In this episode, Dr. Horne discusses his book, THE WHITE PACIFIC: U.S. IMPERIALISM & BLACK SLAVERY IN THE SOUTH SEAS AFTER THE CIVIL WAR (U of Hawaii P, 2007). Dr. Horne contextualizes his research on the Pacific region and the South Seas, discusses the often unacknowledged link between the Whaling Industry and Black Slavery or so-called "black birding" in the region, and goes o to discuss other topics including the role of the Hawaiian Kingdom and Japan, the U.S. overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in the coup of 1893. As usual, Dr. Horne also comments on literature and film, contemporary politics and more. Finally, Dr. Horne discusses his latest research on the Pacific for an upcoming book on the COUNTER-REVOLUTION OF 1893. Dr. Horne closes our discussion with a detailed review of some of the major work on the Pacific that he's read.

AT THE VERY END of this episode you'll see a preview of Episode 14: Gerald Horne on Moscow, Haiti, Floyd Mayweather in Israel and Mike Tyson's return to the ring against YouTuber and Disney star Jake Paul (forthcoming on this channel very soon!)
