and that narrative of the that government was too big. and if government would get out of the way, we would achieve what we had always achieved. that was a powerful narrative then, and it is a and empowering now. that's one thing he did. the second thing that reagan that i've written about both these things and academic journals is reagan didn't talk like other concern. motives tend to be dower and tone. when they talk about government, they talk. first principles. sometimes you'll hear phrase starving the beast. the beast government. we have to cut back. it's a principle we can't spend money. that's not how reagan talked. reagan defense ended small government priorities, less government less regulation. not no government. not no regulation. but he did it in optimistic tone. he talked about the pragmatic benefits of cutting back on. that's the way liberals talk. they say with this expansion of government, we can do this with this expansion, we can help this group. but reagan does the opposite it. but he doesn't focus not on groups. he foc

and this was where you get this narrative. this bifurcated narrative that had martin luther king and as nonviolence but remember the violence that the state, remember because what they were doing was disrupting a power structure. that was seen as violent. but it was a way to try and pick these two against each other. king was doing it the right way and the panthers were doing it the wrong way . but when you think about the violence that the civil rights movement faced here in the south, it was seen as doing it the wrong way because they weren't being violent and accepting jim crow. >> i've had a few conversations with the film judas and the black messiah came out about fred hampton and some of the things around there and it's been so interesting that so many young people don't have any real awareness of the black panther party. and how much of that conversation, how unique it was in that moment to have something like that happen. i think it's what dated in people's minds that that potency of that moment for them to essentially

one of the most key e-e moments of disagreement and discussion, the russian narrative turned out to be extremely more flexible . that is, there you could associate yourself with victory, say, in the second world war or participation in the great patriotic war, without necessarily associating yourself with communism or not necessarily associating yourself with stalin, while uh, the divisions in the uh-uh ukrainian discourse , which were supported by russia, came down to actually uh-uh absolute radicalization of views, i.e. if you are a ukrainian, if you somehow look at the second world war with ukrainian eyes, you must be from bandera, i.e. connection with the same upa, connection with the same liberation war without connection with the radical nationalism of the period was virtually impossible, that is, in this war of narratives in 2014, we found ourselves in a very, very weak position, and this weak position was actually leveled at during the last eight years, ukrainian society met this weight with a much more ready awareness of itself and its history than it was in the 14th year,

of the second world war, but a single narrative at a time when the second world war in ukraine becamef the most key moments of disagreement and discussion, the russian narrative turned out to be extremely flexible that is, there it was possible to associate oneself with victory in, say, the second world war or participation in the great patriotic war, without necessarily associating oneself with communism or not necessarily associating oneself with stalin, while the er-e divisions in the ukrainian er-e discourse which were supported by russia, reduced to actually absolute radicalization of views, that is, if you are ukrainian, if you somehow look at the second world war with ukrainian eyes, you must be from bandera, that is, a connection with the same upa, a connection with the same liberation war without a connection with radical nationalism of the war period was actually impossible, that is, in this war of narratives in 2014, we found ourselves in a very, very weak position, and this weak position was actually leveled during the last eight years, and ukrainian society met this weigh

and this is where you get this in narrative that has trayvon martin luther king as nonviolent. but remember the violence he faced. because what they were doing was disrupting a power structure. in that was seen. it was way to try to put these two against each other. king was doing at the right way. the panthers were doing it the wrong way. but whent he think about the violence the civil rights movements faced here in the south, this is seen as doing at the wrong way because they were not being silent and accepting jim crow. >> i have had a few conversations the black messiah came out about fred hampton some of the things around there. it's so interesting to me that so many young people don't have any real awareness of the black panther party. especially its heyday and how much it wasnv in the conversatin nationally for it how important it was but how unique it was just something like that happen. i think it is somewhat faded in people's mind that kind of potency of that moment for them. it's interesting to pop cultural things bring that to the forefront a little bit more. why d

thus, in that time, what was happening in ukraine was actually a competition of several narratives, fromeral-national to soviet post-soviet to radical nationalist, and this process was that it was quite natural, it was a gradual part with the change of generations, but what did this mean that when the time of tests came, 2014 in particular turned out to be that russia has a very strong aggressive imperial narrative, supported by the state, to which ukraine is actually not ready , was not ready to respond, that is, look at the st. george tape, for example and the second world war, that is, russia actually came with a very developed, very flexible narrative of the second world war, but the only popular one at a time when the second world war in ukraine became one of the most key moments of disagreement and discussion, the russian narrative turned out to be extremely more flexible. that is, there it was possible to associate oneself with victory, say, in the second world war or participation in the great patriotic war without necessarily associating oneself with communism or not necessarily

