Published: March 27, 2019, 5:38 p.m.

"Writing is a type of sorcery." So says author, poet, and educator Lesley-Ann Brown on this week's CounterPunch Radio. Listen to hear Lesley-Ann discuss her book "Decolonial Daughter: Letters from a Black Woman to Her European Son" and some of the important political, cultural, and spiritual themes that weave the text together. Eric and Lesley-Ann explore memory, the role of mothers and women in indigenous cultures, how capitalism robs people of their histories, what colonization looked like from the beaches rather than the ships, the stories written upon our skin, and so much more.
