Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

Ep 29: Disabling migration control. With Rebecca Yeo (English). 1:23:50

9 weeks тому1:23:50

1:23:50

In this episode, we speak to Rebecca Yeo, about her recent book Disabling Migration Control. In it, Rebecca draws on her many years of organizing within the disabled people’s movement and against borders, and more specifically on her engagement with disabled people in the asylum system in the UK, to argue that borders are disabling. People with existing impairments are further disabled by the restrictions of the immigration system. And these also create new impairments, particularly high levels of mental distress. Rebecca draws on those years of organizing and engagement to explore what we can learn from each other across movements, what it takes to truly be in solidarity with one another, and how we might collectively resist, and disable, borders. To capture her politics, and the spirit in which she wrote her book, Rebecca brings a recording of the song El Pueblo, Unido, Jamás Será Vencido to the episode, because indeed, The People, United, Will Never Be Defeated. And she brings the voices of two of her interlocutors, who tell us how navigating the asylum system is a 'constant battle', and how that 'makes you lose your mind.' The work of resisting such a system is collective, and throughout the book, and in the episode, Rebecca mentions the people and collectives she has been working with. One of them is community artist Andrew Bolton, with whom Rebecca collaborated several times to create murals, together with disabled people across different communities. The murals are reproduced in the book, and you can find them, and learn more about them on www.disabilitymurals.org.uk/about.php Currently, amongst many other things, Rebecca is working to foster shared learning, solidarity, and collectively resistance through the Disability and Migration Network (DAMN). This episode was recorded in January 2025, and at the time, Rebecca and others at DAMN and the DPAC Crip Tank were planning a conference called DAMN Borders! The conference is fully booked but you can learn more about the work of DAMN and get information about future events on https://disability-migration.org.uk/network…

Ep 28: Border imperialism in the Balkans. With Manja Petrovska (English). 1:22:49

33 weeks тому1:22:49

1:22:49

Our guest is Manja Petrovska, a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam and the Université libre de Bruxelles. We start our conversation today in the Balkans. Before her PhD, Manja spent five years supporting people travelling through the Balkans to Europe’s more affluent northwest, including at the Macedonian-Greek border and in Bosnia. Witnessing the intense violence that Croatian, Greek, Macedonian, and other police forces inflicted on people on the move, she increasingly started questioning who governs and funds this violence. This led her to focus on the International Organization for Migration, or the IOM. From this five-year engagement, Manja co-authored a report from this five-year engagement, titled Repackaging Imperialism: The EU-IOM Border Regime in the Balkans, published by the Transnational Institute. Although the report’s other authors are not featured in this episode, everything we discuss related to the report is based on their work as well, so special thanks to Nidžara Ahmetašević, Sophie-Anne Bisiaux, and Lorenz Naegeli, as well as Niamh Ni Bhriain, who was the report’s main editor. As the report lays out, while the IOM portrays itself as a neutral broker and knowledge center on migration, it is, in fact, an active implementer of particular states’ border policies, bolstering police, border guards, and private contractors known to commit atrocities. Most IOM funding comes from affluent states that can directly commission projects, which the IOM then implements in regions far from its primary funders. What emerges from the conversation is a European Union border regime that extends its influence into the Balkans through the IOM, funding violence that northwestern European states can then distance themselves from by mobilizing racist depictions of brutality as always something occurring in various elsewheres. From the perspective of people living in the region, this is not a new phenomenon but rather one that echoes the efforts of past empires that sought to shape what we now call the Balkans. Hence the report’s title: Repackaging Imperialism. In addition to affecting the lives of people on the move, this regime is also leading to a remilitarization of borders in a region still recovering from war and genocide. We then move to discussing Manja’s current PhD project. As part of this project, she has recently attended a number of border technology fairs, which are marketplaces where security companies showcase their ideas for border security, with government officials as their clients. Manja takes us into a world where cowboy hats, raffles, and rampant alcohol consumption are used to aid in the selling of heartbeat monitors, document scanners, and weapons—illustrating how absurdly and soul-crushingly removed the worlds of weapons sales are from the people whose lives these weapons affect. Finally, Manja recounts her own encounter with border enforcement. After leaving one of the last security fairs she attended, she was administratively detained and taken to immigration detention in Belgium. There, she met and tried to support many others who were in a much worse situation than she was, mainly people from other Balkan states and Palestinians. We end the conversation by reflecting once again on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the need to resist the brutal slaughter, starvation, displacement, and land theft of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli state. We feel pain at this destruction of life. Weapons companies, Manja explains, profit, not only from causing mass death but also from surveilling, governing, and dividing people when displaced, once again showing us that our struggles are deeply interconnected.…

