Introducing #MAPArecommends. this is a series of weekly (perhaps monthly depending on capacity) recommendations on documentaries, podcast, books, videos you name it.
If you have a recommendation be sure to share it with me and I’ll send on the channel.
For the first series of “MAPA recommends”
I’m sharing with you a ted talk, an episode from an amnesty international podcast and a short documentary.
The documentary, Bliss of ignorance is about the impacts of a coal power plant on a South African community in Mphumalanga. It explains the trouble the community is facing from a respiratory health crisis to the struggle of fighting back with no yield.
: https://youtu.be/J5eZ2j4g0AY
The podcast; https://open.spotify.com/episode/6VBtqJebjibsKKiJsCKGrF?si=MYPG_nj3SgaVYGbBKrKBnQ&dl_branch=1
The podcast is from an amnesty investigator who received a call from Villagers from a village called Bodo in Nigeria that a shell facility had leaked oil (massively) he explains their fight for justice
And finally my last recommendation (the Ted talk) is by a famous African writer - you might have read her work - called Chimanda Ngozi Adichie. She talks about the danger of a single story. What damage can one angle/perspective have? She will also debunk the African myth of poverty:

That’s it for today on #MAPArecommends

Good morning ✨ here's a nice introduction to the very complex concept of LandBack and settler-colonialism and how it's not just about ownership of land but deeply connected to the decolonization of our mind, of our relationships with each other and with nature, of our structures and systems. It also touches on how people from colonizer states need to participate and actively decolonize! It's time to unite and fight for the liberation of all and it starts with decolonizing our minds!
From the description: "LandBack isn't about deporting white people. It's a path to a better future."

For today’s “/ #MAPArecommends “ I’m switching things up a little bit.
Today I’ll be sharing an interview featuring Nelson Mandela, a Human rights watch video on Israel and apartheid, an FAQ on the question of Palestine from slow factory
The interview with Nelson Mandela (Madiba) features some interesting talking points and his views on various issues like Capitalism, why he supported Yasser Arafat of Palestine , Gaddafi and Fidel Castro of Cuba( key American enemies) among other key questions
: https://youtu.be/DtDsmC2tIOQ
Reflect on Mandela’s words and line of thought and debunk it with an open mind.
The FAQ debunks key questions like;
- But Hamas?
- is the Palestinian liberation movement anti-Semitic
- the right of israel to exist as a state
Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3p4IKFeXj/?utm_medium=copy_link
And finally the human rights watch video on Israel being an apartheid state.

Here's a powerful 25 minute video about greenwashing and fast fashion!
Our favorite part: when she says that we have to move away from away from the polar bear and recognize the reality of the crisis which is a humanitarian crisis 😉
Summary:It’s basically about how the global north keeps on expanding in the global south without regard for the people on the ground irregardless of what industry under the pretext of development but when looking at the people producing the textiles well starting from how they are grown like in the Punjab region to production like in Bangladesh and sales in the EU, there is a huge gab, no equality but more destruction of ecosystems and because people loose their lands they are forced to work for these companies. But we make it look like development when in actual fact it’s really about exploitation going on
recommendation from our favorite resident fashion designer and artist, Mama Ina from Namibia 💕

Hello there.
Today we recommend that you read oil politics by community leader and activist Nnimmo Bassey from Nigeria.
The book is compilation of essays, papers and his works on the situation of shell in Nigeria which is a sysmptom of a whole greater issue of the fossil fuel industry and its sphere of influence.
It paints a damming picture of shell UK and It’s subsidiary Shell Nigeria, how fucking useless the is etc

Debt_-_David_Graeber.pdf

Latest #MAPARecommends from one of our activists!
There is no climate justice without debt justice! Most climate finance / "aid" comes in loans and so MAPA countries often end up in debt and having to pay so much interest to Global North countries when trying to recover from the loss and damages and trying to adapt to the climate crisis the Global North countries caused!
Debt by David Graeber:
Written by an activist from Occupy Wall Street, and academician left disenfranchised by Yale University after this work — Graeber brilliantly traces the history of debt and the gift economy, down to the dark roots of money in war and sex. “Debt: the first 5,000 years” is a classical work of economic anthropology.

Decolonizing Conservation with Mordecai and Fiore - Survival International
Having lived on their lands sustainably since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples understand and take care of their environment better than anyone - it’s no coincidence that 80% of the world’s biodiversity resides in their lands.
So why do conservation…
