africa? he said it was worse. he made this case that america was worse than south africa because at least south africa, he said, south africa breaches segregation and actually segregates, while america preaches equality and segregates. so to him, they were doing the same thing, but one was not openly admitting to what they were doing. he also said that south africa is like a vicious wolf, openly hostile towards black humanity. black america -- i'm sorry, america, is cunning like a fox, friendly and smiling, but even more vicious and deadly than the wolf. he framed south africa as this vicious wolf and america as this cunning fox. the reason why this is interesting is because it is a nice segue to what we are going to talk about next time, his views on the liberal versus the conservative. he would of course make this case that both the liberal and the conservative are enemies of african-americans, but they are certainly different, and he would of course classify the conservative as the vicious wolf and the liberal as the cunning fox. i don't wan

the new cartography of slavery hold that break together the histories of europe, africa and america.one of their most will principal readers fought in each kind of new campaign he was an elite official on the gold coast trading with british forces and probably engaging in combat with political levels, captured and enslaved by royal navy ship captain he fought in naval battles against the french. he was a driver on the captain sugar plantation helping to keep other workers in subjection for a time before he came to lead an uprising that the british would call a race war. as he engaged in these struggles he connected with small-scale everyday violence and enslavement and coerced slavery to the grand scale of imperial geopolitics. across best instances these wars within wars connected the constituent elements of empire and insurrection. such an integrated history of slave takes us far from the plantation beyond relations between masters and slaves and outside the conventional locations for observing racial violence. sectors of slave war in jamaica formed and intertwined itineraries of s

it's not a surprise when we think about these emerging infections they tend to come from africa or south americaarts of southeast asia where you have a lot of connection with animals, bird flu is another good example where you have people in china and other parts of southeast asia live very close to their birds or owl or chickens and it's a great opportunity for these viruses to swap their genes and eventually affect humans and become global pandemics. those are some sensitive environmental conditions that lead to these infections and why we keep hearing about them. >> to watch the rest of the program and find other books on pandemics, this Ãbvisit our website booktv.org type " pandemic " and the word book in the search box at the top of the page. >> book tv covers book fairs and festivals around the country year-round. here's an update on this springs festivals of the san antonio book festival and the annapolis book festival scheduled for later this month have both been canceled. in the los angeles times festival of books originally set for april has been rescheduled for october. until book fai

because at least south africa, he says -- south africa preaches segregation and actually segregates. while america preaches equality and segregates. and so for him, they were doing the same thing but one was not openly admitted to what they were doing. he also said south africa is like a vicious wolf. openly hostile towards black humanity. black america -- i'm sorry, america he said is like a -- is cunning like a fox. friendly and smiling but even more vicious and deadly than the wolf. and so, of course, he framed south africa as this visual wolf and america as this cunning fox. the reason whey this is interesting is because it's a nice segue to what we're going to talk about next time. right? his views on the liberal versus the conservative. right? and he would, of course, make this case that both the liberal and the conservative are enemies of african-americans. but they're certainly different. and he would, of course, classify the conservative as the vicious wolf and the liberal as the cunning fox. but i don't want to give that away. we'll talk about that next time. thank you. y'all have a good

almost all the rest comes from asia and south america and africa. it's not coming to the united states and europe. the other aspect is crazy about the band is that when you ban plastic grocery bags you are increasing carbon emissions. all the substitutes paper bags, tote bags, they ultimately involve more carbon emissions because they're so much heavier, takes more energy to transport them and ship them. i know calculations that said san francisco bag plastic grocery bags and may have doubled its greenhouse emissions. as a result of that. in the piece i talk about, i picked the one original contribution on this people written some of this before. as i think the explanation of this, you have to go back to the laws of the middle ages when nobles pass all these laws about who could wear what, who could use what. again, these laws are fully ineffective. historians wonder why they keep passing these laws it never did any good? the answer was it gave these people a great killing of power, made them feel virtuous and kept commoners in their place. that is

i think saturn it soon acquires as best as factories in developing countries in africa south america and asia india and its internet had 5 factories. one of these factories in kind more is well known to the indian lawyer to prove. that factories have been opened up just to take advantage of black floors so while the why of why are you here so we're trying to bring a case here in belgium we've been trying to see the options but you know ortiz according to millions it's a quarter and a court case against. the text the parent company saying that you knew very well when you were operating these factories that such best os was a cost in a gentle yet you operate at these factories negligent well over a court case we were able to prove done since 963 degrees so no way they can say when they were doing that in the ninety's until 2002 and they cannot say that they've no look at it it's everywhere. what's happened is nothing less than corporate homicide. if you made a decision that has cost the lives of people then you should be held accountable for it in a criminal court. i wanted to see time