and tell me sir sergius said that over the course of 100 years, russia created a historical narrativeaine , including a historical negative for ukraine itself, and there may be a situation when in the future ukraine will create a certain historical narrative for russia itself, at least in terms of the perception of ukraine. poland, by and large , can create a historical narrative in poland, which is listened to by the russians , finland can create a historical national finland, which is listened to by the russians 50-60 years ago, this practically did not exist. maybe it is being created, that is, one by one requirements that are put forward to any historical national narrative is not only its acceptance and perception or imposition with the help of propaganda within the country, but it is also its recognition by its neighbors , that is, or by the world community and in order for russian or any ukrainian or any other born met these requirements and you he was recognized by the neighbors he must be in dialogue in contact with these neighbors and with those narratives that are created t

even 50-60 years ago , all this practically did not exist. which historical national narrative is not only its acceptance and perception or imposition with the help of propaganda inside the country, but it is also its recognition by its neighbors, that is, or by the world community and for that in order for a russian or any ukrainian or any other nation to meet these requirements and be recognized by its neighbors, it must be in vkontakte dialogues with these neighbors and with those narratives that are created there, that is, can poland write a narrative for russia and in fact it will become russian no, but can the russian merits function normally for a longer period of time without taking into account how russia is viewed by ukraine, pushcha, and so on, and so on , and not enter into a war in a conflict with these neighbors, no, that is, he has to, he has to take it and should listen to this and another historical historical well, let's say a precedent er problem and issues can also be a tragedy of ukraine in the fact that this narrative of the great russian nation was created by uk

so we have to narratives now that are colliding. that is the democratic narrative that we should respect all the institutions. the congress is a sacred institution for example, and then the count them out there, which is trump ism in various manifestations. so these guys still still the same, not at the forward a large number of americans, the right wing of still believe the from i may come back in 2024. so there is a golden myth growing in their heads that they can take revenge. and they can this stabilize the nation and then paved the way for the return of their political to savior. so it's still a very powerful narrative and i think january may become if we come and consider what happened in. but as it generally becomes the monk of the chosen glory for this re a twin movement. so it says global, and i think it's going to spread. told examples. indices we've seen that the far right is gaining momentum in europe. do you think that there would be terminated to somehow pick the same playbook like in the u. s. and brazil to advance th

slave narratives are an amazing resource. i think at this point there's 50 volumes their vice cat organized by state, but that's a little bit misleading because they're like the texas narratives are people who were interviewed in texas. not necessarily who had been enslaved in texas, right? so these narratives develop because during the great depression. you know when they're putting people to work, they're also putting people writers to work to collect these narratives and the work really starts with black academics who send their students out from historically black colleges to go out and interview formerly enslaved people because they realize that it's you know getting they're getting older it's you know, 60 years after emancipation and that this is a valuable resource that's fading away. and so these black academics do some of this early interviewing of people and then the works progress administration kind of takes up the mantle of that and puts writers to work and has them have them go out and interview. formerly enslav

we have two narratives that have collided.o respect the institutions that congress is a sacred institution and a counter narrative, which is trumpism in various manifestations, so these guys, a large number of americans, white -- right-wingers believe trump may come back in 2024. it is a golden myth growing in their heads they can take revenge and to stabilize the nation and then pave the way for the return of their political savior. it is still a very powerful narrative and i think january may become, if we consider what happened in brazil, january becomes the month of the glory for this right wing movement. i think it is going to spread. hashem: the far right is gaining momentum in europe. do you think they would be tempted to pick the same playbook to advance their own political agenda or to force political change? guest: i think the extreme right, the far right and fascist right are insignificantly powerful positions within the european union and their countries. even if they are not necessarily in power. we saw through th

sergey russia for 100 years said created a historical narrative for ukraine, including a historical narrative itself, and there may be a situation when in the future ukraine will create certain historical narratives for russia itself, at least with regard to the perception of ukraine, poland by and large can create provide a historical one in poland that is listened to by the russians. finland can create a historical national one in finland that is listened to by the russians. 50-60 years ago , this practically did not exist . only its acceptance and acceptance or imposition with the help of propaganda inside the country, but this is also its recognition by its neighbors, that is, or by the world community and in order for russian or any ukrainian or someone else gave birth that met these requirements and you, he was recognized by the neighbors. he should be in vkontakte dialogues with these neighbors and with those narratives that are created there, that is, can poland write a narrative for russia and in fact it will become russian, no, but can it normally for a longer period of time to func

