    Description

    Britain has never come to terms with its imperial past, and with the crimes of Empire rarely discussed, polls show more people are proud of that era than not. But according to a brilliant new book by leading academic Kehinde Andrews - The New Age of Empire - it's even worse than that: colonialism is still alive, and white supremacy is at its very heart.Help us take on the right-wing media here!: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

    Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
