In this intellectually stimulating episode of NO GPS, Mez & Aharon engage in a profound discussion with special guest Professor Daniel McNeil, delving into the nuanced themes of his seminal work, 'Thinking While Black.' This conversation transcends the ordinary and navigates the complex waters of the Black Atlantic, touching upon its historical, cultural, and philosophical underpinnings.
The groundwork for this enlightening dialogue was laid in the thought-provoking 3-part series, 'The Soul Rebel Generation,' which is available on various platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Throughout this series, Mez & Aharon wrestled with the rich and deep meanings laden in 'Thinking While Black,' setting the stage for this episode's deep and immersive conversation.
Mez, Aharon, and Professor Daniel McNeil explore the depths of Black Canadian expressive cultures, seeking out the authentic and transformative experiences that lie beyond the confines of institutionalized multicultural events like Caribana. Professor McNeil's profound insights shed light on Canada's cultural landscape, offering a perspective that transcends the conventional narratives.
The conversation also touches upon the imperative of carrying forward the cultural legacy of previous generations, translating their political struggles into contemporary contexts and building upon their foundations of freedom fighting. Lastly, we hope this discussion leaves you with a renewed perspective on Black Atlantic cultural productions, politics and histories.
And yes, Professor Daniel McNeil does know Canada better than Canadians!
