GND Classic: Climate Reparations with Dr Keston Perry

This episode was first broadcast on June 14th 2021<br/><br/>This week on the show we are joined by Dr Keston Perry. Keston is a lecturer in economics and political economy at University of West of England (UWE).<br/><br/>We discuss in practical terms what reparations would mean, the historical racism embedded into Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and how a Green New Deal must be designed in that context, as well as the reverberations of the Haitian Revolution and how taking a paternalistic approach to defeating climate change won't bring justice to those most effected by it.<br/><br/><br/>Links<br/>Sorting out the Mixed Economy by Amy Offner<br/>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ehr.12988<br/><br/>How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney<br/>https://www.versobooks.com/books/2785-how-europe-underdeveloped-africa<br/><br/>William Sandy Darity on reparations <br/>https://reparations4slavery.com/william-sandy-darity-jr/<br/><br/><br/>Shout outs <br/>Professor Maxine Burkett <br/><br/>Asad Rehman<br/>@chilledasad100<br/><br/>Alex O'keefe- Ex Sunrise Movement leader for holding the movement to a higher standard<br/>@_dotgov<br/><br/>Alex's Thread on the situation at Sunrise<br/>https://twitter.com/_dotgov/status/1402249288818769920<br/><br/>Cycling UK- for their campaign Big bike revival <br/>@WeAreCyclingUK<br/><br/>The fantastic organisations supporting refugees across the UK to mark Refugee Week 2021<br/>@RefugeeAction<br/>@GMIAU<br/>@AmnestyUK<br/>@FreefromTorture<br/>@AsylumMatters<br/>@FootballMuseum<br/><br/>Support the show
