Notas del episodio
In this episode, Dr. Nikka Lemons examines genocide by attrition, the slow, structural annihilation of African Descendants of American Slaves (ADAS), through the United Nations Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes. Drawing from her groundbreaking dissertation, she reveals how state power, urban planning, and racial capitalism converge to produce conditions of containment, dispossession, and erasure.
From the colonial legacies embedded in planning to the complicity of reformist “solutions,” Dr. Lemons calls for a radical shift rooted in restitution and accountability, inviting us to confront the ethical stakes of our work.
This is a conversation about care, memory, and resistance, anchored in truth, and refusing the comfort of abstraction.
