In this week’s segment, we discuss the 80th anniversary of victory in Europe in World War II, and the disinformation that centers on the U.S.'s role and dismisses the pivotal Soviet role in that conflict. Also, we learn about the Nakba, the catastrophe, that began the displacement of Palestinians by the new state of Israel in 1947. But first, we hear from the author of a new book which challenges narratives about the African continent and its diaspora and explains that Africa is a phoenix rising from the ashes of the burnt-out colonial world.
