on the working class in Venezuela? 2) The [immediate and long term] impact on the working class throughout the hemisphere? 3) What are some ways the working class in the Americas can support the working class in Venezuela that can possibly be expanded to other regions under attack? 4) How can we think about this moment in a way that can increase class solidarity in the hemisphere and throughout the world? This program is a collaborative project between Shirley Graham Du Bois/William Worthy Media and Friendship Collective & Africa World Now Project Collective.

Professor Paul Zeleza brings perspective to how we as non-African natives view the African Diaspora in terms of education and religion. The baseline of our knowledge production is heavily influenced by the constructed agenda of those who want to control the narrative which in turn are highly inaccurate. The challenges of access and resources to higher education in certain areas of the African continent, and opportunities to build universities that help build the intellectual economy and so much more! I am eager to knowledge build with more works from Paul Zeleza. This was a refreshing build for critical thought on the global level in our current situation…

Refreshing!
