## Resource

As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, we ask a simple question: what does America mean to those living through its violence today? From expanding state repression and political prisoners to the mythology of the Fourth of July, we reflect on what it means to reject nationalism while committing ourselves to solidarity, community, and revolutionary struggle. Along the way, we discuss the Prairie Land defendants, Baldwin's complicated relationship to America, the future of resistance, and what it takes to build movements that can survive the years ahead. -------------------------------------------- EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 09:53 Why do we care 17:01 What are ways to engage with the propaganda of July 4th 36:46 Reading and discussion of Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin 42:53 Reading Gord Hill 49:40 Reflection ---------------------------------------------- Mentioned Media: BOOKS 📚 The Counter Revolution of 1836 Texas slavery & Jim Crow and the roots of American Fascism by Gerald Horne 🔗 ⁠ In The Belly Magazine: https://inthebelly.squarespace.com/ Support independent bookstores by purchasing with our affiliate link on through Bookshop.org : https://bookshop.org/lists/what-we-re-reading-at-the-dugout OTHER MEDIA 🔗 Defending Dissent In Texas: An Interview with DFW Prairieland Defense Committee —--------------------------------------------- Stay connected with The Dugout !