one, no, but can russian narratives function normally for a longer period of time without taking intoount how ukraine-poland views russia, and so on, and so on , and not enter into a war in a conflict with these neighbors, no, that is he must he must take it and he must listen to it and one more historical historical well, let's say a precedent er problem and issues can also be a tragedy of ukraine in that this narrative of the great russian nation was created by ukrainians for russians , they created it in kyiv kievo-grave- i apologize in the kiev-pechersk lavra, it was called a synopsis because it was published in 1674 under the guidance of the archimandrite of the lavra, innokenty gieser , and it was transmitted a large number of times. it became the first printed textbook of russian history of the entire russian empire of the 18th century. its reader, supporter, and popularizer was mykhailo mykhailo lomonosov , and this adviser put kyiv, the center of russian history, is partially experienced by us, that is, we pay according to the bills of the 17th century. we have to once again

thus, at that time, what happened in ukraine actually happened the competition of several narratives, from liberal-national to soviet post-soviet to radical nationalist, and this process was quite natural, it took place gradually with the change of generations, but what does this mean that when the time of testing came in 2014, in particular, it turned out that russia has a very strong aggressive imperial narrative, supported by the state, to which ukraine was actually not ready , was not ready to respond, that is, to look, for example, at the st. george's ribbon and the second world war, that is, russia actually came with a very developed, very flexible narrative of the second world war but the only national one at a time when the second world war in ukraine became one of the most key moments of disagreement and discussion russian meetings turned out to be extremely more flexible. that is, there you could associate yourself with victory in, say, the second world war or participation in the great patriotic war, without necessarily associating yourself with communism or not necessarily

increasingly depart from the west or narrative just increasingly detached from reality. and they will find other alternative narratives rooted in fact, research and evidence they will find that more appealing. and so because they're unable to debate, they're unable to defend their irrational positions. it's much easier for them to just walk out these alternative voices and they're doing it under all of these pre tax national security. and these are all things that they've gone after other nations for claiming that they're, they're autocratic or despotic. and now the west is becoming worst of all right. and on that, no, why do you think the supposedly democratic west has been turning a blind di, specifically to mirage because them claims that he's been subjected to harassment and persecution by a number of baltic states. this is actually a common practice by the united states and the european union. they use human rights, freedom of expression, freedom of the press as a smokescreen behind which they advanced or agenda though, use it to target another nation. but then when

we are a narrative change organization that's on mission in life. we know the only way to change narrative is to change the underlying story. so essentially work with storytellers. we give out about a $1000000.00 a year in grants, to storytellers, to journalists, and to story tellers in the arts and culture space. that sounds about good news because a lot of things that happen that are not good. it's about balanced representation. today, there are more and more stories about africa being told by africans, content streaming platforms like netflix of a selection, films, and documentaries, but the reporting of poverty conflict, disease and disaster is so prevalent in news coverage, even when it's africans reporting on africa. one of the reasons is because of limited resources about a 3rd of african stories reported in. i'll click on the continent is sourced from foreign news services. and more often than not, this content continues to feed old stereotypes. this year, african mistletoe will be releasing and index ranking the top 20 global media outlets

they have a certain narrative and they want that narrative. it want all parties to adhere to that narrative and they will punish and disappear people that doubt the so called democratic values. these people are least democrats, people you can imagine this is, this is paula terry and regime. we're dealing with here before we go, a quick recap of the breaking news from nepal. we're 72 people have reportedly died in a plane crash at the country's international airport. this unverified footage allegedly shows a moments before and the aftermath of the plane crash near the city of posada in central nepal. report say the plane crash as it is tempted to land. there were $68.00 passengers and 4 crew members on board among them 15 foreigners, including 4 russian citizens. rescuers continue to work at the scene where at least 40 bodies have been found. no pulse prime minister convenes an emergency government meeting. we will keep you updated with more details as they come in. and that's her up on the hour, and we top stories from all around for more up t

to bring balance to the narrative about africa. when maki mccord has started for media korea in the 1980s, stories about africa consistently portrayed the continent in the way she felt was lacking in balance, to sense of injustice in the story telling the way stories were that depicted us and i used to be in london, i mean i lived in london for a long time and i remember 1985 seminal moment with a lot of people in this generation for we don't remember, but that's live a that's when live it started. it was the feed, the world. it was, you know, then michael jackson song came and it was just all this, you know, feed the starving, pour in africa. and it struck me that i'm african levels, not africa, that i knew from then mock he set out to change the median narrative of africa by showcasing another side of the continent. i mean the soccer in van b, as in fact i'm in dire salaam in tanzania, and i remember putting in mozambique downtown nairobi. in fact, i'm in lagos, but i'm here to meet one of the most passionate polo players. i did

