This reminds of the “Shock Doctrine” and there by Niomi Klein, basically she speaks that in times of crisis […]

A combination of spoken word, art music, etc. The open forum of blogging it a perfect place for the […]

The early adapter concept is something I have really never thought about but this makes perfect sense. As popular culture is youth bases and technology driven, I can see why the youth base […]

What I also think the internet and social media offers to people trying to get involved in changing the world is a sort of instant gratification. For some just simple clicking “like” or […]

But I like how you have reconstructed it to mean a virtual space. This is the point of the class, no..;-) Also, when ?I say Caribbean diasporic space the […]

The colorful Jamaica that we no today is not the one the curator is reporting on, his Jamaica one of slavery, revolt and suppression.

It would be nice though to listen along with the narrative.
