Left of Black S9:E11: Michael Ralph on the Forensics of Capital

'Left of Black host Mark Anthony Neal is joined in the studio by professor, Michael Ralph, author of Forensics of Capital (University of Chicago Press, 2015). Ralph is an Associate Professor in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University where he is also the Director of the Metropolitan Studies Program. In Forensics of Capital he illustrates how Senegal’s diplomatic standing was strategically forged in the colonial and postcolonial eras at key periods of its history and is today entirely contingent on the consensus of wealthy and influential nations as well as international lending agencies.'
