Histories of anti-Blackness in Canada and today's social movements

Talking Radical Radio

In episode #289 of Talking Radical Radio (October 2, 2018), Scott Neigh interviews Robyn Maynard. She is a Black feminist writer and long-time anti-authoritarian organizer who has been active in movements around racial profiling, police violence, migrant justice, sex worker rights, and harm reduction, mostly in Montreal. Since the publication of her book *Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present* (Fernwood Publishing, 2017), she has been doing launch events and speaking engagements in communities across the country. Maynard talks about the book, and about what she has learned via conversation with activists and organizers in the course of her touring about the book's uptake in movement contexts and about the state of Black struggles in Canada today.
