In this episode, I begin my presentation of Kelly Oliver's "Witnessing: Beyond Recognition." In this book she tries to conceptualize an anti-oppressive political strategy that is not predicated upon difference, but that is focused on the similarities that bind people. I'm joined by Helene Bigras-Dutrisac to impart her expertise of chapter 4!
