Podcasting Race: Participatory Media Activism in Postcolonial Italy

crossmark logo

Abstract

In the past few years, the increasing production of podcasts on issues of race and structural racism has been part of a wider panorama of digital activism that has promoted global antiracist networks and fostered an intersectional debate on race and gender oppression, migrations and citizenship, generally inadequately discussed by Italian mainstream media. After analysing the specificities of the podcast as citizen media and as tools for global mobilisation, the article examines three podcasts produced by Italian Black women and women of Color as case studies (Sulla razza, Black Coffee and The Chronicles of a Black Italian Woman).
