YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCaribbean scholar Sylvia Wynter identifies a chilling paradox at the heart of the modern world: the inextricable link between civilizational violence and techno-industrial progress. In White Reconstruction, Dylan Rodríguez applies Wynter’s framework to the 1948 Nakba and the current assault on Gaza, framing these events not as historical accidents, but as the execution of a "Manifest Destiny" that has no end date. Rodríguez joins host of Rattling the Bars Mansa Musa to deconstruct how this logic of progress continues to demand the systematic erasure of Palestinian life.
