Pasifika Black: Oceania, Anti-colonialism, and the African World (Black Power) with Quito Swan

KPFA - Hard Knock Radio

In a recent enlightening conversation on Hard Knock Radio, host Davey D engaged with Quito Swan, author of the groundbreaking book Pasifika Black: Oceania, Anti-Colonialism, and the African World (Black Power). The discussion revolved around the complex history of Blackness in the Pacific, exploring the profound connections between Black liberation movements globally and the anti-colonial struggles in Oceania. Swan, a professor and expert in African diasporic black internationalism, highlighted the often overlooked role of Black people in the Pacific Islands and how they have engaged with the larger Black power movements throughout history.
