We will be reading two short essays by Mao Zedong, “Combat Liberalism" (1937) and "Oppose Book Worship" (1930), to see what he maps out as being the necessary attitude of members of revolutionary organizations toward political work.

Deux poids, deux mesures 🇭🇹
A l'occasion de la Coupe du Monde la plus politisée de l'histoire où un arbitre somalien et un photographe irakien ont été refoulés par l'un des pays organisateurs pour des raisons politiques (en contradiction totale avec les contrats signés), la FIFA a imposé à Saeta, l'équipementier de la sélection haïtienne, de modifier le maillot confectionné à cause de son caractère politique
En cause une représentation de la bataille de Vertières (novembre 1803) qui a marqué l'aboutissement de la révolution haïtienne et la proclamation de l'indépendance quelques semaines plus tard (1 janvier 1804) de la première république noire au monde
Symbole de fierté nationale, cette bataille a été choisie par Saeta comme un hommage à ces hommes et femmes ayant permis l'émancipation d'un pays brandissant son drapeau vers le ciel
Impensable pour la FIFA qui voit ici un "message politique" et a donc exigé des modifications pour se plier aux règles de la compétition. C'est bien connu : les règlements existent, mais ils sont uniquement applicables à certaines nations.
Keep the faith

Hugh Shearer banned Walter Rodney from re-entering Jamaica then Forbes Burnham assassinated Walter Rodney in Guyana.
Hugh Shearer suppressed material in Jamaica that he feared would inspire Black pride, and Eric Williams repressed the Black Power movement in T&T.

#Jamaica's Hugh Lawson Shearer, born 103 years ago today, was featured with Eric Williams, Forbes Burnham, and Errol Barrow in Ebony magazine’s “Black Leaders of the #WestIndies” in its October 1967 issue. Newly independent, and filled with potential, promise, and hope. #Caribbean

neocolonial power structures in many of the Caribbean states are fascist ones, of the kind Bishop warned about.
By studying the barriers facing Caribbean people struggling for collective liberation and freedom, we can more accurately assess what movements, organizations,

and parties are up against in the region: complicit neocolonial governments and neoliberal parties, multinational corporations, and policing and military structures protecting the oppressive arrangement.

We will be reading selected readings on how Jamaica has delegitimized land claims since post-emancipation into the present — and how this directly impacts people’s efforts in Jamaica.