Ep 27: Hydra rising. With Marcus Rediker & Nandita Sharma (English). 1:27:18

35 weeks тому1:27:18

1:27:18

Today, we have two guests: Marcus Rediker, a distinguished Professor of Atlantic History at the University of Pittsburg, and Nandita Sharma, a professor of Sociology at the University of Hawaii. Marcus Rediker has spent a lifetime studying oceans rather than lands, immersing himself in the worlds of sailors, pirates, and the enslaved. As he explains in the episode, it was the labor of seafaring people that knitted together the continents, enabling the rise of global capitalism. Yet these people—brought together on ships and in ports—not only generated immense profits for the wealthy; they also developed what he calls “projects of their own,” often in opposition to the interests of rulers. This self-activity of ordinary people across the Atlantic lies at the heart of his work. We then turn to The Many-Headed Hydra, a book Marcus co-authored with Peter Linebaugh in 2000. In it, Marcus and Peter use the metaphor of the Hydra and Hercules to connect revolutionary struggles and counter-revolutionary efforts across centuries and continents. In The Many-Headed Hydra, radical religious groups struggling against enclosures in 17th-century England appear alongside, and interlinked with, the uprisings of enslaved people that swept through the Caribbean and the Americas in the 18th and 19th centuries. Time and again, we see that mobility is essential for capital accumulation. But it also emerges as a problem for those in power once people start “projects of their own,” prompting intense repression and efforts to fracture revolutionary coalitions. One of these technologies of division, Marcus explains, is citizenship. Marcus’s work has much to offer those of us who struggle against borders today. As Nandita explains in the second part of the episode, borders and legal status divide us from one another. As vital resources continue to be extracted and privatized, and investments in technologies of war increase, what does it mean to practice a politics radically oriented toward life? How do we strengthen our connections to one another? How do we build the body of the Hydra so that our movements interlink and regenerate? These are some of the questions we discuss. We recorded this discussion in October 2024, as the Israeli state continues to kill and starve people in Gaza on an unimaginable scale, its onslaught now also reaching deeper into the West Bank and Lebanon. We must continue to do whatever we can to stop this mass killing, to resist the ongoing expropriation of people from their lands, and to resist the border regimes that trap those who want to leave. At the end of the conversation, Marcus and Nandita offer hope at a time that does not always seem very hopeful. People all over the world live and love in ways that reach far beyond the orders imposed on us—and they do so under the most difficult and unjust of circumstances. Something in these radical visions of freedom, in these struggles for life, practised in different times and distant places, connects us to one another. This reminds us of something simple, something we already know: that we all breathe in the common wind.…