war, nato is the largest, but a significant part of citizens, in particular in germany, russian narratives supported by almost 20% of the population, and in words or no. up to 30% of those surveyed, so on the battlefield, the russians may lose, but in terms of disinformation . they are far from defeated security correspondents frank gardner. this is how i analyzed the researchers' conclusions. i, too, are an institute. this is a rather depressing statistic for nato and the european union. the bottom line is that what they call the russian propaganda of disinformation that spreads in telegram and on various online channels works and not the majority, but a significant part of the population even in such countries as germany believe the narratives of the kremlin that the war in ukraine is due to the fault of the west, for example, 19% of respondents in germany believe that the russian campaign was justified because nato provoked the conflict. of the surveyed population are convinced that this is all the fault of the west, similar opinions are expressed by about a quarter of the population in

shaping the narrative, however, does not simply involve good stories.to be done well, it requires a deep connection, a virtual fusion between the storytellers and the subjects of their stories. amy: juan gonzalez reflecting on 40 years for fighting for racial and social justice in journalism. stay tuned for more of his speech. ■■ [music break] amy: this is democracy now! democracynow.org, the war and peace report. we are spending the hour with democracy now! co-host juan gonzalez. we continue with his recent address at the columbia journalism school, reflecting on his 40 years of fighting for racial and social justice and journalism. juan: my first job in journalism was at the philadelphia daily news in 1978. i started as a general assignment reporter. before my rookie year was up, the iran hostage crisis had erupted. and i'll never forget being in the newsroom one day and going to the bulletin board, where employees posted all kinds of information on things for sale and other things of interest, and there was a petition on the bulletin board by many of

but the whole narrative of this anti- cop narrative is how we got here.e've been trashing cops since 2020 unit drove most qualified candidates away from the gig that's the bigger issue here is we demonized the noble profession. when i was in first grade and you were in first grade, if you ask kids what they wanted to be half of the boys would've said cops and the other half ironman. and now halfwits they girl and the other half would say drag queen. there's nothing wrong with that. that's my other newsletter. we drove the good people away from the job and that is really the bigger problem is when you lower recruitment standards, yo get less qualified people. certain things you just don't want to cheat. we all like that at for $50 eye surgery until the cross eyed dr. walks into the room. that's where we are here page you have to support the cops. i would have been a cop if it weren't for this thing called a background check. we are fighting the wrong battle . >> greg: welcome my kat, you are very pro- police. many have come to know you over the years. >> i

i say that we just need to reframe o'connor narrative around history. the current perspective that we study, su 4, is kind of through the lens of the power. when we actually look is to that the moment where regular people have banded together and can achieve a low ah, doesn't cuts him starved many council estates of funding since 2010 up to 1000 youth centers have been shut down for many young people. life is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous. temporarily helps those who have been impacted by violence. this is the gram parker fate needs grew up here, right? this is where i grew up. could you just tell me a little bit about what was growing up hair that 1st made you want to do work in your community? paul, there is the issues that we experienced here from such a young age. living in poverty, see injustice experience and injustice. i'm been exposed to such extreme violence and when i was only 15 my next door neighbor, my childhood friend, marvin. he was on killed a month before his 18th birthday. i'm so yeah, that was definitely a catalyst for

this is what they do, they have a certain narrative and they want that narrative, want all parties to adhere to that narrative and they will punish and disappear. people that don't the so called democratic values. these people are least democratic people. you can imagine this is, this is a total, a terry and regime we're dealing with here. and that's a rob on the hour and we top stories for more up to the minute update, head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble, and god, thanks for tuning in. we'll see you back next hour. the ah the news ah with mm welcome.

their rhythmic geometry, humor and suspenseful narrative ambiguity. making these prints was an even more collaborative process than lithography, as they required not only skilled draftsman such as homer working both on paper and on tightly grained woodblock books. but a second man, a wooden graver who complete the process by into the block where homer had drawn. so each of these is a work of collaboration, including in this case, a work that depicts not any boston storefront but the store of charles f hubie on washington street. hubie being not just a gifted retailer, but also a dedicated abolitionist. the process that the od engrav. entered in to converse aided the arti's two dimensional design to a delicate relief line. was everything. the wood engravers work s exact. and earned for him about the same amount draftsman earned at 23. homer to new york, where several boston's other draftsmen had also moved along with their wood engraver colleagues, and where, excepting field trips in the and to long trips to europe homer would live for the following. 2
