Randolph Hohle is the guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is a professor of sociology at SUNY Fredonia and the author of several books including Race and the Origins of American Neoliberalism as well as Black citizenship and authenticity in the Civil Rights Movement.
During this episode of The
Chauncey DeVega Show, Randolph and Chauncey discuss how the
color line and white supremacy intersect with neoliberalism, the
ways that the language of "free markets" and "opportunity" do the
work of colorblind racism, white elites in the aftermath of Jim and
Jane Crow, and how markets help to perpetuate racial inequality.
Randolph and Chauncey also share some stories about growing up as
members of the working class, life paths, social capital, and
neoliberalism's assault on higher education and
learning.
In this week's episode, Chauncey DeVega ponders if Americans are addicted to chaos in the Age of Donald Trump, discusses some new polling data which shows that Republicans would support the child king tyrant Donald Trump even if he shot someone dead in the street, and does a little reading from a great essay on rural white Americas's ignorance, racism, and religious fundamentalism.
Chauncey also shares some fun hate mails in this week's episode as well.
There is also a bonus segment at the end of this week's show where Chauncey drives to the casino with Mama DeVega during his recent trip home.
Thank you for your broadcast! The podcast was great and the finale was solid, man. Lemmings lemmings!
