In this week’s edition of Coffee with Comrades, Pearson sits down for a conversation on black existentialism with James and Vanessa. But first, some current events:
- ICE is getting advice from South FL’s private-prison giant, GEO Group.
- The Yellow Vest Movement continues to rage in France.
- On Friday, a Charlottesville jury found the Nazi murderer of Heather Heyer guilty of all charges.
- Jair Bolsonaro has appointed an incredibly corrupt cabinet.
This episode, we discuss being, essence, double-consciousness, decolonization, identity politics, and transcendence as we dig into work of Frantz Fanon and Lewis Gordon in a conversation with James and Vanessa on black existentialism.
