S01E01 Challenging Colonialism in California is produced by Martin Rizzo-Martinez, HistorÃan, & Daniel Stonebloom, a Public School Administrator. We want to be both accountable & transparent about what our role is and what it is not. It is not our intention to further colonize the narrative, or to misrepresent stories that arenât our own. Our own perspectives are unimportant, but weâd like to hear yours: Please leave your feedback, suggestions, reviews, ideas for future episodes, and more at the episode page, and please share and promote the podcast in your networks.
Interviews were recorded by Martin Rizzo Martinez & Alexii Sigona. Music in this episode was created by Bernard Gordillo & Hilson Parker.
The title of todayâs episode comes from the work of Grzegorz Welizarowicz, who uses the term âinstruments of colonizationâ in his piece "California Mission Bells: Listening Against the 'Fantasy Heritage'" published in 2016 in Beyond Philology https://fil.ug.edu.pl/sites/default/files/_nodes/strona-filologiczny/33797/files/beyond_philology_no_13.pdf#page=239
