Thanks to C.S. Soong at @radioagainst for a great chat about my book! We discussed the militarized management of racial outsiders in Arkansas and how "white towns" under settler colonialism are not natural but rather forged through violence. Listen to the podcast below @GOJST_UGA

It will take time to feel the full impact of all that my Administration has done. But the seeds we planted will grow and bloom for decades to come.

Thanks, @ackocher, for the shout-out to New Destinations of Empire! Austin Kocher's work is indispensable for anyone trying to make sense of the contemporary U.S. (and beyond) immigration system, particularly immigration enforcement, detention, and border policing.

Fanon, Wretched of the Earth (1961), could have been speaking to the 'educated class' in the West these days: 'It so happens that the unpreparedness of the educated classes, the lack of practical links between them and the mass of the people, their laziness, and, let it be said, their cowardice at the decisive moment of the struggle will give rise to tragic mishaps'.
