S6, Ep 058 with Edna Bonhomme, historian, global public intellectual and author of A History of the World in Six Plagues

It’s June and Caribbean American Heritage month!  In this Season 6 finale, Dr. Yndia is in conversation with historian of science, writer, and global public intellectual, Dr. Edna Bonhomme about her new book A History of the World in Six Plagues.  Bonhomme, herself of Haitian descent, discusses how plagues—both microbial and structural—have shaped the contours of our world, disproportionately impacting African and African descendant communities across the globe.  Listen in as they discuss the histories of epidemic and exploitation, from colonial-era plantations to modern-day medical apartheid, and how health justice is deeply entwined with global Black liberation movements. Production credit: @Masauko. Episode sponsored by @Give Black Alliance and @Get Konnected!  Available on all podcast platforms.
