  • Palestine 1492 A Report Back

    Palestine 1492 A Report Back
    Jun 22 2026
    My guest today is Linda Quiquivix (ki-ki-vish) a California-based geographer of Maya roots and author and illustrator of Palestine 1492: A Report Back, a political memoir and geography lesson, that places 500 years of struggles side by side with Palestine, from below and toward the common. As Quiquivix write, the book is “a report back of what I see from 500 years of struggle in words, maps, and images in the 7 cardinal directions and in the spiral that is time. Throughout, I share conclusions of what Palestinians, Zapatistas, Panthers, and Jaguars have taught me along this journey….” I devoured the book in a few sittings. As you listen to QuiQui talk about her book and more, you will get why. This program was first broadcast on Women’s Magazine 25 November 2025 The post Palestine 1492 A Report Back appeared first on KPFA.

    Jovelyn delves into Conversation with Professor Elizabeth Pryor’s Book: Something We Said.
    Jun 15 2026
    When a white student quoted a line from Blazing Saddles, blurting out the N-word in the middle of class, Professor Elizabeth Pryor froze. In that moment, she was shockingly confronted with not only the most notorious slur in the United States, but the line quoted by the student was one her father – the iconic comedian Richard Pryor – had written. After the incident, Elizabeth dove into research to better understand the history of the word, and discussed it with her students and in her Ted Talk, “Why it’s so hard to talk about the N-word”, which has been viewed over 2 million times. During her research, Elizabeth’s own memories of the N-word rose to the surface, and she found that a reckoning with this word meant a reckoning with memories of her father, Richard Pryor, who skyrocketed to fame in the 1970’s, making the N-word a hallmark of his act. Elizabeth Pryor now teaches a class titled “Richard Pryor’s America,” and her videos about the class have become hugely popular on her Instagram, @pryorhistories The post Jovelyn delves into Conversation with Professor Elizabeth Pryor’s Book: Something We Said. appeared first on KPFA.