Ep 26: Abandoned seafarers. With Miriam Matthiessen (English). 1:14:16

37 weeks тому1:14:16

1:14:16

In this episode, we speak to Miriam Matthiessen, who takes us to the world of shipping, through the phenomenon of so-called Abandoned Seafarers. As it happens, because of the way in which the shipping industry is organized, ship owners sometimes have an incentive to abandon their ships, and the crew on it. Formally, a ship and its crew are considered abandoned when the ship owner does not pay wages, or fails to provide adequate supplies for two months, but in practice, abandonments carry on for many months, and even years. Miriam’s own entry point into this is her work for Abandoned Seafarer’s Map, which was created by Eliza Ader, and which Eliza and Miriam now maintain together with Jacob Bolton. This map uses databases by the International Labor Organization, the ILO, and the International Maritime Organization, the IMO, to show where and how often abandonments take place. These databases structure what the map does and does not show, but either way, by logging case after case, you’ll learn what kind of vessels typically get abandoned, and how nationality structures who gets abandoned, and how an abandonment then subsequently unfolds. In this episode, Miriam shares the lessons that she learned, while also bringing abandonments to live, by describing the situations seafarers may find themselves in, and the effects that abandonments may have on their extended families. Throughout the conversation, Miriam references the book Sweatshops at Sea, by Leon Fink, as well as the work of anthropologists Johanna Markkula on the labor of Filipino Seafarers, and that of economist Hercules Haralambides on container shipping, ports, and global logistics. She also references Jacob Bolton’s dissertation, parts of which he has now published in his article Supply Nets: The Logics of Seafarer Abandonment We end the episode with a conversation on the value of staying with an issue for a prolonged period of time, the need to create counter-hegemonic infrastructures that we can actually maintain, and the need to recognize such maintenance work as making possible the work of trying to change everything. We recorded this in April 2024. So, as we speak about the structural violence inflicted upon seafarers, and the total disregard of their lives, we are thinking of mass murdering of Palestinians by the same powers that be. And when we speak about wanting to change everything, this includes ending the illegal occupation, and the incarceration of Palestinians in open air prisons. Enjoy listening…

Ep 25: Palestine. With Ghassan Hage (English). 1:03:41

1 year тому1:03:41

1:03:41

Our guest today is Ghassan Hage, a professor of anthropology at the University of Melbourne in Australia. Today, we talk with Ghassan, not about Europe’s borders, but about Palestine, and the intensification of the destruction of life in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli state and the powers that support it. We recorded our conversation a few weeks ago, in January 2024. As I record this introduction, I am struck by how difficult it is to find words that speak to the moment we are in. We are witnessing military attacks of unimaginable brutality, with countless bodies still to be found under the rubble. Alongside this obliteration of Palestinian life, we see the destruction of the conditions of possibility for life, with the bombing of water wells, tanks, greenhouses, food depots, ports, fishing boats, hospitals, schools, and bakeries. At the same time, as Ghassan points out, this violence is not new, but an intensification of the structural, settler colonial violence inflicted upon the Palestinians for the past 76 years and more. We must pause and reflect on the histories that made it possible for Gaza to become the place it is today, a place where Israel can cut off the supply of water, food and electricity to Gaza, turning hunger and thirst into weapons of war. As Ghassan points out, violence is inherent in the very existence of Gaza. Where does the legitimacy of such violence come from? How do we accept living in a world where it is normalized? Ghassan identifies the root of the problem as the virtual absence of the very thought of negotiating one’s existence with others, creating the fantasy in Israel that supremacy over everyone is possible. This fantasy is fueled by a frightening racism that makes it such that Palestinians can be treated as if their death is meaningless. In the episode, Ghassan describes Israel as an ethno-racial state and as a meta-colony, a colonialism of all colonial powers. This means responsibility lies not only with the Israeli government but also with the meta-colonial powers that make this destruction possible, in the form of massive military aid and diplomatic support. And we must dig deeper, and think about the global infrastructures in place that provide the materials and cover necessary to sustain this onslaught and find ways to challenge it. We close the episode with a reflection on the future. Israel as an ethno-racial state, Ghassan asserts, is going to come to an end. The question is what kind of an end. Tragically, with massacres and counter-massacres? Or through a negotiated mode of existence where everyone can live together? Let us work towards the latter. In the episode, we play a clip of Refaat Alareer, the writer, poet, professor, and activist, who was killed by an Israeli airstrike on the 6th of December 2023, along with several members of his family. Refaat was a professor at the Islamic University of Gaza. He also co-founded the We Are Not Numbers project, which provided writing workshops for young Palestinians. We close the episode with a recital of one of Refaat’s poems, titled, ‘If I must die, let it become a tale’. It became widely shared and recited at protests all over the world after he was killed. The recital we use is read by Peter Griffin and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0zYDME9oaw…

Ep 24: Why no borders. With Bridget Anderson, Cynthia Wright, and Nandita Sharma (English). 1:10:17

