18:02Now PlayingAriella Thornhill sits down with Adolph Reed Jr. to discuss his new book The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives. Reed outlines that his goal is not to narrate individual trauma but rather to see how personal experience and memory can spark insight into broader structures of history. Reed criticizes liberal historiography that erases the historical specificity of racial oppression and cautions against tendencies that “fetishize” excesses over basic structures of domination. For Reed, we can’t get a hold on current black politics without knowing what is specific about Jim Crow.
