American Indian Airwaves

Dr. Kyle T. Mays is an Assistant Professor of African American Studies, American Indian Studies, and History at UCLA. He is the author of Hip Hop Beats, Indigenous Rhymes: Modernity and Hip Hop in Indigenous North America (2018) and finishing his manuscript for the forthcoming book titled, An Afro-Indigenous History of the United States, which will be a part of their ReVisioning American History series. Dr. Mays joins us for entire hour to discuss Afro-Indigeneity, the historical and contemporary forms of Indigenous-African American solidarity movements, the past and present complications of United States history and settler colonial violence, and how to move forward with stronger forms of Indigenous-African American solidarity and decolonial movements in the United States.