2 years тому1:10:17

1:10:17

Our guests in this episode are Bridget Anderson, Cynthia Wright, and Nandita Sharma. We speak to them about their editorial called “Why no Borders”, which they published in 2008. In it, they distill the scholarship on borders at the time, in order to draw the conclusion that we should get rid of borders. Taking the editorial as our starting point, we speak about collaboration, and the joy of working together with people with whom we share a politics, and a sense of humor. And we talk about no borders as a practical political project, that is carried out in the here and now, by all of us who refuse to conform to nationalized borders. Bridget, Cynthia, and Nandita bring two pieces of music to the episode: No One Is Illegal, by Renovatio, and Absolute Power, by Akala. We recorded this episode right after the Maritime Solidarities conference that brought Bridget, Cynthia, and Nandita to Amsterdam in September of 2023. This was a few weeks before the Israeli state took the Hamas attack on the 7th of October as an opportunity to escalate the destruction of Palestinian life in Gaza and the Westbank. We don’t speak about Palestine in the episode. But, as we publish this in January 2024, we want to state that the freedom dreams we express in this conversation apply to Palestine in Particular. And right now, we must act. We must reject this total destruction of life. We must resist the occupation, we must resist settler colonialism, and we must resist ethnic-nationalist states. And, we must refuse to lose, as Bridget puts it in this episode.

Our guest today is Hidaya Nampiima, co-founder and spokesperson of Amsterdam City Rights, an organisation of people living in Amsterdam with and without the right papers. What is Amsterdam like if you don’t have a BSN number? When you are shut out from healthcare, schooling, housing, education, legal work, and political participation? Hidaya talks about becoming undocumented and being pushed onto the streets, to then pick up her pieces and find her voice by challenging injustice. There is no such thing as being undocumented, she explains. It’s the system that creates undocumented people.

In de aflevering vandaag spreken we met Roos Ykema, van MiGreat. MiGreat werd vorig jaar bekend door de hulp die ze boden in ter Apel, toen honderden mensen noodgedwongen op het veld voor het aanmeldcentrum voor asielzoekers moesten slapen. Daar zag Roos hoe op allerlei manieren en door allerlei beslissingen een crisis werd gecreëerd, en hoe vervolgens die crisis uitnodigde tot nieuwe harde maatregelen. Verder hebben we het met Roos over haar politieke ontwikkeling, over hoe noodhulp gebruikt kan worden door het grenssysteem, en ook, hoe het een springplank kan zijn voor verzet en systeemverandering. Ten slotte spreken we over het politieke werk dat MiGreat doet, zoals rechtszaken aanspannen samen met mensen in asielzoekerscentra, het organiseren van demonstraties, en het opzetten van politieke campagnes. En we luisteren naar Mississippi Goddam van Nina Simone, naar Don’t Hurt Yourself van Beyonce, en naar een prachtige speech van spoken-word artist Lev Avitan: https://levavitan.nl/ Zoals altijd zijn we benieuwd naar jullie gedachten!

1:22:04

In this episode of de Verbranders, we talk to Gracie Mae Bradley about a book she co-wrote with Luke de Noronha, called “Against Borders: The Case for Abolition”. In it, they draw inspiration from prison abolitionism and the black feminist politics that shape it, and they bring that body of thought and practice to the work of organising against borders. We talk about the harm borders do, the hierarchies they produce, and the importance of dismantling them. And we talk about how prison abolitionism teaches us to do this work of dismantling alongside the equally important work of building the worlds we want to live in, with the ultimate goal of shrinking borders into non-existence. We also ask Gracie about what it is she loves, and the kinds of worlds she dreams of and is fighting for. We asked her to bring three pieces of art, which we weave into the conversation. Enjoy! Graphic design by Thomas from Dark Roast (www.instagram.com/thomas.darkroast) Theme music: David (guitar) and Joris (drums) Theme music: Allen (accordion)and Neske (violin), after Doina from the Fanfare Ciocarlia During the episode, we listen to Philip Glass' Dance No. 4, and Gracie reads from Alexis Pauline Gumbs' "Undrowned" and from a stunning poem she wrote, called "On Ending"…

