The Nation of Islam: Surveillance, Repression and Resistance
In this segment Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon are joined by Dr. Garrett Felber, an assistant professor of history at the University of Mississippi, to talk about his new book "Those Who Know Don't Say: The Nation of Islam, the Black Freedom Movement, and the Carceral State," popular misconceptions surrounding the Black Power movement and the history of Black nationalism, the forgotten legacy of Black nationalism in anti-war activism, and why the 'double burden' of state violence and Islamophobia which coalesced around incarcerated members of the Nation of Islam is alive and well in the United States today.