person and murders is from bats and camels so it's not a surprise that they tend to come from africa or south america or southeast asia with connection with the animals. and those that are very close to the date on - - the pigs and birds andd foul. with the global pandemics. so in that subset to lead to these infections. so often climate change is framed as an economicco issue. over the last year or two as a public health issue of what is happening with the climate currently. so april with the hottest record on one - - year on record since 1980 people ask me how do you know 191 - - 1880? believe that are not if you are a farmer it is really important to you what the temperature is so there are excellent records about what temperature looks like at least the 100 years the same thing with marine temperatures if you are a captain doing your daily log he would be logging the water temperature. so we have excellent records but april was the hottest year on record and the 12th hottest year in a row. this is not a coincidence what is happening with climate. if you look at carbon dioxide not 400 parts per mi

stories of place in territories and movement and a new cartography the histories of europe and africa and america. one of the principal leaders the elite official on the gold coast to engage combat with political rivals captured and enslaved and fought naval battles against the french and the driver on that sugar plantation and then to be called a race war. and every day violence of enslavement and course labor to the grand scale of geopolitics. each of this mask interlocking patterns across vast distances to elements of empire and diaspora. and to take us far from the plantations beyond masters and slaves from racial violence. the slave or from those soldiers of europe and africa those empires and slaves that were swept up on both sides of the atlantic ocean. that shapes the our pal ago - - archipelago from the world history from below. now, i will let you read the account for yourself.

so it isn't a surprise they tend to come from africa or south america or parts of southeast asia where you have a lot of connections with animals. bird flu is another example where you have people in china and southeast asia that live very close to pigs and birds, foul, chickens and it's a great opportunity for the viruses this up and eventually infect humans and become global pandemics so those are the environmental conditions that lead to these infections and why we keep hearing about them. i want to d wanted to a specialo climate change as one of those environmental factors that lead to emerging infections. first i want to say it is framed as either an economic issue or energy and i think over the last year or two we have been doing better reframing this as a public health issue of what's happening with climate currently. april was the hottest record, hottest year on record since 1880 and people ask me how did you know what was going on in 1880 and believe it or not if you are a farmer it's important to you with the temperature is so there are excellent records about the temperature

europe has it, africa has it, america has it, the only person who doesn't have it is that guy in theker in "parasite," but he's got other problems. ( laughter ) if you're in a sparsely populated area, you might be okay, but one of the worst things you can do is be in any kind of cramped space where people are packed tightly together, like a live studio audience for a late night show. those people are screwed. but not you guys. you guys are fine. ( laughter ) it's even worse in a city like new york which is basically one big studio audience. the good news, governor andrew cuomo is taking action. >> governor andrew cuomo is declaring a stieft emergency in new york as dozens new cases of coronavirus are determined each day with testing happened around the clock. >> contain, contain, get a lead, chase it down, chase it down, find a positive, quarantine. >> governor andrew m. cuomo sounding the alarm riding the subways. >> if you see a packed car, let it go by, wait for the next train. >> trevor: to minimize your risk in new york city, wait for a less crowded train. we have a live image o

it's wonderful if people come and hear a story from africa, or norway, or north america, or 0rkney, and "i wonder if there are any stories about the place that i come from?" now, we're going to hearfrom a lot of different people today, friends from near and far... you can decide at the end if this really happened... the waves were coming up over the harbour, the wind was blowing... every single time she broke a lump of beet, a mouse fell out... the next day, hare showed up at 0tter‘s place, and 0tter had prepared a beautiful feast for him... tonight is the last night of the 0rkney storytelling festival, and it's the grand finale so it's the absolute best of the best. she had no money left... spit on the coals of the fire, the coals flame up... i think stories really unite people, and if you have this shared experience and cultural heritage, it does make you stronger, especially if there are values in the stories that you really identify with and that are really important to you, and say, "yes, i belong to the culture that owns these stories." for storytelling and the folklore to survive

it's not a surprise when we think about these emerging infections they tend to come from africa or south america or parts of southeast asia wary of a lot of connection with the end of a bird flu is another good example. you people in china and other parts of southeast asia who live very close to their pigs and birds there is a great opportunity for them to swap their genes and effectually infect humans. those are some set of environmental conditions that lead to these infections and why we keep hearing about them. to watch the rest of this program and find other books on pandemics visit our website. follow the federal response to the coronavirus outbreak at c-span.org. watch congress, white house precincts and updates from government. watch on demand anytime unfiltered at c-span.org. /coronavirus. coming up next on book tv the journalist chip walter has a science of antiaging. the u.s. military is hurting and self in the country by elevating loyalty over all other values. and is followed by american institute scholar. the future is still bright for those who want to become successful in the u.s.