Ep 20: Deporting Black Britons. With Luke de Noronha (English). 1:18:37

1:18:37

In our conversation today, we talk to Luke de Noronha about his book Deporting Black Britons: Portraits of deportation to Jamaica. Meant as a contribution to the collective struggle against racism and deportation, the book tells the life stories of four men who grew up in the UK, were deported to Jamaica following criminal conviction, and now struggle to survive and rebuild their lives in the Caribbean. We start the conversation talking about Luke’s process of conducting research for this book. We talk about his friendship with the four men he writes about, and what this friendhip meant – and continues to mean - for his work as a researcher. We also talk about Jamaica, the legacies of slavery, colonialism and ongoing neocolonialism that explain Jamaica’s relative position to the UK, and the immense amount of ignorance on the effects of these legacies in the European nation-states we speak from. We end our conversation discussing Luke’s forthcoming book on border abolition, called ‘against borders: the case for abolition’ which he wrote together with Gracie Mae Bradley. In it, Luke and Gracie argue we must transform society and our relationships to one another, and build a world in which everyone has the freedom to move and to stay.…

Polly came up with this term to point to the complicated relationship between violent mobility injustice and the life-saving rescue efforts that occur in response. What does it mean when humanitarianism is the main response to death and suffering at the border? What lines can be drawn between today’s humanitarian borders, colonialism and white supremacy?

Ep 18: No Borders & A decolonization worth fighting for. With Nandita Sharma (English). 1:28:14

1:28:14

Our guest today is Nandita Sharma. Nandita is a professor of sociology at the University of Hawaii and an active member of several social movements, including the No Borders movement and movements struggling for the planetary commons. In our conversation today, we talk about Nandita's recent book Home Rule: National sovereignty and the separation of natives and migrants (2020). In this book, she profoundly questions the idea that humanity can be divided up into nations, and that each nation can claim a particular place on this earth and demarcate it as theirs. As countless historical and contemporary examples show, Nandita explains, such claims can always be mobilized against other people who are seen not to be native, and who therefore can have their rights removed, be excluded, expelled or even exterminated. We also talk about the hardening of nationalisms across the political spectrum and the need to organize for a world that is profoundly about non-exclusion. As climate catastrophe intensifies, people are going to be moving for their lives at a scale that is unprecedented. How are we going to transform the way that we respond to such movements, so that we don’t simply accept mass death at the world’s borders? As Nandita argues, it truly is a matter of survival that we learn to imagine ourselves as a political community on a planetary level. The dismantling of borders, Nandita argues, is an essential step in our struggle toward a decolonization worth fighting for.

Afl 17: Activisme in de gemeenteraad. Met Jazie Veldhuyzen (Nederlands). 59:01

59:01

Jazie is activist en strijd sinds 2020 als fractievoorzitter van BIJ1 in de gemeenteraad in Amsterdam, onder andere tegen het algemene ontmoedigingsbeleid dat er op gericht is om het voor niet-rijke en geracialiseerde mensen uit voormalige koloniën zo moeilijk mogelijk te maken om naar Nederland te komen en hier een leven op te bouwen. Dat ontmoedigen gebeurt vooral door steeds selectiever grensbeleid en de koppelingswet die sinds 1998 van kracht is en verblijfstatus aan toegang tot legaal werk en overheidsvoorzieningen koppelt. In de aflevering vertelt Jazie over hoe dat ontmoedigingsbeleid er in de praktijk uitziet en welke mogelijkheden de gemeente Amsterdam zou hebben om tegen het rijk in te gaan. Hij stelt bijvoorbeeld voor dat de gemeente haar eigen opvang regelt, dus een opvang die niet gekoppeld is aan het landelijke terugkeerbeleid, en om geillegaliseerden toegang te geven tot Amsterdamse onderwijsinstellingen. Ten slotte benadrukt hij hoe belangrijk juist buitenparlementaire politiek is in het teweeg brengen van verandering. NB: de opname voor deze aflevering vonden plaats op 1 juli 2021.

We talk to Sami about illegalization in the Netherlands, and about the Landelijk Vreemdelingen Voorziening, a temporary shelter that offers no solutions, because people are being deported against their will, or, if they cannot be deported, end up on the street again. At the moment, politicians are debating whether or not the LVV should continue until after it’s initial period of one and a half year. In the meantime, people are being put on the street. So, Sami and a few of his comrades decided to start the group “We Are Still Here”. Together, they are saying loud and clear that it is time to end temporary solution and to provide permanent residency permits for all.
