LEFT/OVER Episode 55. - The Right Side of History feat. Eleanor Janega
Manage episode 324303380 series 2875705
As we all collectively try to heal from the trauma of witnessing this generation's 9/11 - Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars - we are joined by superstar Medieval historian Eleanor Janega to discuss the far right and its misappropriation of history. The concerted effort to reframe and revise particularly struggles of power throughout history is not a project limited to the far right, as we discuss, but in fact, creeping government policy. We discuss all this and more, particularly why it is important for us all to have historical literacy.
