S1 FINALE #14 - BLACK STUDIES W/BLACK STUDIES DEGREE STUDENTS: "Ethnic Cleansing" in the Carrribean, Privy "Colonial" Council, David "No Reparations" Cameron, Being a BCU Black Studies Student + more - Make it Plain

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews discusses a current case in Barbuda being fought about the construction of a new private airport and beach developments by largely US, UK, and Chinese foreigners. It's a fight by local "land defenders" against foreign multinationals carving up the island for tourism, "freedom," and tax reduction purposes. Developers are destroying the island's resources, including food security, culture, and livelihoods This case is part of a larger problem with the Carribean's legacy as slave colonies.  - Check out the MIP YouTube Channel - This is going to be the final episode of Season 1 of MIP's Black Studies Podcast Series, we hope you've enjoyed it! To wrap it up, this week Kehinde Andrews asks a mixture of Black Studies undergraduates and MA students from all three Black Studies degree courses at Birmingham City Uni (@MYBCU) about their POVs of the course. The students featured are Eileen, Nae, Esther, Laura, Fonce, and Charlotte. The courses are pretty much all female students currently.  - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Barbudans battle for island in London courthttps://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/world-news/2023/11/08/barbudans-battle-for-island-in-london-court/ Gov’t to finance new prison itself – Chang https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20200608/govt-finance-new-prison-itself-chang ‘Black face of white supremacy’ https://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/features-news/2023/11/02/black-face-of-white-supremacy/ Voice Online: Britain's Favourite Black Newspaper https://www.voice-online.co.uk/ Proudjamaicans (reel about neo-colonization of Jamaica's beaches)https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxojVXwxFiF/ Biographies of the Justices https://www.jcpc.uk/about/biographies-of-the-justices.html David Cameron rules out slavery reparation during Jamaica visit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34401412 - GUEST INTERVIEW LINKS Birmingham City Universityhttps://www.bcu.ac.uk/ BLACK STUDIES (CRIMINAL JUSTICE) - BA (HONS) https://www.bcu.ac.uk/courses/black-studies-in-criminal-justice-ba-hons-2024-25 BLACK STUDIES - BA (HONS) https://bcu.ac.uk/courses/black-studies-ba-hons-2024-25 BLACK STUDIES - MA https://www.bcu.ac.uk/courses/black-studies-ma-2024-25 - Guest: Eileen, Nae, Esther, Laura, Fonce, and Charlotte (Black Studies Students) Host: @kehindeandrews (IG) @kehinde_andrews (T) Podcast team: @makeitplainorg @weylandmck @inhisownterms @farafinmuso Platform: www.make-it-plain.org (Web) | www.youtube.com/@MakeItPlain1964 (YT) - THE PSYCHOSIS OF WHITENESS: Surviving the Insanity of a Racist World By Kehinde Andrews Buy the Book:https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/316675/the-psychosis-of-whiteness-by-andrews-kehinde/9780241437476
