Angela Davis: Freedom, Politics & Prisons
This week we took a break from fiction and read the work of writer, activist and academic Angela Davis. The thing that concerned us the most was just how relevant her work is today. Join us as we discuss 'Freedom Is A Constant Struggle', 'Are Prisons Obsolete?' and 'Women, Race and Class' and how they've informed the ways we want to engage with politics and contribute to change.Follow us on instagram: thestackedpodSign up for our newsletter: Stacked WeeklyProduced by AiAi Studios:www.aiaistudios.comhttps://www.instagram.com/aiai.studios/ Hosted on Acast.

Buchi Emecheta: Proverbs, Tragedy & Female Independence
This week we're discussing Buchi Emecheta who was a social worker and writer (often considered the first successful black woman novelist living in Britain after 1948). We've actually discussed her on the pod before and talked a lot about motherhood, but this episode was a great opportunity to talk about the other themes and contexts that come up in Emecheta's work like the immigrant experience in Britain during the 60s. Join us as we discuss 'In The Ditch' and 'The Bride Price'!Follow us on instagram: thestackedpodSign up for our newsletter: Stacked WeeklyProduced by AiAi Studios:www.aiaistudios.comhttps://www.instagram.com/aiai.studios/ Hosted on Acast.
