REGGAETON’S ROOTS in PANAMA. In this 2 minute video by Nicole Phillip (from eps 329 and 330), she links up with Javier Wallace (from eps 303, 304, and 305) in Panama to trace the origins of reggaeton music back decades to Central America and the West Indian migrants who went to Panamá to help build the canal.  They heavily influenced the culture and a few decades later their Spanish speaking descendants created “reggae en Español.” Later on Puerto Rico would add their own flavor with the help of hip hop and now the island tends to get most of the recognition for reggaeton today, while it’s roots and modern Panamanian artists are largely left in obscurity.

AFTER SAVAGERY: Gaza, Genocide and the Illusion of Western Civilization reveals the ethical bankruptcy of “Western philosophy” and how it undergirds the erasure of the colonized.  Written during the genocide, Hamid Dabashi insists with lyrical and lucid fury that if Israel is the West and the West is Israel, then Palestine is the world and the world is Palestine. Holding to glimmers from revolutionary works of literature and film, Dabashi argues, in grief and love, that the wretched of the earth need poetry after barbarism—and that Palestine is the site of a liberated imagination.

In Part 2 of this interview, Janessa Klatt talks about working remotely while traveling around Africa for 7 consecutive months.  She explains why Nairobi won her heart, why her first safari in Tanzania was magical, why Cape Town is one of her favorite cities, why the landscape in Namibia is uniquely spectacular but also how she learned about the genocide the German government committed there in 1907.  She reflects on how travel has impacted her worldview and then talks about co-hosting the “Remote Roundup” segment on the Zero to Travel podcast.