and along the way we shouldn't forget the rest of the world to many developing countries in africa or latin americathis is only starting to affect them and we need to stand ready to help in solidarity and we shouldn't forget the migrants at our doorsteps 'd that are living in incredible incredibly difficult conditions and camps in greece in turkey and we shouldn't just turn inwards because this is about europe as an open society and if we want to preserve your of as an open society we need to make sure we invested it and go against those the author terence be they from beijing or be they in budapest than that take advantage of this last word to julia in perugia julia world war 2 united europe might coronavirus divides it irreparably unfortunately that i think is at high risk italy itself has a large number of euro skeptic people and already there are talks of whether this government currently which is which is currently law but whether it will survive after this crisis and if we have to go back to elections because as you know it only works on call missions now if we go back to elections if the e.u

those are the breeding grounds of epidemics, africa, south america, asia, where that practice is commone epidemics typically arise from those environments. if it can come from wildlife it can go to the human or to life stock and into the human. that's a recipe for a pandemic. >> how is coronavirus spread? >> this particular -- coronaviruses in general and this one is spread through direct contract when you cough or sneeze, liquid droplets come out of your mouth. if you've seen one in slow motion, it travels from three to six feet. direct contact with mouth, nose or eyes. or you have been contaminated yourself, your hands, touching a surface like a desk or your keyboard like we saw with the kids, and then you go back and touch your eyes, nose or mouth. >> and probably more we're even thinking about it and obsessed with it. how to prepare for coronavirus? >> that's difficult. the only one i can say is it's not a bad idea to have a few days of supplies. and i've been through a number of national disasters. i would recommend that on a normal day to have a few days worth of food and supplies

america. women in africa also face widespread discrimination and sexual abuse that top of everything also severely limits their economic opportunities one example is the transport industry which is dominated by men and many women are now testing the boundaries we met a woman in nairobi who is braving the challenges making a bold statement. for caroline our song the day begins at 5 am it's dark and her neighborhood isn't the safest but her job demands an early start . she's a conductor on one of my roadies buses on my tattoos as a local. single mom the job pays the school fees for her 2 sons an adopted child and her sister. it does mean a lot because even a moment when you can imagine when that we're taking my 1st one in 41 we were 15 i think who are only 70000. and then my mother said what in that nasty. matter sector is tough the wages vary by the day and conductors like caroline are the lowest. when she started out she under quitman of 6 euro's a day what's more touchy workers face daily harassment from the police their colleagues and the passengers while caroline of learn to stand up for hersel

the north, in the urban south, on the west coast, but also nationally and also in vietnam, africa, latin america. it wants to understand these things. one of the big differences, and sometimes people conflate this, they say black power activists, because of their critique of american democracy, didn't leave an american democracy. walters does. and by the end of his life, some say he is just talking about moral assuageian. there are block power activists who are marcus -- are marxists, socialists, want to different system, but what ronald walters was talking about is how we leverage black power to transform democratic institutions. and he is interested in policy, ny white politics is just intent on white public policy, and he is interested in illustrating that. one thing walters does in his 2003 book on white nationalism is cast they light on something we saw nationally and globally, to people's surprise, in 2016 this idea avoid nationalism, this idea of white group interests converging around a few things, not just anti-black and anti-latino racism, but converging around preserving white privile

we're trying to meet the chinese and then some, for example, in the middle east, and in africa, and in latin america, and we see the chinese making inroads into europe, and that keeps the eu from making decisions the way we might want them to, i wonder if it all sort of becomes a little important and to combat everything we see them doing. what can we afford not to do? >> i think first of all one of the key things we have to do is unwind ourselves from ongoing efforts. i think the efforts toward china create a political agreement in afghanistan. it is a good way to begin to draw down our presence. i recognize that that is like many things is an imperfect approach, but it did you want get better if we don't try to move forward on this. so i think the first thing we do have to do is big to extra case ourse ourselves from these conflicts. the situation here, there was an opportunity i think for us to begin to draw down forces there and get them to a more sustainable level. the numbers there comparatively are not as high frankly, but they could be lower. that could be a way to do that as well. i think o

few infections in latin america and across africa but those numbers a tick up in countries like nigeria for instance africa's most populous nation is also battling the world's largest outbreak of last a fever a viral disease more fatal in covert 19 liberia where more than 4000 people died of a bowler in 2014 it's declared a state of emergency and in the caribbean haiti is still recovering from natural disasters and an outbreak of cholera the u.n. is asking for $2000000000.00 to help poor nations. i have just sent a letter to the leaders of the g. 20 i think it is clear that we need the much stronger coordination coordination in suppression of the disease coordination in making sure that not only the developed countries can respond effectively to the uses but that there is massive support to the developing world not to let the disease spread like wildfire in the developer will hear the main challenges that developing nations face in their fight against the pandemic millions of people do not have access to basic washing facilities sanitation and hygiene and many can't afford to buy hand s
