We will be discussing:

1. We will discuss the first half of the book. Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin,

   Go Tell It on the Mountain is an emotional story that contains time gaps throughout seventy years. The novel allows its reader to peek into the minds of multiple characters; however, the story takes place during one twenty-four hour period. The book explores several controversial topics in the history of the United States, including racism in New York's Harlem and the South, poverty, and the anger that racism stimulated.

   There is also the free audiobook version of the book on youtube here

2. If Beale Street Could Talk Film, available on iplayer.
   Tish, a newly engaged Harlem woman, races against the clock to prove her lover's innocence while carrying their first-born child. Based on the novel by James Baldwin.

3. Podcast: Degrowth in Scotland is an interview podcast series brought to you by Enough!’s Scottish Degrowth Network. Hosted by emerging podcaster Nico Ndlovu, the Degrowth in Scotland podcast series invites you to (un)learn more about degrowth and decolonisation, through discussions with people involved in this work across Scotland. Listen to any episode from the series.

4. Short interview with James Baldwin discussing white fragility. Link here.
   

Along with our more general conversations around peoples experience of racism and proposed Anti-Racist material for the group to engage with next time.
